At times, I am so overwhelmed it is almost more than I can bear not to sink to my knees and howl with the agony of being alive. I want to just go to sleep and not wake up; for every moment I am conscious my head feels like a battlefield.
I cannot function anymore, outwardly I am trying to be brave but I don’t know how to persevere - I can barely continue this thing called life. This pain, this torment is binding, oppressing and slowly destroying me. My life seems overcast with a sad sense of waste, anger, hurt and brittleness.
