I haven't been to sleep at all tonight and it is currently 5:00 AM. I had a relapse as you could have guess from the title. I mean I guess you could call it a relapse. Really I had a moment of crazy. I have cuts all over my ankles, thighs, arms, stomach. It's pretty bad. If you want the story here it is:  A former friend called me a disrespectful bitch and made me feel pretty horrid about myself. So I cried. but crying... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/44263/126566/relapse http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/44263/119305/years-posting Tue, 07 Sep 2010 05:24:17 -0400 Irma I have returned with wonderful news. I am currently in recovery. I guess that is what you would call it. My depression is no longer a prevalent issue in my everyday life. I would like to say that it is no longer an issue in my life, but that would be untrue. I still deal with bouts of depression. It will come over me like a sudden wave on occasion and it would be nice to think that I have completely over come my... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/44263/119305/years-posting http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/44263/119304/years-posting Tue, 07 Sep 2010 05:24:12 -0400 Irma I have returned with wonderful news.

She chose to walk alone Though others wondered why Refused to look before her, Kept eyes cast upwards, Towards the sky. She didn't have companions No need for earthly things. Only wanted freedom, From what she felt were Puppet strings. She longed to be a bird That she might fly away. She pitied every blade of grass For planted they would stay. She longed to be a flame, That brightly danced alone. Felt... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/44263/53182/watching-night http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/44263/47305/don Sun, 02 Nov 2008 23:09:31 -0500 Irma When i'm around my friends or at school my depression goes away, or so i think.
