Once, Twice

Once again, I slowly fall into my mental health's traps

Once, Twice
Viktoriya Kozlovska (Best friend)

I have been through this once.

Now I am going through this again.

I slowly feel myself falling into my old habits.

I isolate.

I sleep for almost the whole day.

I miss classes.

I miss assignments.

I eat once a day, barely anything.

I laugh nervously.

I avoid, once again.

I cry in my room.

I cannot think straight, this post might be garbage by the way.

Once again, I feel lost, confused.

I have people surrounding me yet I feel like I am alone in this world.

The light, the daylight, they seem to burn my eyes.

Therefore I feel like closing them just makes me feel safer.

"I am here for you," "You are not alone," You are strong."

I hear this but I don't analyze it, I just say "okay."

In reality, that doesn't matter to me anymore.

It just doesn't.

Any advice I get, I cancel out.

Not because I don't wan to hear it but because it's difficult.

I wish words meant something.

As this depression gnaws at me and grows every day, I become less of myself.

Once again, the numbness creeps in.

So funny how much things do not change in a year no matter how hard I try.

Yup, it has been a year.

If it weren't for my anxiety, I would be out of this world.

I am in between those two.

Anxiety on my right and depression on my left.

My head in the middle.

I give up.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
