*General Trigger Warning*

things are so hard

it's all too much

so much

realizing how much we mimic, how much we haven't actually connected with, how much we don't actually understand, we just do because we know it's the thing to do from learning

i know everyone learns via mimicking and copying. but there comes a point where they actually learn it for themselves, connections are made, understanding is reached.

with us so much is just mimic. mimic and copy. don't understand it. no connection formed. just learning what to mimic and copy. and that's it.

so much

so many

words not coming out like they used to

words not being found as easily

things being overhwleming when they didn't used to be

so much to be processed

so much going on all the time all the time never ending never never never sounds lights things movement so much to take it input input input

so much to process

too much to process

feeling like brain is breaking

feel like something is broken but i don't know what it is and i don't know how to fix it

heard that before, not from me, not, from cassandra, i sound like cassandra

realizing how much we may be similar to shay realizing more than we thought would be there

so much

too much

go blank. go blank. go blank. go blank.

just take in and process. don't think. go blank.


wait. wait wait wait wait.

wanted to post this. remember now. wanted to. never did. who wrote it? think cassandra. yes. she woke up one morning and this is what she heard inside:

"(voice #1) i'm hurt and i'm small and i'm scared

i'm hurt and i'm small and i'm scared

(voice #2) no! where are you going?? space between people... growing space... what are you doing?? what are you thinking?? what are you feeling?? what is going on in your life?? have to know, must know, must must must. if i don't know them, they won't want to know me, and they won't care about me. must know. must be up-to-date. have to know. have to have to have to. otherwise then out of the loop. don't know what's going on. can't not know what's going on. have to know!!

(voice #1) i'm scared

i want yellow

i like yellow

yellow is nice

i'm hurt and i'm scared

no no no shhh shhh shhh

don't say too much.

saying too much is bad

don't be bad

be good

shh shh shh

quiet

must be quiet

shh shh shh

(voice #3) blank. blank. blank. blank. ________. _________. _________.

(voice #4) must be pretty, want to be pretty, have to be pretty, pretty pretty pretty!

(voice #3) blank. blank. blank. blank.

(hear other muffled voices in background, can't make out what they're saying)

(voice #3) blank. blank. blank. blank. blank. blank."

-written/recorded by cassandra, shared here by me





see thinsg in the dark. sacry things. see things when awake still sometimes. see see see feel feel feel. dream dream dream.


so much

too much

hear the rain. see the window. see the blinds. see the sahdows. see the tv. hear the clikc click clikc of computer keys. see the laptop light. see the laptop. see the words typing. see the hands. the veins. the wrinkles of knuckles. see the keys. the way light reflects. see the details so many details. see the carpet. the shoes. the clothes. see the folds in the cltohes. so much stuff. so many colors. see the colors. see the shadows. hear the rain still. hear the differences. the variations of the sounds. see the stuffed animals. friends, friends. see the dresser. see the tv. see the light relfecting. see the shadows, so many different shadows. see see see. hear the door open. roommates home. hear the voices the steps the rain the door the talking the movement hear hear hear. see see see. input input input input input input input input input input.

so much being processed

so much

too much

input input input input input input

too much

just take in

stop thinking

go blank

just sit

take in input


felt so normal

so much like how we used to be

for short time

knew wouldn't last forever

didn't want to be this short

oh well

I'm sorry you're struggling.

You seem hyperaroused and tired. Is there anywhere you can go and be where there is no/little input? Like a room where you can sit and turn off everything that makes a sound and light?

Thinking if you.

Hey sweet. It's going to be ok. I'm sorry you're struggling right now. Take one step at a time. All this information one by one. Try to find a quiet safe place where is less input and try to get some sleep. And breathe. Count and breathe. It's not going to last forever.

It will be okay, Cassie. We're sorry you're going through such a tough time, we really are. :(
perhaps at some point you can just wrap yourself up in a blanket, turn the lights off, and do some relaxation exercises?
It will be okay, dear. Safe hugs and warm thoughts to you.

It'll be okay. just take it easy and maybe get a night light so it's not too dark, but the light isn't too bright. You sound like you just need some rest. you'll be okay. I promise.

there's only so much rest
one can get

only so much

rest isn't helping

still there

so much input

so much all the time

see see see hear hear hear touch touch touch input input input process process process

it doesn't feel like it's part of whatever was going on before

it doesn't feel like a process or a phase or anything

and rest isn't helping

nothing is helping

always there just input input input input

always there

just like shay was always there as a radio

now we're aware she's (almost) always there as herself

aware aware aware of so much

know know know so much

feel so much

share so much

why why why so much share

coconsciousness to new level

but all the time

all the time

why why why

input input input input input

remember

remember it used to kinda be like this sometimes when the body was younger

but not this much

not all the time and not this much

input input input input input input input

so much so much so much so much

hard express

hard find words

hate hate hate hate hate

what used to be so easy becoming hard

falling apart

hate hate hate hate hate

why why why why

Just like junior year of high school. Everything's falling apart. Only not as rapidly. Not as instantly. Slow descent. But not into madness. That's something else that's still also going on according to Cassie. This is a descent into dysfunction. Into not being able to function as well. Or at least not show or express the functioning that's going on well.

Some of us still have distance. Cassandra. Apparently myself. Most likely others that were not around much in childhood. Because they already have separation from Shay, at least more than those like Cassie or Blank would have, since they were around in childhood more. As for Cassandra, she's the face of normality. She was built to block things out, not be as co-conscious in the sense of sharing feelings and input processes and such. Of course she's seeming to be the least affected by this awakening of a new level of awareness, new level of constant co-consciousness with the one that is almost always there, just usually in the background- Shay.

Seems to be one thing after another.
First it was Cassie alone, to have things develop, to have her inner world develop. Why, who knows, all I know is that changes and developments were happening that couldn't happen if we were all there still.
Then Cassidy started trying to "close the eyes" and such, and that's still going on, and the first thing hasn't even been resolved yet.
And now we have this, on top of the already two unresolved things we have going on, now we have this new level of awareness and co-consciousness and sharing going on.
What next?
When will stuff start getting resolved?
How much more is going to be added on to our plate and do we have the room?

Shay's thoughts:
"I know I'm different from the others. But not that different. They still have input like I do sometimes. Their's just isn't as much and not as constant. They learned to mimic and act better than I did. They learned how to adjust better than I did. They are able to adjust and mimic and act better than I can. What they have actually learned, they were able to learn better and easier than I could/can. That is ok. That is the point of dissociating and adjusting for survival. But now everything that I'm used to, that's normal for me, is being shared with others that are out and I don't know why. I hear guesses of it being because they're becoming more aware of how I'm almost always there and becoming more aware of being co-conscious with me and being more co-conscious with me in general. But I don't know why now. There's already so much going on. Not- there's- so- I- don't- WORDS I HATE YOU! BRAIN I HATE YOU! Hard. Too hard. Too hard to find words. To think. To express. So hard. Hate that it's hard!"
