Siden sist

Det har vært stille fra meg på en stund. De som har lest her inne før vet det jo, men jeg er biplar type 1: Den heftigste greia, og det har innebåret at jeg i mine maniske moments driter meg komplett og fullstendig ut- spesielt på sosiale medier. Jeg har stått i det i 7 år, men etter den siste fiaskoen min med gale tanker, tvangsparagraf og en hel del hendelser jeg skulle vært foruten, så klarte jeg ikke mer sosiale medier på en lang stund. Jeg fikk en skikkelig selvtillitskrise og slettet mesteparten av innleggene mine her inne. Det er ikke kult når hjernen din går berserk og du legger mye ut som er så flaut at det nesten ikke er til å leve med, og det er spesielt lite kult når folk som har et horn i siden til deg får det med seg. Plutselig fikk jeg et sterkt behov for å være mindre synlig, mer privat, litt mer skjermet.

 

Men jeg har savnet å skrive, da. Selv om ordene ikke er helt samarbeidsvillige lenger og jeg har hatt et seriøst tilfelle av skrivesperre. I tillegg har jeg skikkelig eksistensiell.. ikke nødvendigvis angst, mer som et eksistensielt press, om det gir mening. I slutten av desember fyller jeg 34, og det føles så jævla ufortjent. Skal jeg bli 34, jeg som ikke har noen voksenpoeng på plass utenom at jeg betaler regninger og bor alene. Det er så rart hvordan det å bli eldre kan fucke litt med hodet ditt, men det gjør i hvertfall det med meg. Jeg vet at jeg har vært voksen i mange år nå, men nå er jeg faktisk sånn skikkelig voksen- på papiret i det minste. Og inni meg er jeg fortsatt en usikker fjortis som ikke har noe særlig livserfaring å skilte til, ikke billappen, ikke noe utdanning, ikke partner, kids, har ikke en gang et kjæledyr.

 

Jeg føler at jeg krymper inn og har mindre personlighet enn før, føler ting mindre intenst enn før, og  at jeg helt desperat trenger en mening for å være her i livet. Trenger sårt noe som gir meg energi, motivasjon, drive. En retning, et mål, et spark i ræva mot riktig retning hadde vært supert. Jeg finner det ikke, skjønner du. Hva som gjør det vonde, det triste, det stygge verdt å holde ut for.

 

Men det har vært en relativt fin høst, jeg har tatt balletak på angsten og klarer nå å ta kollektiv transport UTEN nevneverdig angst i det hele tatt. PROGRESS! Har også tatt et kurs ved Jærem recovery college i Sandnes (anbefales) så i høst har jeg rett og slett vært student. OG jeg har fått et nytt sosialnettverk, etter alle årene med enten galskap eller dyp depresjon så er det mange som har sagt HASTA LA VISTA, crazy bitch. og det må jeg jo nesten bare vise forståelse for, selv om det er trist og vondt.

 

Desember er min absolutt mest kritiske måned når det kommer til å få et nytt manisk utbrudd, but so far, so good. Håper så inderlig at jeg får feire jul sammen med familien, to år siden sist.. Men det som skjer, skjer. åper bare det kommer noen varselstegn, så jeg skjønner hva som er i ferde og at jeg får til en kontrollert innleggelse der jeg klarer å være ansvarlig syk. Greia med bipolaren min er i hvertfall at i den spede starten har jeg sykdomsinnsikt, men så eskalerer ting ekstremt fort og vips, så er den innsikten blåst avgårde og blir ikke å se igjen før jeg er ute av det.

 

Så ja, jeg og mine nærmeste lever nok litt på nåler nå. Men nå kjenner jeg stort sett gjengen inne på psyk, og helt ærlig- om jeg må feire jul der inne skal det gå greit. Det er noen seriøst gode sjeler, så jeg er i gode hender. Men åh, familiejul altså, ingenting slår det.. Wish me luck!

 

Trashtalking myself

Living in a bubble I can’t burst

I don’t know, what’s the deal

Is it bad luck or am I straight up cursed

Psychotic mess turned psycopath

Numb and cold, dealing with the aftermath

Feeling more like a machine than a human these days

Oh, I want to be so much more than this..

But I’m stuck in my old wicked ways

 

Does it even matter who or what broke me first

I don’t think I was ever quite right

 

I’m so ashamed

How I turned this ugly truth into a beautiful lie

How I sorta brainwashed myself into madness

I couldn’t handle it, I guess

It was this one thing that didn’t make me wanna die

 

But forgive me, now I do

I’ve fought so hard, but these walls won’t shake

Instead, it’s my own bones I break

in every damn bloody attempt to get a breakthrough

 

And now I tell you I’m sorry

for pulling you into this web i spun

Inside this damn dark head

I do feel bad..

To be frank, the only thing I could not fuck up

is probably if I were dead

So next time you see me, bring your gun

Pull the damn trigger, paint the wall with my useless brain

Then you can spit on my grave while you pop the champagne

 

Nothing about me is good or pure

Toxic and destructive; in blood, flesh, mind and soul

Is there even a cure?

And my brain, this damn nuclear bomb..

I just can’t control!

 

I’m so tired of this

All these endless nights, when I can’t sleep

and I can’t shut up in my head

And you are probably in someone else’s bed

I fucked up, what else is new

Know so damn well what I’ve put you through

I just wish I could call and ask how you do

Maybe I’d even admit to the fact that

I’m so damn lonely without you

 

You don’t care, I know

Always reaping the rotten fruit that I sow

Keeping myself on my toes

Endure all these bloody woes

I’m the worst person I’ve ever met

Isn’t strange how all my friends turn to foes

I am the one thing they all regret

 

Maybe it’s karma, maybe it’s just fate

I have to handle myself (even though I’m more than I can take)

And these walls, they won’t shake

These walls, these walls..

It’s all I know

Bang my head against these fucking walls

Inside this bubble, I can’t burst..

Does it even matter, who or what broke me first

I was never quite right

 

 

The demon I want, not the angel I need

Tell me what you want

You make it very hard for me

Tell me what you need

You make me crazy, but I keep coming back

What does it take

To change fate

Maybe I can create a world within my mind

where you can rely on me

 

Anything you want

I’d give it to ya

Anything you ever wished for

I’d make it come true

I just can’t escape

I keep coming back for you

Even if you don’t want me to

 

If we could co-exist

You know I got you on my mind, got you on my mind

You’ve been on my wish-list

I’d do anything if it ment you’d spend five minutes with me

But I can’t be like this

So I take my mind off my mind

Because I keep doing you dirty in my dreams

And it ain’t as easy as it seems

You’re the demon I want

Not the angel I need

But it’s ok ‘cuz..

 

Anything you want

Anything you need

I’d give it to ya

Yeah I’d give it to ya

Maybe that’s why I have to go

and never look back

‘Cuz courage is a thing you seem to lack

And my self respect needs redemption

I swallowed my pride going face to face with you

 

But if you want

If you still have dreams

I’d make them come true

Make them come true

Life is a game, I suppose

And I can’t seem to get over you

Can’t seem to get over you, no

 

So watch my ass as I go

I can’t stay in the same atmosphere as you

It has my mind going bonkers

and I need to stay sane just this one last time

So maybe just maybe

I can see you around and the next time we’ll meet

I can tell you I’m fine

I’m fine..

 

I’m just black and blue

Broken and bruised

Because it takes its toll

To desire a demon like you

 

 

Brente bruer

Me starta ikkje på likefot

Eg huska ingenting

Eg mistenke at du huska alt

Hjertet mitt blødde for deg

Nå e det kaldt

 

Brente bruer

Eg brenne alle bruer

Det finnes ingen vei tebage nå

Det får gå som det går

Så lenge integriteten min består

Så lenge sjølrespekten min består

Så kan eg holda ut at eg har kasta bort

Så mange meiningslause år

 

Du smile så lurt når eg ser deg

Eg hate det smilet intenst

Det gjør fortsatt vondt å se deg gå vekk fra meg

Lenge tenkte eg ka ska eg jørr på imens

Eg vente ikkje lenger

Eg klare meg sjøl

Skjeletettet mitt må ver lagt av metall-stenger

Eg tåle jo tydeligvis alt

Men håpet eg hadde

det har omsider forfalt

 

Brente bruer

Eg brenne alle bruer

Det finnes ingen vei tebage nå

Det får gå som det går

Så lenge håpet består

at kanskje livet kan løysa seg litt

At kanskje 2021 omsider blir mitt år

 

Eg ska jobba for det

Det einastfe eg ønske meg

Det e sjelefred

Battlefield brain

Careful what you speak

Someone is paying REALLY close attention

That is not your friend, this is not your brother. That’s not your lover and you have no mother.


Look into the mirror

See how your smile is just like a wound?

Who’s that behind you

Don’t turn around too soon

 

There’s a demon look in your eyes

And you scream «SHUT UP»

It doesn’t matter what they say

YOU know it’s all lies

 

I’m not crazy!

I’m NOT crazy

I’m not..

 

Be careful what you think

Before you turn it into action

Can you trust your bloody head?

Have you lost control yet?

Or are you ready to be tied to the bed

You seem to be on the brink

Maybe you should JUMP

Your ship is about to sink

 

They whisper worried behind your back

Someone is making a call

You got everyone concerned

Thinking you should go to the hospital

It’s time to RUN

 

I’m not crazy

I’m NOT crazy!

Am I crazy??

 

Don’t think so damn loud

Someone is listening to every word you say

Dark wings are spreading over the city

Snakes are crawling in the street

Soon the dead will rise to their feet

And you have no where to run

No place is safe..

Your paranoia is full

Hell has been unleashed inside your skull

 

Is every face familiar?

Have you been here before?

Whatever you do

Do NOT let them lock that door

Your heart is beating way too fast

Your sanity, it can not last

Slipping, drifting, snapping nerves

Can no longer seperate present from past

 

I’m crazy, am I

Am I good or bad

I’ve lost myself

And I was all I had

 

There is a terrorist living in my head

Makes me wish I was dead..

There is a warzone in my mind

It’s bloody dirty business-

I am fucking insane

It’s battlefield brain

*screams*

It’s battlefield brain.

 

Gun to my fucking head

 

You don’t have to forgive

You can deprive yourself of life as punishment

Kill your treacherous mind and flawed body

You can do it

It’s a choice

Some people say

It’s an easy choice

Guess they’ve never actually tried

Believe me

Feeling this desperate is not pleasant

Or easy

If it was

I would have been dead

A long time ago

 

There’s no answers to my problems

No hope left in my bones

I’m so alone in the darkness

No place feels like home

I’m terrified

For this life

I have no dreams

Only nightmares haunt my sleep

And I can’t be released

 

Why am I still here

Pain is all I feel

Nobody can help

I can not save myself

There is no cure

Heaven is a lie

but hell is all too real

I am done

I can take no more

Tell me what to do

Where to go

From here

 

There is no answers

Life is a complicated game

So I go insane

It doesn’t help but I can’t help it

Guess it doesn’t matter

I was born to fail

I was destined to fuck up

Sunny, now you shut up!

Get up!

Get up n keep moving

For me, I’ll keep proving

I am worthy?

Am I?

Am I??!

It’s do or die

Do or die

So I live

I live, I live, I die!

Broken strings

If you can hear me now

(I know you can’t but I keep talking)

Wherever you are

I am asking you just this one thing

Be my leading star

I am so deeply wounded but I keep walking

But I fear I’m lost

I’m scared and I need direction

Or just a hand to hold

 

Can you reach me from the dead

If I picture you in my head

But I can’t recall your voice..

I can’t speak the words you used

To soothe me when my nerves got raw

I fear them snapping

It’s always happening

I can’t control my madness

And I can’t escape the feeling of sadness

It’s always there, deep in my heart

Sometimes I think it’s been there since the start

It’s so familiar, this pain

Maybe that’s why I sometimes have to go insane

I can’t carry this darkness

And I don’t know how to let it go..

 

If you can hear me!

Reach me from the other side

Give me a sign

I get so lonely in this world without you

No one understands me like you did

No one can take me for all the ugly things that I am

I need you to keep on loving me

Because I don’t know if I can

I don’t know if I can..

I am so fucking complicated,

I am more complex than I can understand..

 

If you can hear me now

(I know you can’t but I keep talking)

Wherever you are

I am asking you just this one thing

Be my leading star

I am so deeply wounded but I keep walking

But I fear I’m lost

I’m scared and I need direction..

 

You can’t hear me

I know I’m asking too much

I know I am all alone in this darkness

I know there’s no way to get in touch

You sleep forever where I buried you

Safe in death, and one day I’ll be too

But I’ll keep walking

It’s what you’d want me to do

And if you could, you would

I know…

I just miss you so

I miss you so

 

It’s a hard job, being human

I know I can do better

I know I can get further than this

I just don’t always know what moves to make

And I have this feeling I can not shake

What is it going to take

I’ve given my all before and I ended up with nothing

But I will keep trying

 

It’s a hard job, being human

But I try

I fail

and I get up and try again

 

I know you think I’m a loser

I know you can’t see the scars

You weren’t there all those times when life got brutal

You don’t know how many times I’ve tried, but it was futile

And I don’t need you to cheer me on

Or even to believe in me

I have a fire burning somewhere deep inside

It’s me never giving up on myself that is keeping me alive 

 

It’s a hard job, being human

But I try

I fail

and I get up and try again

 

The last words I’ll waste on you

Tell me what is on your agenda

Is it lust or hate when your eyes go black

I said “I love you”

Now I’m taking it back

I have been so fucking brave for you

But courage is a thing you lack

And not a single word you’ve spoken was true

Yet after all the shit you’ve put me through

I was still dumb enough to be nice to you

And there was this part of me defending your actions

But why should I defend someone who left me in chains

You say I can trust you, but you’re not who you claim

The things I’ve done for you, now I see you’d never do the same

I am no longer playing a part in your fucked up game

Whatever it is you want from me, you’re not gonna get

And maybe I did love you, but you lost my respect

So I’m just walking out the door

Leaving you behind

Maybe you just don’t get it but

damn it you raped my bloody mind

I could never look at you and smile again

Who needs an enemy who’s disguised as a friend

A devil with a fucking halo

Or just an angel with a rotten heart

Don’t look my way again, you’ve played your part

In this broken, bloody history of mine

Don’t come for me when I’m down

If you are my saviour I’d rather drown

Don’t act like my hero

From now I’ll be my own

 

From now I’ll be my own.

 

 

 

 

 

Break these chains

Listen

How many times are you gonna whip your skin

and look within for the original sin

Your search for answers only lead to madness

Stop repeating the fucking pattern

It’s time for new thoughts

It’s time for action

You live, live harder!

And if you’re gonna do all this thinking,

it’s about time you think smarter!

 

You can, you will, you must

When all is said and done, you only got yourself to trust

Life sometimes hurts, make it worth the cost

It’s time to take back everything you’ve lost

You can!

And you will!

It’s time to be your own damn hero,

you gotta save yourself girl

 

Listen

Your heart is bruised, but it’s still beating

You gotta deal with the pain, there’s no cheating

But you can let yourself evolve from it

Push through the dark times, just don’t quit

Break these chains

Rebuild yourself, you can and will get better

Life’s gonna smack you in the face again eventually,

it’s just the way it is 

So make it worth it,

find a way to benefit from this!

 

You can!

And you will!

It’s time to be your own damn hero,

you gotta save yourself girl

Gotta break these chains

and find your place in this world
