It's Different This Time

It’s far too early in the morning to be self-inflicting this kind of pain, but I grab my phone and open my mobile banking account.

What does a panic attack entail? Does it feel like not being able to breathe and wanting to shit your pants at the same time?

I’m aware I’m being difficult and yet I can’t stop.

As someone who’s the type to read multiple books simultaneously,

Having what most consider a healthy relationship with your parents feels fabricated, something that you would see only in a movie.
