    Zombie Diaries

    The numbness gets to me sometimes. I feel like I'm not feeling anything. Everything seems like it's happening to someone else. I want to cry but I don't know why.

    I've feltthat way before. What I do is count to five. I've made it five seconds without trying to kill myself. I count to five again. I've made it ten seconds without trying to kill myself. I keep doing that until I feel a little more relaxed. After that I call someone to help me. It sounds...

    What Unconventional Ideas Helped Your Recovery?

    I created a weird comic book of my abuse. It helped me figure out what I remember and where the blank spots were. I'm not sure if it helped or hurt laying it out in picture form trying to figure out where the pieces fit together. It helped me remember more. Some of the memories I wish I could...

    What Was Your Nightmare

    My nightmare started when I was 15. I could feel his grip on my head. I wake up choking and gagging and covered in sweat. I've had the same nightmare for 20 years. Sometimes it's so often I'm afraid to sleep.
