My mental illness

by Lyss is dead   Apr 18, 2005


I have a mental illness
It's called clinical depression
My body's all cut up
and dying's my obsession

They give me medications
I think it's just for thrill
There's no way I'll be saved
by a tiny orange pill

I suffer from anxiety
I can never stop shaking
I live for isolation
But these walls are slowly breaking

Nobody believes me
when I tell them I hear voices
I try to stop my problems
But my mind controlls my choices

Depression's taking over me
It's a serious condition
and now I've been pulled so far in
For me there's no remission...

    I have went through some of the things you did and they sucked. My mom told me if I didn't stop cutting then she was going to put me in an institution and thats what she did. I love her for it and she has helped through the toughest times now. I still cut but my mom doesnt know and beleive me i am trying to stop. It is very hard to stop. Just promise me you'll never give up. I havent and I am still trying to stop.
