The Feeling Is Real
By: Skinner J.Tyler
For many years now I have suffered from an illness known as depression. It is a horrible experience that I still suffer from today. I wake up throughout the night, from nightmares and strange dreams. There are days where I cannot eat or even get out of bed.
This illness has taken it’s toll and with the anxiety, it has been a ungodly experience. If anyone has suffered from this issue, they know exactly what I am talking about. There are many types of treatment but sometimes it feels as though this isn’t the best alternative. It’s been a rough experience.
After trying medication to help treat this illness, I’ve been trying to come off of it. This hasn’t been easy since I experience withdrawal symptoms that will leave me feeling sick and unwell. Tonight has been a horrible experience as I wake up feeling miserable and this is not me.
I was always a happy go lucky guy who worked hard and did what I had to, to get by. I don’t need a whole lot of money to live and I often enjoyed working. I enjoyed sailing the seas as a mariner and even got the chance to see the North Pole. My life’s been made up of great experiences but latly I have been lost.

I’ll get through it I’m sure but with struggle comes dealing with issues of what causes me to feel like this. It’s been a rough road but one I must walk on to get to the next point. The next step to getting better.
It is not always easy when battling a mental illness such as this one. I have been searching for a safe, organic approach, that would allow me to avoid using medication all together. This is easier said than done of course and requires a huge amount of effort. It can be dark at times and I feel as if I have been lost in the chaos.
