The World You Control

"It's like we talked about. You control this world. Let the pain go, let the hurt go, let the guilt go. What you're imagining right now, that world you control. That place can be as real as any pain."
-Dr. Vera Gorski, Sucker Punch.
The World You Control is a blog by Lizz Matthews, who studies psychology- dealing with depression, anxiety, and addiction to self-mutilation.

The Middle


Hey guys! Sorry it's been a while... Tech week, GISHWHES, starting another show... wow. So today I'm actually going to talk about self-harm. I just read a book called Cut by Patricia McCormick, which one of my friends told me to read a few months before I left Southern. This book.. just..
wow.
In this book you follow Callie, a quiet girl sent to a mental facility due to cutting. She stays silent for most of the book and I know the exact feeling. Callie is me from about 2 years ago. It's crazy.
Today I am sporting a self-harm awareness necklace, an anchor for the anchor project, and a "Survivor" bracelet which I have decided not to take off. I am doing this because last night I cut. Not because I wanted attention, or missed my scars... I was feeling emotionless. Cutting gives me emotion. I guess it's the chemical it releases. It was at night, when I usually cut, and when my medicine usually wares off. When the only thing really keeping me okay is the thought that I can sleep without Melatonin.
But I can't.
Meaning that I will stay emotionless until 8 in the morning cutting and cutting waiting for something good to happen. Last night I thought to myself I wasn't going to wake up the next day. I just had a feeling, I guess. The feeling that death was coming in a matter of minutes. I wrote some stuff. It sucks though. In Simplicity, my autobiography, I have noticed you don't really learn about my personality so much as that I have depression. I'm writing another movie, where I can express my personality through who I want to be. A strong, independent, attractive, awesome chick who happens to die, but dies a hero.
Yep.
Soo.. I guess this was just kind of about everything...?
I dunno.

Love you Chiquita.

See you on the flip side, Batman.
