About the Book

In December of 2018, I spent the holidays away from my family as a patient in a psychiatric ward. Just before Christmas, I had a collapse. This is a poetic narrative of an episode that was more like a re-run. Being reminiscent of an event I went through in college, I recognized when my own human frailty was in danger. This is a poetry collection collected from a mild breakdown. It is a vulnerable and largely unedited account of my experience, my neuroses, my treatment, my release, and my insights. When I wrote these poems I was going through many complex states of mind. When I decided to publish it, however, I did so as an act of courage for the sake of all the people I resided with and everyone who lives with mental illness. There is a stigma around mental health that is unfairly assigned to those who reveal that they are living with or have been treated for psychological or behavioral issues. At the time of my writing this book, my relationships were failing, as were my businesses. I was overreacting in severely unhealthy ways and musing over my own non-existence. I admitted myself into the hospital because I knew I had to break the patterns that were destroying the things I identified with. So often there is hesitation to get help because it is a social admission of craziness. It creates an announcement of guilt for a crime no more severe than poor vision or a sprained ankle. People deserve to be well, and it is unfair to some of the most at risk of our society to hide how they are feeling out of fear of being labeled insane, incapable, or a burden. Once to social pressures that reinforce these ideas are lifted, that's one less obstacle between suffering and relief. This book is particular to my personal experiences, however, I want it to act as a window that makes my thoughts and thoughts like them more accessible to the others as a whole. We all suffer. We all become sad. We all overreach. We all cave to bad inner voices from time to time. It's time to no longer punish or shame humans for going through the human experience.
