I seriously am going through the ringer right now. I don't know who I am anymore. I probably shouldn't have read The Mysterious Stranger, especially that final speech, it does not play nice with an unmedicated mind. Getting sent to a residential soon, going to stay for upwards of 4 months, I don't know if I'll be the same person when I get out, not out of anything traumatic happening while I am there, just off the basis that I am not the same person I was 3 months ago, and I wasn't the same person 2 months before that. I am constantly shifting, mood wise, I turn into completely different people at random. My psychiatrist thinks it is most likely schizoaffective bipolar type. This past week has been rough, I have lost all motivation to work on anything, been mostly laying in bed. Told my mom that the only thing that is keeping me alive anymore is the fact that I don't want to spend my final moments thinking about how much I'll fuck up her life with my leaving. I don't know what to do anymore, I am tired, I feel done, but that little ringing of empathy in the back of my mind keeps me from doing the act. Life is but a dream, that one phrase has been echoing in the back of my mind, no. 44, philip traum, satan is an interesting character, the book itself is interesting. It's eerie in the sense that I feel as if Satan represents Twain's disgruntled view towards religion and different aspects of humanity and in a way, is the ghost of Twain brought to life. The book almost feels haunted. I'm too tired to go into detail, but I feel that the final speech represents the death of Twain, even if that wasn't intended. I'm going to cut this short, life is becoming a blur of bad feelings again, and I'm not a big fan of that. So much for progress. Goodnight SDF, it's like 01:00 -may
