What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?
I write
This is my coping method
Write all the terrible things
The things I used to say about myself but people told me to stop
So now I just write them in secret
All the moments I want to be angry
Put them in the net
I can feel the feeling without someone telling me it’s wrong to feel that way
Like I don’t already know
Always I’ve had these big unspeakable feelings
The humans I have met don’t like feelings
Bottling it up led to ..
Eh
Some things
So now it goes here
I thought I had murdered one of my piggies and wrote that here
Only to find out hours later she was fine and to see what I’d thought of myself
It’s a thought experiment
It’s a journal
It’s my mute therapist
It’s poetic
Raw and awful
Trigger warning for the entire thing but unapologetically
If someone took the time to read it all the may know me
And it all started with a psychosis and the intrusive thought “write through the panic”
Minds are wild like that.
