Spring Break Nervous Breakdown

Spring break was alright
Had lots of homework, so no break really
50hr a week management job
20 hour a week part time music teaching gig
And then came my nervous breakdown
Couldn't get out of bed for days
Couldn't sleep
Couldn't relax
Constant panic attacks
I don't know how much longer I can keep up with this
4 classes, 70 hour work weeks
I can't take it anymore
I'm losing it
But I have to keep my 4.0 GPA
I just have to
Being 31 and going back to school with no regrets
But it's definitely harder
I don't know what else to do
I guess I don't really have a choice

A Picture Is Worth 1,000 Souls (Experiment #1)

A Picture Is Worth 1,000 Souls It was Sunday when my friends called me up. Perfect weather, perfect day. Didn't matter to me, depression has no preference in climate. It sounded like they had already been drinking. Almost noon, good start. They've been trying to get me out of the house for months now, and today seemed like the day to battle my demons. Golf they said, how predictable. Not much of a sports guy, or a people person, but whatever let's golf. They pull up in Roger's '99 Porsche Carrera. I thought he had sold that piece of junk. George gets out of the passenger seat and folds it down for me to get in. "How's it going, cocksucker?", he says, douchey as usual. I don't respond. I get in to find Roger's girl in the backseat, Rachel Feinstein. My heart starts pounding as I slide in next to her. My knee touches hers and I quickly jerk it away. She simply cracks a smile and says, "Hi". I die. I simply can...

The Assassin and the Shadow Part II

The Assassin and the Shadow Part II The streets to the docks are slightly lit by the coming of dawn, with still enough shadow for Katherine and Kat to travel in comfort. The Eastside; Hyena territory. Not much to worry about, Hyenas are nothing but a bunch of loud drunken idiots, posing almost no threat. The only weapons they wield are their finished wine bottles. Katherine and Kat tread lightly in the dark surrounded by drunken laughs and fist fights. Katherine whispers, “Don't worry, Kat, they can't hear anything over their own rambunctiousness. Sorry excuses for human beings, how they continue to survive is beyond me. The city Jesters; perhaps they're just too entertaining for the wolves to kill off.” Kat appears unamused but stares at her new friend with glowing eyes, as if being spoken to by an angel. Katherine's endearing smile beams through her face mask. They begin to walk closer to the fighting tournament being held in the middle of the ...

The Fall Of Cornelia

The Fall Of Cornelia KINGDOM OF CORNELIA – DUSK Following a battle with the Red Dragon, the kingdom is in ruin, burned to ash. The four Warriors of Light are mourning the loss of their ally, Waldon the Master Black Wizard. The four warriors consist of Frederick the Knight, Fei the Monk, Lani the White Mage, and Waldon's younger brother, Riley the Black Mage. They are sitting amongst the embers of the flames recently extinguished by Blizzaga magic. Frederick breaks the silence. FREDERICK He gave his life to rescue ours … the last of his strength for a final meteor spell … and we left him behind. Silence. FEI It is what he wanted … his selfless actions, his love for others … for his brother … surpassed his love for himself. Fei looks over to Riley, who's back is turned to the group, and is far away in his thoughts. The ashes diminish slowly. The crackling embers seem to still be echoing screams of the fallen. Lani is in tear...
