I want to recover. I want to open up in therapy and take my medication like I should. I want to feel again. I want this numbness to end. I want to, I do. but for that to happen, my disorders and diagnoses would have to go away. I would be left to face the real world all on my own. this safe world that my disorders have built around me would be gone. I would no longer feel so disconnected from my body. I would no longer feel so disconnected from the world around me. my disorders would leave me. I can’t lose any more friends. I’m still hurt from those endings that I never saw coming and whether I like it or not, these disorder are my best friends. I can’t lose them yet. I’m not strong enough.
