Slowly feeling like time doesn’t exist anymore, like it doesn’t move at all. Being in a room of people and they are all hypercritical of everything you say, every move you make, every breath. Staring in a mirror pulling, tugging, scratching at the body you were born in wishing you were able to shapeshift. Waking up with the knowledge of no future, no hope, absolutely nothing of worth tied to your name.
This may not be your reality, but it is a world that many find themselves trapped in. The state of an individuals mind is more than just the emotions they feel on the day to day or even what they do. Its beneath the skin that tells the story, into the mind that holds the thoughts that they may not even understand or are aware of themselves. Its in the layers that tells the true story, the outside just a cover or a disguise, something to get by unsuspectingly. They would never want someone to know what is under the mask.
What triggered it? Why then? Does everyone feel this? Is everyone hiding behind that mask of theirs? Or are they just an outcast who can’t even comprehend their own chaos? It is easy for people with mental illness to feel alone and isolated because it feels as if their own mind is against them. Loneliness doesn’t have to be the end of the story, because truthfully, people with mental illnesses are not alone. There are more people that can relate to how you are feeling than you might think. Revealing what is underneath the mask can help break out of the dreadful world.
Slowly feeling like time doesn’t exist anymore, like it doesn’t move at all. What is stopping that clock from starting again?
