Dissociation

[ephemeraldeep]

Since I got back from America, I've felt detached from my body. I've sorta grown used to it- this feeling that I am not caring for myself but for another person, that I am not walking but lugging around extra weight. It takes some persuasion to get my limbs to move and in the morning, I have to flex my body into life. I touch legs, ribs, arms, feet

I'm only a random lurker without a LJ account looking at the AS friends feed, but I felt like I should say something, even though my words are of little to no significance. As someone who has also battled with heavy depression in the past and still cycles through it today, I do feel empathy with what you're going through. I used to be on medication, which helped to an extent but made me feel sick, so I quit it. Obviously I cannot know exactly how you're feeling or why, but I wanted to say that . . . I hear you, I guess. As silly or meaningless as that might sound. From what I've seen through the AS community you're a bright person, a good writer, and I hope you are able to get through this soon.

Thank you so much. It's not insignificant to say such things, it means a lot to me. <3 I've been struggling with anything to say, so I'll just say thank you again, very much.
