I am divided in two because I loss my best friend at age 15. Sometimes I am delusional. Sometimes my thoughts make no sense. Sometimes my words slur in mid-conversation. Sometimes I can't feel anything at all. Sometimes I have no motivation to eat or sleep. Sometimes the voices in my head aren't my own and I want to scream at them to shut up. I will not romanticize my mental condition. I am giving a voice to a personal issue of mine. Do that make me insane? No, just aware. Movies make my condition a horror movie or a thriller movie. It is neither something that controls me or makes me a lunatic. Maybe I am just more strong willed than most people with my condition. My mental illness doesn't make me any less human. I could argue that it makes me more human. Do I sound insane bringing up my symptoms? Maybe I don't know what normal is.
