"No I'm Not Fine Thanks for Asking." A prose poem about depression, masking, relationships, and existing in a world that isn't made for mental illness.
No I’m Not Fine Thanks for Asking.
I wonder if people know how easy it would be to fall from the face of the earth. Not to die. But to stop existing anyway. To stop talking and sharing and communicating because it doesn't really matter. Because people don't really care. To give in to the thoughts and feelings that it doesn't matter. That people would walk away as soon as you were actually real. Because I see it all the time. Because we have to be the assholes, right? Because we don't say everything is fine and okay and our day is good.

Part of the runthepeninsula.com series. Just found out about it actually. Next time, we might be participating (in the walk part 😂).

A poem about depressions and the constant battle that it is. How it erupts in the everyday. How it holds tight. And how it loosens. How it's always there.

My therapist once said she worried I could be a little manic, but that I would back down before she got concerned enough to have it be something.
I keep thinking she should have pushed on that more?

Is there a word or a phrase for when you feel like banging your head against the wall but you're too tired to actually move so you just sit there with your head against the wall?

I think we're mad about the right things, but coming to the wrong conclusions.
Like, my wife just told me about people being upset with Kelly Clarkson about a comment she made about people having to work and schools holding events during school hours.
