The friend depression brought Along

A peak into the mind of someone with anxiety.

The friend depression brought Along

Times ticks by either too slowly or too quickly, never inbetween. Never at the right pace.

Waiting in a checkout line almost always takes too long, but on the rare occasion that it does not, I feel nostalgia for the conversations that I could've had.

From this, you can tell that I am the type of really annoying person that cries before the nurse even cleans my skin with an alcohol wipe. Like most two year olds.

But if we're being quite honest, nurses don't make it to that point because by the time they bring the alcohol wipes, I have already ran out the door

From this, you can also tell that I am the kind of person that rehearses almost everything I might say in a day enough to make the most interesting convo topics seem so boring that history teachers everywhere die just a little inside.

On the same note, I'm so scared of dying that I have already planned my own death and funeral at least seven times just to make sure I get it right.

I want food served at my funeral,

Cheeseburgers with sweet pickles and hotdogs with chili and cheese.

No church service.

Put my lifeless body into a long dress with flowers on it

Please make sure my make-up is pretty, all I have ever longed to be was beautiful.

Plant my body beneath the ground somewhere like a seed so maybe I can sprout and grow again.

I'll probably end up pre-writing my obituary because I don't want anyone to mess it up.

Also because I highly doubt that there is anyone else that could understand me better than me. Matter of fact, I dont think there is anyone that could even begin to comprehend the mess and chaos of my broken being.

One thing I don't understand is that my Anxiety plans it's trips months in advance just to be on the safe side.

Anxiety is the friend that Depression and Bipolar Disorder brought to my house for dinner without asking first even though there was a mutual decision stating that Anxiety is a bad friend and she's kind of annoying.

And oh my god, what do I do? I don't have enough chicken casserole to feed them all.

Oh, nevermind. I think Anxiety is a vegetarian.

I'm rambling; excuse me.

I always talk too much or too little and silence scares me because

Silence is sometimes deafening and then other times, silence is not there

But how can something be there one second and then not be there the next?

There is a cycle that I, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and Anxiety all follow in together.

When silence is deafening, I get lonely so I talk.

But sometimes I can't find the right words to fill an empty void

So then I get anxious, which of course leads me to having mood swings

Which then leads to months of ripping bed sheets off of my bed so I can go to sleep, but I am not even tired.

This causes me to be quite a lonely individual.

And loneliness is always too far or too close to being twisted inside my rattling ribcage.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
