Insomnia: What Brought Me Here?
It all started when I was very young; going to preschool is when I first remember it happening. The night terrors, the old hag*, being completely frightened and trying to scream, but I was paralyzed. Night after night, this is what my life was. I would finally gain control, scream for my mom or run into her room and go to sleep with her. Dream catchers, counting sheep, bibles under my pillow, NOTHING, and I mean nothing, worked. It wasn’t until I was about 12 when I started developing stranger sleeping patterns.

Overcoming the Mess
I've been a hoarder for as long as I can remember. I keep useless shit, receipts from delis in Quebec, train tickets from France, the list goes on and on. I moved to a small town a little over two years ago, and never had anyone come over to my apartment because of the disaster it has always been in... I'm talking about clothes all over the floor (separate piles of clean and dirty), dishes all over the counters making it impossible for making any sort of actual food, and just mess and garbage everywhere. This is now all starting to change.

Borderline Personality Disorder vs. Relationships
Having borderline personality disorder isn't something that I share often or with many people, mostly because I am afraid of what people will think. People with borderline personality disorder know what I'm talking about when I say we do not take the word "no" easily. Sometimes, I blow things way out of proportion for no reason at all, lash out, and sometimes even black out what I am doing.

Six Years Ago
Six years ago, it really has been a while but yet it only seems like yesterday I was walking around the hallways of a new school starting out in grade ten. High school, a terrifying time for an introvert such as myself. I used to get high just to mask how scared and alone I actually felt. Plus the only friends I had when I started at this new school were stoners anyways. I fit in with them, since they were sort of outcasts like myself.

Not Taken Seriously
Periods... Every girl gets them eventually. For some, bleeding 3-5 days out of a month just passes by like any other day. Not for me. I got my period on the first day of seventh grade. I came home from school and just after I finished eating supper I went to the washroom. All day my stomach had been really bad, and I was light headed and nauseated. To my surprise when I was in the washroom I noticed some faint staining in my underwear and I realised what was happening.

Just Get Over It
"Just get over it" is a sentence that I hear a lot, more so in the past but people still say it from time to time. See, I have been in a constant battle with anxiety and depression my entire life, but it escalated when I had someone very close to me pass away. Even after telling people that I have anxiety and depression and explaining that I cannot just "get over it," they still do not seem to understand.
