    A Friend in the Dark

    You come to me at night

    When the world outside was dreaming

    Too buried in yearnings

    Only you could hear me screaming

    Embellished in a black robe

    Perhaps a shadow or a mist

    My long gaze travelled up to your face

    You smiled like a dearest friend

    I crawled out of my bed.

    Slowly lurking towards you.

    Raising my hand as if

    I could finally touch you

    You burnt my heart,

    as you passed through me

    With an icy coldness

    Like snow falling

    In an utter hotness

    You visit me like an unbidden guest

    Hiding invisible like it was your favourite game

    I asked why can’t they see you

    You said you’re only my friend

    My mind felt like it was on fire

    I cried cause you were another liar

    Like every cage opened in my head

    Voices so loud, I couldn’t comprehend

    You passed me a sympathetic smile

    My dear, it is a forever trial

    Are you a ghost of my past?

    Am I crazy? I finally asked

    You snickered as you spoke so coldly

    “Not crazy; just so lonely

    Do you ever wake up feeling bad? I mean, worse than you usually do when you wake up? That's where I was this morning, after an erythromelalgia flare that kept me awake past 2:00 AM. And my body is still in significant pain. This affirmation was helpful. Knowing I'm seen somehow lightens my burden just a little.

    So, I've texted some family members and friends to see how they're doing and to let them know I care. My chronic pain is still significant, but I can take my mind off myself for just a moment and check in on other people. It may be just momentary, but this is a way to turn my pain inside out.

    So, I truly want you to know that I care about you. How are you feeling today? And what do you do when you feel worse than you usually do? Do you have any physical, mental, or spiritual practices that help you? Thank you!

    Bipolar disorder in teens and young adults: know the signs

    #BipolarDisorder

    Bipolar disorder causes extreme ups and downs in a person’s mood and energy. People have low-energy moods of depression and high-energy moods called mania (also called manic moods).

    Just about everyone goes through ups and downs in their moods. Most of the time, mood changes do not mean a person has bipolar disorder.

    Common Signs & Symptoms of Mania

    -Showing intense happiness or silliness for a long time

    -Having a very short temper or seeming extremely irritable

    -Talking very fast or having racing thoughts

    -Having an inflated sense of ability, knowledge, and power

    -Doing reckless things that show poor judgment

    Common Signs & Symptoms of Depression

    -Feeling very sad or hopeless

    -Feeling lonely or isolating themselves from others

    -Eating too much or too little

    -Having little energy and no interest in usual activities

    -Sleeping too much

    Teens and young adults with bipolar disorder symptoms may think and talk about self-harm or suicide. If someone you know is expressing these thoughts, seek help immediately.

    Rejection and BPD

    I'm incredibly sad. My chest is constantly heavy and inside I feel only guilt. I am alone with these feelings because apparently my husband is mad at me. He is on a longer business trip and on Thursday we had an argument, since then he hasn't even read the messages and had nothing to do with me. I am lonely and I would just like to disappear, disappear from the world, I have nothing but loneliness and emptiness. Does this have BPD? is it supposed to be about this? It seems that even love feels like a burden and only causes melancholia. I don't jump for joy when I fall in love, but inside I feel joy, but at the same time guilt and fear. The fear comes from being afraid to trust and believe in love, to believe that someone sees good in me and fear that they will reject and hurt me. Do these feelings belong to BPD? Does anyone else have the same feelings? #BPD #Sadness #Loneliness #Emptiness
