if you follow the paintbrush with your eyes while not moving your head, it forces you to use emdr which is a therapeutic technique to calm anxiety/panic. watching fish swim causes the same effect.

side effects of being numb due to mental illness:

not crying for weeks and weeks on end until one day, you’re breaking down over something that isn’t actually worth getting upset about

not being able to tell if your feelings for people are platonic or romantic or if you’re just lonely

instead of caring too much, you don’t care at all about anything

not being able to process anything going on in your life and when you try, your brain stalls out

losing your train of thought every five seconds, so when you try to have a conversation, you have to pause and remember what you were trying to say

I don’t know. I just don’t know. I don’t know what to do, I don’t know what I’m feeling.

Here is the tragedy: when you are the victim of depression, not only do you feel utterly helpless and abandoned by the world, you also know that very few people can understand, or even begin to believe, that life can be this painful. There is nothing I can think of that is quite as isolating as this.

getting sad at night for no reason is my best talent

That’s the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it’s impossible to ever see the end.

And things are not always okay but even from rock bottom I can still see the sky. I can still see the stars.

Breathe. You’re a mess. You don’t know what you want for dinner tonight and you don’t know who you are sometimes. It’s okay to lose yourself. It’s okay to be lost. Breathe.

It’s happening again I don’t feel so good and I don’t know how to turn it off Songs that play like sobbing sound better Coffee as my sole meal of the day tastes better Canceling plans feels better And what’s the point in getting out of bed when I’ll be back in there tonight? I am only looking at my “to do” list when I add to it I am gazing out the window at work, at school, half-here, half-dead. I am choking out in the street My head tells me there are people out there that are more talented, more capable, more beautiful, better than me and I do not stand up to it. I am up to my knees in unspilled blood I am not in the mood for your questions, so please, can you hold off on them? It is happening again. I don’t feel so good and I do not know how to turn it off.

It’s kind of tricky when you’re a over-thinker and you are aware of it. At this point I’m so unsure about the conclusions I come up with. I mean, is it true? Or did I make it up because I have been overthinking too much? Am I right or has my overthinking fooled me?
