re-watching Glee
weeping like a baby
nothing like
some voices raised
and teenage angst
to make me emotional
I’ve realized something though…
I’ve not really reacted emotionally
to much of anything
since I started on antidepressants
years ago…
Not for years
oh – i’m still mouthy
but the feelings
are no longer there
I don’t think I even cried
when my dad died
or
my mom had to go to a home
So
The question becomes
is dealing with
the physical and emotional
anxiety symptoms
and the black hole
called depression
without going back on the meds
worth it?
or
is experiencing the emotional highs
the joy
the laughter
and the returning
ability to write
the ability to feel emotion
worth the cost?
what if I were to lose
my temper
like in the “old days”
what if I hurt myself
or even worse
someone else
is the ability
to find joy
or write
worth
losing control?
Why is controling myself
so important
why is there such a need
for me to be
appearing “normal”
was who I used to be
really so bad?
is it worth it?
