My kind of happiness
By Poetworldgvdh
I have been addicted to antidepressants for 9 years now, and this month I am slowly coming off them with safe help from my doctors.
But before that, I did come off them fast and the side effects were out of this world. I would wake up dizzy, with a feeling of not being in this universe. It would be horrible, to say the least, but I found poetry actually healed me.
I’ve been writing poetry since I was diagnosed with depression.
When I write, I feel my terrible past fade. Memories of being moved from foster homes and being dumped around the system just fade onto the paper. I feel this heals everything. No longer do I feel sorry for the person I was. I feel content that she is free, and her words can help others too!
I just want to be heard
By Cherelle
It’s annoying when people ask you, ‘Why do you feel the way you do?’
If I knew, I wouldn’t be in this mess in the first place.
Sometimes it’s best not to say anything and just listen to the person who is trying to reach out and be heard.
