Hypothalamus (a poem)

[photographyhoop]

When you want to scream but can’t,

So you just scream inside your head and cry,

Hearing the voices wake up and go about their day

When no matter how hard you try you just can’t,

Until you mellow into that state where your curled up,

Feeling nothing

When the sun is shining through your window,

But all it does is annoy you,

Getting brighter and brighter

When a simple task feels like hell,

When a website can send you down a spiral,

So you end up crying in a hallway

When you can’t get to sleep but can’t stay awake,

The thoughts running around,

Bringing you back in time

When your not happy but have to fake it,

The laughing and the smiling,

Tearing you down from inside

When it’s a continuous cycle,

Restarting everyday.

This brought tears to my eyes because this is exactly how I feel. I know I am not alone with these feelings now. Thank you

You are never alone :))

Yes, absolutely the truth. And what am I when someone asks, "How are you", and I say, "I'm fine"? Fortunately, I think everyone here understands.

I'm feeling every single word and despite everything it's comforting knowing that I'm not alone in this. Thank you, it's beautiful!

This resonates with me at every level but I came across it seemingly by accident while searching for issues related to Central Hypothyroidism, HPA and HPT and the Hypothalamus and wondered why you had called it the Hypothalamus. I'd be very iterested in any additional readings or insights you may have on the Hypothalamus. Many thanks in advance. Kind regards and very best wishes.
