“I’m here”, I said, and it felt shockingly comforting, those words. When I’m panicked, I say them aloud to myself. I’m here. I don’t usually feel that I am. I feel like a warm gust of wind could exhale my way and I’d be disappeared forever, not even a sliver of fingernail left behind. On some days, I find this thought calming; on others it chills me.

"He promised to take care of me, and yet I feel afraid.  I feel like something is going wrong, very wrong, and that it will get even worse. I don't feel like Nick's wife.  I don't feel like a person at all: I am something to be loaded and unloaded, like a sofa or a cuckoo clock.  I am something to be tossed into a junkyard, thrown into the river, if necessary.  I don't feel real anymore.  I feel like I could disappear."

From Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, paperback edition, page 102
