I’m learning how to be a person again. Four days ago I nearly jumped in front of a car. This is the fifth time in three weeks that’s happened. Once I held myself back from jumping in front of a train. I would hate to be a hassle. I’ve only been eating toast and shredded wheat cereal. Two days ago I ate my cereal and then puked it up twenty minutes later to feel control. I bruised my ribs the same way I always do, Wrenched out my shoulder the same way I always do, Lost my hands to stiff pain the same way I always do. I keep poking at wounds Because the pain Is how I know I’m alive. I’m still deciding if that’s good or bad.

i can't bring myself to talk to anyone, so this is just an attempt to understand how i'm coping (or not) with my current situation
