Situations bring me to a place in which i can't express myself and When i reach that point I have a brief (quiet and alone) meltdown. It happens way too often to be the blues. Little tiny things do it too. My mom asked me to play her a full song all the way through (i've been playing for years, yet she claims she's never heard a full song) and i just couldn't. For whatever reason I couldn't. She suggested i stop receiving lessons. It just made me feel like all of a sudden my hobby has requirements, and how much that twists me up. I try to explain this but an argument insues every single time. I go back to my room and meltdown after trying to say what's on my mind for 30 minutes. Then when i see pictures of myself smiling, i don't recognize the person as me. It's like i'm suffocating without a bag on my head. That's what it feels like.

I act too. I just wish I could channel my feelings into my life instead of my art. rainey Posted at 8:53 pm on Nov. 29, 2008 Every one has moments where they just simply can't express themselves.

Little things just set me off into depression. I'm pretty sure it's not bipolar disorder though, that isn't set off by anything, it just happens. wetandpurring Posted at 8:49 pm on Nov. 29, 2008 I've felt that way before. that could ensue something like that for sure tho, that's hurtful.
