“Stuck in a neutral grey world with a dense white fog that sits in your mind like an oil canvas painted with black demons, where death is better than life. It is the purgatory between mental illness and death where all clocks have stopped for eternity.
You are drowning in a black ocean of your mental illness feeling empty and numb.
You cannot explain your severe clinical depression and the world doesn’t understand it until your suicide.
You are all alone with your bipolar disorder swinging between depressive lows and manic highs.
You fear your anxiety disorders would break your world down to pieces.
You hallucinate while your psychotic disorder disconnects you from reality.
You have become a half-living ghost.”
