Title: Mentally ill

I'm ill, diagnosed as such, only it is not in a physical manner; if it were maybe it would be easier to live with. But its mentally- and that is what is most painful about it. Physical pain can be cured in many cases or at least there is a more simple form of cure. Yet for those mentally ill they have to endure the realisation that their thoughts are not themselves. That there is something terribly wrong with them inside of their mind and that their thoughts- although they are all too real, should not be happening.

Yet they are. Everyday I realise that my thoughts, my fears are indeed happening. And I can't break away from them. Pills can give a cure, only for you to find that when you go off of them that you are just as ill as you were before, if not worse.

But sometimes you just need that instantaneous relief, because being in emotional pain those pills- tranquilissers, SSRI's, Paxil, etc- , they are your painkillers. They help numb the pain.
