2nd attempt at lyrics (different style).


-------

through this cloak i know as time
to nameless places I call my home
isolation became an ally - neverending friendship
through mystical dark places in mind
whereto my own shadow's reflection is lost
amidst a penumbra of seething loss and ravaged memory
somethings are better left out of consciousness
'neath seas of anguishing terror lost
- forgotten pasts and myths
an intelligence forgotten struggles to possess my ...

Although I haven't visited my doctor yet (I'm going to soon), I'm pretty certain that I have OCD. I know the rituals are characteristic of OCD, but I was wondering about something else that really bothers me:

I have an absolute obsession with "newness." When something of mine loses its perfection, I get really upset.

For example, I got a new car in March. Unfortunately, I don't like to drive it, because I'm afraid the ...

It's been a while, I had to take a sojourning to find focus (or the opposite).

Well, somewhat of a push for cyber lyrics (my first try).

I know not whether i'm living in a dream or it's my mind playing games on me

My birth into this world was a mistake or so it seems, things are not what they seem to be

Colour loses meaning as it whetts out my kinship with ...

Is there a name for it when you have a sort of fantasy that is almost delusional? One that is recurrent and grandiose.

Or is it just a fantasy?

Is squeezing blackheads and blemishes, and picking at them to the point of delaying the healing process considered self harm? How about tearing and picking at fingernails and hangnails? Just wondering. I've always done these things.

I started doing it as a threat to someone I know to make him do something I wanted him to do but now the more the weeks go by I'm doing it for no reason, other than I'm in the mood to and that I like the sight of the scars.

I started doing it with a steak knife and have moved onto blades ( a lot sharper than I thought but I don't seem ...

Happy day. I finally found a literature that speaks to me. i've been in and out of therapy for 27 years and finally have found what is "wrong" with me. After two hospitalizations and probably 10 - 15 therapists over the last 27 years, I finally encountered a therapist who openly diagnosed me as BPD. Why don't they tell us sooner?

I've been reading everything I can get my hands on, especially Masterson whom I ...

Ok, so this is new to me, if I ramble I appologize I unfortunately have been isolated for so long and dont have many ppl to talk to....

I'm 29 I have been married to my husband for 8 years, we have 3 kids and one due in Jan... I figured our kids would change him, but he treats them just as bad as he does me... I cant even begin to explain what my ...

I have a brother who has BPD, He was diagnosed with it and now acts like he never was told about it.
He has alway had a fetish of having to buy or apear to have the best of what ever it was he had. He would rather not have something than apear not to have the best. I.E. 60$ aftershave,50$ shirts,75$ whiskey,1800$ tv. When more inexpensive would do.
He has hooked up with a ...

I'm very worried about being Narcissistic right now, and downright terrified of NPD.

I admit that I'm a very self-centered person (I count my "I's" in even writing this message, making sure not to use too many). Basically, what worries/annoys me most is my creativity. I've always considered myself very creative. It gets me by. Writing mostly. But also drawing, guitar, etc. Without it, its like my life is empty.

But there's this almost nagging ...
