Your illness does not define you. It's your resolve to recover that does.
Unveiled
Disclaimer: Lilax Syndrome is fictional along with the characters. Veile Strauss, 32 and recently kicked out of her parents’ house due to her parents no longer being able to take care of her. Veile had a very rare form of psychosis called Lilax Syndrome, or a disorder in which the patient hallucinates both auditory and visually, has emotional breakdowns, mood swings, psychotic episodes, self harm streaks, suicidal tendencies, addiction disorder, crying spells, and a very special super power. Veile hadn’t wanted to live for years. When she was kicked from her parents’ home and moved to House of Hopes, the group home, she finally was able to do what she couldn’t do around her family—die. Suicide is what got her kicked out in the first place. Her parents were sick of her hurting herself under the same roof. Having said that, Veile tried and tried again for weeks, but it seemed like something was keeping her alive; like something wanted her here on earth. It’s like she was destined to be here and the other group home patients—very optimistic and happy they were, showed her that she is mightier than her restrictions, stronger than her illness, greater than her mind. The patients might just be on to something…

Mentally Optimistic
My mind has felt trapped inside a void lately, that i simply can not escape from. Why is it so difficult to snap back into reality? Why do i keep running back into the same old habits? I tend to find myself stuck throughout the day, just playing out fake scenarios. Running my fingers through my hair, that is what i spend a majority of my day doing lately. Being able to express myself on here means so much. As an individual, i have no issues spilling my inner deepest thoughts for so many strangers on here to read.

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, there are 20.2 million adults in the United States who suffer from substance use disorders. While it is important for individuals to get help, too few do, and those who do often suffer alone, owing to the stigma surrounding the condition. However, the consequences of addiction are not only harmful to the individual but also to society. Each year, there are 67,000 drug overdose deaths in the U.S. and alcohol claims more than 95,000 lives.

Demons and Oh How they Grow
The sun shines through the slits of my window like a dark pastel dream. Enticing me with its warm embrace and encouraging bravado that pulls hundreds of people up every morning. Drones and drones of walking bodies getting ready for their day. Lines and lines of cars slide down the roads one after the other. With the rest of the ants moving along in their own journey of the day. Fueling their dreary tasks with caffeine. What beautiful attention that shone on everyone except me. I’m told it’s not only me, that plenty of people feel the same. I can’t seem to find the feeling of empathy or sympathy. I just continue to lay here soaking in my self-pity and surly thoughts. With nothing to land my eyes on I close them hoping to fall asleep. I try to keep doing everything I can to make sure nothing bad happens.
