Mental Illness

Voices When the voices speak, you have no option but to listen. They get demanding at times and there’s nothing you can do about it. Personal experiences has shown to me that they demand things. Things I don’t normally wouldn’t do or say. Yet they are there and those thoughts interfere with my normal day-to-day life. Trying to ignore them and they get louder. Trying to tell them to go away, and they get pissed off. I don’t know how to deal with them most of the time. It’s not an easy thing to handle or deal with. It would be nice to be able to sit down and talk with someone about all of this. But therapists just don’t understand I’m afraid.

Putting on his coat, George headed towards the door. Taking a step outside, he looked around. No one seemed to notice him. That was good enough. George walked out into the middle of the street and picked up the piece of paper. It read: That wasn...

Never A Dull Moment

Jennifer walked down the sidewalk towards her apartment. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. She smiled at the thought of going home and turning on the television and just relaxing. Work had been kinda stressful for her. She was ready to just forget about it all and get over whatever she had gone through that day. Upon arriving home, she took off her shoes and plopped down on the couch in front of her television. Pressing the button on the remote she noticed it wasn't working. Either her TV was on the fritz or her power was out. She reached over and clicked the lamp's switch. Nothing happened. "Oh don't worry about those, you won't be needing them." A female voice said. It was her voice. Jennifer turned around to see herself standing in the entry way of the kitchen. "Don't freak out, I'm you." The other Jennifer said. "Call me Jenny." Jennifer stood up slowly. She hadn't used the nickname Jenny in a long time. Not si...
