Array ( [sid] => 74415 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Why Are You Selfish? [time] => 2004-12-04 19:09:57 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Selfish, I'll take that as a rhetorical question
because you really don't want to hear my aggression,
but since it's common from a mental health profession.
Listen for a second from a sufferer of major depression.

Now, I can aggravate you or make you relate
to the world of my psychological state,
but before I set you striaght
let's start by discussing my emotional traits.

Imagine persistent sadness, anxious, and empty moods
feelings of hopelessness, worthlessness, and helplessness about everything you do.
I'm not describing a simple case of the blues.
What I'm speaking of leaves many dazed and confused.

Not to mention the insomia, guilt, and constant overeating
accompanied by restlessness, irritability, and physical symptoms repeating.
With darken thoughts of death sometimes defeating
having to take prescription pills that are not always treating.

Now I'm stuck in the dungeon of sadness and neverending pain.
I'm tired of the steady and dreaded days of endless rain,
and now it's about time to break the cycle and steel linked chains
along with the struggle of thinking am insane.

Go ahead and say you understand my fight
and that what I'm about to do just isn't right,
but if you truely know then things won't be alright
and you wouldn't have said that I didn't think before I tried to take my own life.

Actually I considered them first
and I also though I would be making things worse
but I believe if things were reversed
that nobody should have to live life cursed.

Now that I have brough you up to date
you should now know exactly what I faced
and why I choose my own fate,
and that it wasn't meant to bring about hate it was my only way to escape.

So, before you judge and try to accuse
about the path I decided to choose.
Put yourself in my shoes
only then can you understand my point of view.

this one goes straite to the heart as it's written from the heart.
I pray you tell your Dr. that his meds aren't working. He can keep on till he finds thre right medication.
I know how it feels thinking it's the only way to peace but thank God my children gave me three really good reasons to stay.
I very seldom ever get that down any more 'cause what I'm doing now is my best reason to stay.
Never let anyone makes u feel worthless as u r a great writer and writing is my reason now that my children are grown.
First u need to forget bout someone judging u 'cause life is too short.
If there's someone making u feel this way then get away from them. U can't feel positive if someone negative is always trying to make u be.ieve you're worthless.
I know u r somebody 'cause God don't make no junk.
God bless u with inner peace.
luv, huggs, faith, hope, joy, peace 2 u,
emy
