Anyone interested in sharing their experience? Things that have worked, things that haven’t, how you got diagnosed etc.

Just gauging interest. Not sure if this is already a thing or not.

You have never been afraid to sleep

Wondering what terrors your night will keep

The ripping, tearing, pain that waits

Makes us rock, hit, and pace

You have never been afraid to rest

Knowing shut eyes will start the test

The burning plunge of hot fire

Wraps our eye in searing barbed wire

You have never been afraid to dream

Drifting away isn’t all that it seems 

The interruption of needed peace

Our stabbing pain that just won’t cease

You have never been afraid to sleep

But yet the “normal” is yours to keep

The cycle ends like it was never here

Leaving scars we can’t see in the mirror

You have never been afraid to rest

Slowly breaking what was once your best

The destructive path left within our minds

Changes us in ways of different kinds

You have never been afraid to dream

Of painfree days floating down a stream

Rest is a word that exists only in fiction

Even when the cycle ends it’s met with friction

You have never been afraid to sleep, dream, or rest 

But still I give it my very best 

You’ll never feel the pain that waits

Watching through the gaps in hell’s gates
