Emma Forrest said this quote

“ I say, Well then I don't know if it was real, and that makes me feel like I'm going insane again.Absolutely it was real. It was a real, partial picture. Because it ended preemptively, things you would have learned about him in the relationship, you are instead learning in the breakup. You have learned that he has a desperate desire for intimacy and then a desperate desire for the cave. He will get lonely there eventually and come back.To me?He doesn't pause. To someone new.And I'll have to watch another girl?You will have to, but you will also know what lies ahead for that poor girl. ”

When you live with voices in your head, you are drawn inextricably to voices outside your head. Very often the voices work to confirm your worst suspicions. Or think of things you could never have imagined! There are only so many hours of the day to hate yourself.

If killing yourself is not an option anymore, you have to sink into the darkness instead, and make something out of it.

~ Emma Forrest

I never lie ― I am a blatantly truthful person about almost everything. My addiction (or disease as some call it) always lies. I have had very good relationships, but the addict in me always fucked them up. I fall in love quickly, it's a high that rivals drugs for a while. I am monogamous, but I always cheated with depression before the relationship fell apart. Addicts need best friends, healthy people need healthy relationships.
