RawanMy fellow Lunatic, here’s a little message to you…
When you feel like you’re losing it; your mind, your skill, your goals, your any and everything you thought you had…
You’re not crazy. You’re just missing that part of you.
♦ 
When you wake up in a panic for what seems like no reason at all…
You’re not crazy. You’re just processing.
♦ 
When just about all of your friends have turned into cyber associates…or plants…
You’re not crazy. You’re just lonely.
♦ 
When you communicate to people not by conversation but through an alias, or a blog, or a painting or by an anything else but a face to face encounter…
You’re not crazy. You’re just creative.
♦ 
When people think you’ve given up on that profession, that skill you used to master…
You’re not crazy. You’re just adjusting.
♦ 
When you want to scream out because you’re stuck in this mess…
You’re not crazy. You’re just tired of it.
♦ 
When you don’t remember what it feels like to laugh so hard til you cry…
You’re not crazy. You’re just stoic.
♦ 
When the pain makes you lash out yet frozen in place at the same time…
You’re not crazy. You’re just feeling the hurt.
♦ 
When a new symptom sends you over the edge…
You’re not crazy. You’re just confused.
♦ 
When a flashback sends you into a shiver…
You’re not crazy. You’re just remembering it
♦ 
When you lie on an almost daily basis at the question of “how are you?”…
You’re not crazy. You’re just sparing them the details.
♦ 
When you fall apart at the realization that you have no idea what is happening to you, why its happening, or when it will stop happening…
You’re not crazy. You’re just scared.
♦ 
When you break once you figure out that it may not stop happening…
You’re not crazy. You’re just facing reality.
♦ 
When a jerk comes along and tells you you’re crazy…
You’re not crazy. You’re just going through something.

Who am I kidding…maybe we’re all a little crazy.
