Overthinking has sucked the energy from my brain and my body now feels exhausted. I cannot remember the last time I slept properly. I am at a constant war with myself. I have this constant feeling of a hole in my chest – a hollow feeling I cannot explain. Daily holding tears back because I don’t want to give in to this evil disease that has taken over my body and soul.

My mind felt this to be too good to be true. A feeling of unhappiness dawned up on me. Depression slowly starting creeping in.

I want to feel happiness again. I want to feel sadness again. I want to feel excited again. I want to feel emotions again. I want to feel again.
