Why can't our brains just be normal and have regular serotonin levels??
It's so hard with a brain like mine
I don't know why it's like this
I didn't choose to be sad
I didn't get to choose my brain
I wish I did
If I could,
I would've chosen a happy, normal brain
One that functions the right way and doesn't think about ending it every second of the day
I hate this brain that I have
I wish it were a different brain
I wish I were a different human
@depressoespresso777 Hi Espresso! This is a really impactful and beautiful poem. I love poetry because everyone gets to be free in what they write about without any restrictions ❤️ I love that you shared how you were feeling this way. I'm sorry that you have to deal with these feelings, but I am so happy you are here. 💗 I know it's just a poem, but I want to share crisis resources with you just in case so you have them :)
You can call 988 or text the Crisis Text Line at 741-741 if you are in crisis. If you're not in America, here's a list of international suicide hotlines: https://blog.opencounseling.com/suicide-hotlines/ I hope this helps <3
I totally get wanting to have a different brain. I sometimes want one too. But I eventually realized that depression has made me much more empathetic and able to see other people's pain. Yes, I can see it too much but being able to see it at all is better than most people. So depression for me is also my way of making the world better. I would be happier with better brain chemicals but I wouldn't be a better person. @depressoespresso777
Aaahhh I feel you espresso. Hope you feel better and get that serotonin 😉
Been thinking this my whole life and my brain never stops haunting me. It’s a torture chamber and my body is a cage. I can’t escape my thoughts they just follow me wherever I go. Taunting me. Reminding me of horrible things that I’ve seen or been through.
