My name is Mark. I guess i’m what you would call, a junkie. I seem to be a pretty normal person. I have two jobs, the whole college thing did not work out for me. I find it somewhat amusing that all my friends and family see the person that they see. I like to think of myself as a person who is on permanent auto pilot. My body just kinda does its thing, i say and do things that i dont really mean without even thinking about it. People think im a pretty normal guy. Ive had relationships. I dont think im a worthless person. But what these people dont know is that I am whatcha call a heroin addict. I havnt smoked the black in almost a year now, but every day i still struggle with it. Anyway I tried to overdose once, and call me crazy but i think i died that day. I got this strong feeling of pleasure, so great that i forgot about everything in my life, and then…i started to panic, i wanted to die, but i guess it was just the body natural resopnse. shortly after, there was nothing. not taste touch smell sound sight. not a single thought in my head. In fact, there wasnt a me anymore. just gone…then there was sound, sound of my associate Charlie yelling at me to breathe. I was in a hospital, and my breathing had stopped and so did my heart. It is odd that i am still alive now….odd..not happy. I was sure that I was to be a dead man. The messed up part is, I’m sober now, and sometimes i still want to end my life. The real world sickens me. But i’m not really sure why. Things are so bright outside it hurts my eyes, and I find all of the happy people with nice lives to be so annoying. People are so blind to the real world. I sometimes think that Im the normal one and everyone else is in idiot Junkie. But that would be to perfect for me. I dont think I am better than anyone, I just think that everyone can see the same things I do. Sometimes i want to start up again. But in order to fool these people into thinking im okay I have to stay clean. I feel afraid often. Cause I feel as though im planning something. But i’m not quite sure what it is. But the thought of taking my own life still seems like a good idea. I don’t know..Whatever

Ive never touched heroin but ive done a shit load of other things, ive oded once and tried to take my life once too. Okay so i cant be sure i actually can relate to you but i think i understand what you mean. Like its only once youve gone to the brink that you finally see the world with its veneer off, noones else can see it so they just carry on with their trivial, oblivious lives and youre left there feeling separate from the crowd. Personally ill never commit suicide again, ive seen too much suffering to just desert everyone now but if you want to talk just send me an email, im lauriejohnson1@ hotmail.co.uk
You dont have to talk about you dont want to and trust me im not gonna judge you over anything
If these are too much for you, make your life happy, too.
It’s sad that happiness is considered a shame, or a kind of stupidity. Though I admit that it’s annoying to see everyone else happy but you.
And I prefer being blind, otherwise blackness makes me unconscious.
Actually, one can create gorgeous things based on sadness or strain.
