    • About Me

      My name is Leigh-Ann and I am 26. I have bipolar disorder with mixed episodes and rapid cycling. I also have wicked bad anxiety. Right now I'm very depressed and having panic attacks. I hate my job, because i have to deal with the public and it makes me mentally sick. I constantly beat myself up inside for every mistake that I make. I can barely go out by myself. I'm a mess. Sometimes I feel like I'm not strong enough to handle the burden that God has placed on me. I try to have faith and tell myself that i was born with this stuff for a reason. But I feel lost. I just don't know what to do.

      Mood October 26, 2009 6:02pm

      I feel like I'm burning at the stake

      Only I 'm clinging to it

      Like it's my sanity

      My heart is beating

      Out of my chest

      And I am sweating …

      Mood October 26, 2009 5:57pm

      I'm crying again

      Feeling worthless again

      I thought the tears that escape me

      Were supposed to make me feel better

      Instead I feel worse

      How many tears …

      Mood October 21, 2009 11:21am

      I'm up, and racing.

      My body is doing 200 mph,

      Trying to catch up to my head.

      I feel like a tornado,

      Leaving a path of perfection,

      Or …

    • I never claimed it was a good poem.

      Mood October 11, 2009 5:24pm

      I feel like a weight has been placed on my shoulders.

      And is dragging me down into the abyss of my own hell.

      The tears stream down my face like a leaky …
