Tough times in the realms of my brain. Therapy leaves me so bruised these days that I feel like crying (instead I went and got a matcha latte because that seemed a grown-up response that was less heinous than drinking until everything stops happening, which is what I wanted and still want to do).
Hopefully a week full of seeing people and doing things will stop me feeling like a big hollow smudge of grey, although at this precise moment the idea of moving is hideous, the idea of sleeping is horrifying, and I'm not sure what it is precisely that will help (drinking). I have some final preparations (too many) to make before bookmageddon begins (I am not prepared); everything is very loud.

Here are a sampling:
