the feeling of dissociation

As someone who experiences dissociation, I wanted to illustrate how it felt to me. It often feels like everything I feel and experience is secondhand, like I’m living through this half-alive shell of a creature that isn’t me

I’ve been doing better lately, and mainly made this as a way to help me process things

Very weird feeling

To anyone else who experiences this, you’re not alone, you’re not a burden, and I’m happy you exist here with me

Avoidantly Attached: The Silent Struggle

I love you. I do. I'm just scared.

My eyes say "stay," but my heart's ensnared.

By shadows of a past that still whisper, "flee."

Your touch is a warmth I can't let be.

You call me your soulmate, but I can't take that now,

I need to heal, to cleanse, to figure out how.

To be the person you deserve, strong and whole,

Before we can truly join soul to soul.

Babe, I crave you, believe me, it's true,

But trauma's a wall that I've got to break through.

Flight mode's my default, my safety, my shield,

But for you, babe, I'm striving to heal.

Patience, my love, for the time that I need,

To untangle the chains of past sorrow and greed.

I'll run from our closeness, it's sad but it's true,

Yet know, in my heart, I'm running to you.

Cai Guo-Qiang — Untitled (gunpowder and oil on canvas, 1988)

[starry-eyes-love]

Starry Eyes

“You are enough. You’re alive. You’re free. You’re beautiful.”

She always feels like she's never enough & always too much. Chaos wound up tight, afraid to open up for fear of failing or falling. The child escaped torture while the woman learned to endure the pain and judgment of others. She’s a beautiful Art piece worthy of being placed on a wall. But she’s real, and she’s human. She finds her strength standing in this moment, her body tall and beautiful. It’s right here in nature that she finds her peace. She’s Starry Eyes, and she’s me, and Goddamn, she’s beautiful. 

(artwork created by CAImages on Instagram. An actual photo of me turned art piece. Very beautiful!)

So I sketched this art out on a sticky note weeks ago i originally wanted to paint it on canvas and still plan too but wanted to make a 1st attempt online....... I wish my realism with people was better tho... I wanted to turn the word "Bed Rot" into a more literal sense but you can only see the decay through the covers as the aspect of looking normal out of the covers expressing the idea that no matter how normal some one may look on the outside you never know what is going on in the inside... at least this is my redirection of it
