Not in terms of my mind, I’ve been relatively sane, but with the actual events going on. so 2019, first time in my adult life I finally found and...

    Grown adult scared of electricity

    I didn’t have this problem 4 years ago. But I realized this was a problem when I was unplugging my drier from the wall. It’s powered by one of those dedicated high amp plugs so about 240V/shittonofamps. I was literally shaking to unplug it. So scared of getting shocked that I grabbed a dry towel...

    Creepy old ladies

    I’ve always felt uneasy around old women who can’t control their urge to gab your arm or get uncomfortably close. Quite frankly if an old man had done that to a girl my age (23) it would likely enrage bystanders. So today I was checking the mail and there was this old lady that always seems to...

    Paranoia rising again

    Meds are great but i f***in hate them

    so family doctor prescribes me some trazodone 100mg. Figured 100 was too much since I slept forever on it, so I split them into 50s. Works great. Overthinking screeches to a halt at night, but then I have even worse memory problems in the day. Last night was the second night (or third, idk my...

    But I Could Have Stopped It

    Someone told me I couldn't have possibly stopped the abuse happening at home and at school, from age 9-12, but I know that's a lie, because there have been times I was able to throw a teacher on his ass. I was 75 lbs soaking wet and this guy was 190 lbs of muscle and was training to be a cop. He...

I like being talkative and such, but Yeah my emotions just don't show. Not quite a cronic btch face thing, just not showing...

    My Wife Is Seriously My Rock

    I dont know what I'd do without her. She's had my back as much as I've had hers. And we've been through hell and we're only halfway back. This weekend has been really bad for us.

    I Feel Like They Know

    You know how animals just know things humans are usually oblivious about? They know when a storms coming, some animals know when a womans pregnant before she knows, and know if they can't trust a person. I used to be a butcher on the kill floor. The job itself was uneasy but someone has to do...

    I Laugh When I Shouldn't

    I dont know why, but my go-to way of masking or coping with my negative emotions is laughing. I guess my mind doesn't want me to open up about how I really feel. Maybe because people fed off of my fear and pain growing up. Seriously, watching alien, I laugh at the scary parts. I'm venting to...

    It Just Dawned On Me, I've Been Sober For 5 Months.

    Last time I got drunk was in the middle of september. A few months ago I had one of those mini bottles of rum in the house I've had for years, decided to sip that because I didn't want to just chuck it. But I'm amazed I've been sober for so long, knowing I'm literally a block away from a liquor...
