  • “Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”

    So, which is it? Are we alone in the universe, or are we not? Both possibilities are equally terrifying. Always loved this quote. Something about it just resonates in my head. I look forward to the day, probably my son’s generation, when they will hear a bloop on a satellite somewhere indicating an intelligent signal.…

  • Living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): My Journey to Recovery

    Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are both mental health conditions that have significantly impacted my life. BPD is characterized by intense and unstable emotions, impulsive behavior, and a distorted sense of self, while PTSD is a condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event.

  • Meh

    38,102,400 seconds 635,040 minutes 10,584 hours 441 days 63 weeks Today I had a drink, breaking my year-long sobriety streak. It’s hard to put into words how disappointed and ashamed I feel right now. I had been doing so well, and now it feels like all of that progress has been erased in an instant.…

  • Scribblings

    So for my sins, I have been charged with 2 tooth extractions, a filling, and some kind of other white fillings for the receding gums. I haven’t had any treatment for quite a few years so I see this as not such a bad thing. The extractions could be turned into fillings but as they…

  • Imploded brains

    I was going to do a QOTD but need to do some typing therapy. So, there was a saga with my meds not turning up on time, only a couple that I needed were missing from the several I take. I started a new increase in meds on Monday which ruined the first part of…

  • The importance of sleep

    Sleep. A fundamental part of all of us, great and small. Can’t live without it but these days I can’t live with it. I think it all started a few days ago. Might of been a week. Horredous nightmares reliving past trauma resulting in really poor sleep, waking up in a sweat or moving alot…

  • Comfortable goings on

    I’m staring at a white screen again. I keep going from screen to coffee to spotify and then back to screen again. I can’t focus on one thing for too long it seems. More than likely due to being triggered last night. I had bad dreams again. I think I caused it myself from writing…

  • Mysterious Goings On

    I had a panic attack on Friday which wasn’t great, but they never are. I heard people moving outside of the house. The curtains were drawn. Lights were off and I was sat on the sofa “depression balling” with the dog. The dog helped. I started thinking “What if they get it?” and a million…

  • Thats all she wrote.

    So. I think I’ve come to the point where I have concluded that I’m done. Done with life and existing. I’m just tired, so so tired of being ill, being a bother and a hassle to everyone. I dont have a date in mind. I just feel ready. Ready for when that moment comes and…

  • A year goes bye [sic]

    So some how a year has lapsed since I was last on here. I do have positive things for a change. Something haven’t really changed. Others got worse but then thats par for the course. I quit alcohol on 1st Janurary 2022 and stuck to it, not a drop since then. Its been really hard…
