Although I have only just stumbled across this community I hope you dont mind me releasing 20years worth of a troubled mind:
- the inability to sleep due to a mind that wont relax.
- the inability to reason logically at times.
- the rituals I use top play out in order to relieve anxiety.
- the constant inability in social situations.
- the pain, that although I couldnt feel, could reason over time that I caused my family and friends.
- the empty eyes, that gaze out into world that we cannot understand.
- the medication, that helps me process my thoughts and remain stable, but more importantly the fact that this pertains that I have no control over my own mind.
These are some of the many negatives, I feel I have many positives I have to offer, and it is these that I hang onto:
- the mind that sees the world in a novel way.
- the intelligence, that astonishes my parents, my peers and academics.
- the friends, that I have made that guide me through a world that appears not meant for one like me.
- the slow but greater mastery of my mind that I appear to be attaining each day.
Again these lists are not exhaustive, but give insight into a daily battle that I appear to fight each day with myself.
Thank You, and Regards
Andrew
