Please don't change. Mommy will get mad. She'll stand there adn bitch about how you used to be all positive and shit. But don't listen to her. She will bring you down, I promise you that. And about Sonia, don't get so mad when she laughs at you.

“Jason! Jason! Are you there? Jason!!” I opened my eyes and looked at the clock which read 11:30 pm. The date was March 26, 2010. The voice continued calling my name and as the fog lifted I realized it was coming from inside my house. In a state of near total disorientation I called that I would be down in a minute as I scrambled to get dressed.

I am going to start my story off at the beginning. When I was seven I was with a few classmates on break from class. We were at the park and I noticed a piece of candy was on the ground. Innocently enough my friends talked to me about the dangers about candy on the ground and how I should not to eat it, it could be contaminated.

I wish this were a multiple choice exam right now. Then I wouldn't have to become emotional. I have a very hard time regulating my emotions. If I get triggered by an event like my boss speaking through me, I go on this anxiety ridden binge where I shake, throw up a little, and fear nothing and everything all at once.

I find myself alone in this world and I'm very sad. Everyone has abandoned me and I am truly alone. I have nobody to talk too, to confide in and share my problems with. I have nobody to cheer me up when im down, nobody to love or love me

"Mr. Black"

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 21:25:58 +0000

I had never told anyone that I have been hearing voices inside my head, at least not since yesterday (march 20th). Mr. Black is what I call him, he has no real name, yet I found it fitting to call him something. He is a very malicious person, but yet he can be so soothing as well.

Recovery, hope by another name.

I have not had the greatest of lives. I grew-up without a mother, without friends, without help. I have been through hell and back in my eyes. I hear voices in my head, they are not really talking, but they are doing even worse, they are laughing, at me. It was just a week and a half ago that I attempted suicide again.

I was given a second chance to clean up my life and begin to recover. For this I am truly thankful. The nurses at 4south at the IWK in Halifax gave me the time to realize things I would have never took the time to realize. They made me realize that there was more to life then drugs, drinking, partying and self-medicating.

Thank you Andrew

Recently I finished my first official year of university at Western University in London, Ontario. The first year was difficult and stressful at times, but now that it’s over I can’t wait for the second year to begin so I can take more courses

You Have the Final Say about What You Believe

Q: I'm so sensitive to what other people say. What should I do? A: I am a sensitive person as well. I used to allow everything to bother me because I would take what people did or said personally.
