Sleep what is it
Is it getting a break from your mind
Or something else
How do you get Sleep
By taking pills, by relaxing and meditation
Or do you need pills to get you to sleep
Pills that are addictive but now the question is
Do they help
Most people would say yes it does
But for me no they don't
Is it the environment you're in
Nightmares keep you up and not wanting sleep
However no one can truly understand sleep
I was told if you eat you get Sleep
However that is not the case
Sleep cannot be defined by a label
Or medication
I don't know what is sleep but what I do know
Is that I can not get any, since seeing death
I close my eyes and I see my dad
He is not alive
He is not breathing
He is dead in his bed
My Nightmares keep me awake
When you are young and see someone like that in a bed
You ask yourself what could you have done better but
No one could ever understand what you have gone through
And what you are still going through
My dad passed away on December 31st 2020. I saw him lying there in his bed and it haunts me to this day. I wish he could see how hurt I was seeing him like that but life goes on. I've been trying to get my mind right but it always comes back to that single moment

Sip
It's one thing that can help sleep
Once you start there it can become an addiction
It helps me think and study
Stops me from eating
Stops me from being scared
It just helps with my feeling and emotions
Stuck in my room alone
It's the one thing that can help
Isolation is fine with me
Family is hard though but I don't mind or care
It has always been this way.
Covid-19 has struck again in Brisbane and my professionals are worried about my body and the way it is.

Tia
You were my friend
My recovery buddy
For the thing that lead to your death
I am so lost for words
It can't be true. It just can't be
You were my closest friend when it came to it
I thought that you were doing OK
But you weren't
I know you were trying so hard to fight it
But it won in the end
Love you so much and I will miss you so much more
Bye Tia
I just lost one of my closest friends when it comes to having an eating disorder.

Why would you do this
Why did a simple procedure go so wrong
You were the only person in my life that tried to understand me
Even though you abused me and did the things you did
I still love you
You are my rock
Last year my dad was in a coma for 14 days I thought he was going to die but he got through it

Someone who has self-harm scars
Don't say that you shouldn't do it
It is inconsiderate and rude
You don't know what that person has gone through
Don't comment that you are selfish
This person has gone through a lot of stuff
Especially for not hurting them-self for a few weeks
It is not okay to comment on someone's body especially their self-harm scars because that you don't know what they are going through or have been through.

Mental health issues
Is not something to joke about
You have friends for a second
Then they leave you
Your case manager is ****
He doesn't listen
The only person who listens is your gp
Your family doesn't support you
They just say **** IT UP
Hospital is no place to go
All I want to do is end this fight
The fight that has been going on for so long
I'm just done fighting
More scars on my body
And I don't care
Take No Doz to not fall asleep
To prevent from any nightmares to occur
Just to fight another day
A lighter looks like the perfect way to hurt yourself
But that sensation doesn't last for too long
All that's left is cutting
You see the blood drip down
But that's not enough
You think that if you cut deeper
That it will end everything
But that's not the case
Nothing helps anymore
Life just isn't for me anymore
I'm just at the point of not caring anymore whether I die or don't recover. My fate will soon be found out on Thursday if I am back in hospital

Why did you do this
Why didn't you ring me
Why was I not there
You know I would have helped
You took my heart
You were there for me as I was there for you
So what was different this time
I would do anything for you
Now that you are gone
I can't recover
I wish that you were still alive
But you're not
So I have to go on by myself
I just had a close friend **** them self. Please don't do anything like that. It has a ripple effect on everyone around you.
