social-anxiety-disorder.txt

Dear Earthings,

As you already likely know, I receive Disability pensions for my Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). OCD is my only official diagnosis, and it is enough of a friendly demon to live with. However, I think I also have "Social Anxiety Disorder" and am "BiPolar." Like I said, OCD is enough to deal with, so I'm not going to try treating 3 mental illnesses, which would probably end up causing even more.

For a brand new poem, I often say,
"This is hot off my mental presses."
For this one though, I'll say,
"This is hot off my mental depresses."

Yesterday, the city I wandered,
Feeling lonely in the crowd.

Today, I'm home alone,
Dreaming stories to myself.
I think about going out
To let the real world in,
But I'll probably just stay inside
With "Solitude" and "Fear,"
My constant friends.

Tomorrow's full of promise,
But today is all I have.
And promises are broken,
So why even reach out to grab?

Today is all I have
And about all that I can handle.
My struggle with Solitude and Fear
Makes for a very quiet battle.
