Guilt-Personal Narrative

Decent Essays
I was destroying myself
In the process of it all.
Maybe the truth behind of my physiological issues and addictions was simply me not telling.

It was eating me up from the inside.
Maybe I had gone completely mad over guilt.
Maybe it wasn't loss like I had always assumed
Maybe, just maybe, guilt is what caused
The little sanity I had left
To slowly decay.

And in that moment
I had decided upon the idea
That the pathetic feeling of guilt
Kidnapped the few marbles I had
And has yet to return them.
I had gone mental,
For basically a nothing
That turned out to be everything.

I should not have been left alone
With my mind for that long.
And for that I feel
As if I've been fooled
Fooled my my own internal demons.

My secrets

    It would require a great deal of practice and patience, but I believe I could accomplish the state of mind and emotion referred to as "radical forgiveness". For many years I responded to situations as a victim, believing I wasn't good enough or blaming others for my choices. As an adult, I try to assume responsibility but old habits die hard and it is a struggle at times to push the victim away. When I consciously choose to not be a victim it is empowering.…

    I refrain from making hasty decisions, a trait that’s made it easier to manage time and keep my life organized. It’s not that I don’t enjoy some spontaneity, just that I’ve had experience with faulty planning. I like to consider as many details and possible outcomes of a situation before making a decision; in fact, I believe it’s my best characteristic. Thinking things through allows me to make sound, satisfying choices in both my academic and social life. It is a practice that has saved me from careless mistakes on math tests and kept my activities.…

    I couldn't agree more, sometimes I think to myself as well if I have any repressed memories that impact my personality. I never used to be so compulsive or expressive, but I think that has to do with a defense mechanism of mine. I know I have some repressed memories that have molded my personality to be more defensive at times, although I don't like that myself, I do feel it is a defense mechanism to be guarded for protection. I honestly did the same thing with the denial mechanism with my best friend during high school. I was in denial because of my friends passing just wasn't acceptable, and when people approached or confronted me, I pretended as though he was on a long vacation.…

    I managed to reach a point where I began making false promises to myself and others about addressing my situation. Among those empty promises was the one where I claimed I would give up drinking, attend rehab and try to get my life back on track. I even fiddled with the thought of seeking inpatient assistance if things weren't working as planned. Let's be clear and fair.…

    On Wednesday March 28, 2018 at approximately 09:45 a.m. I was dispatched to 7521 Carpenter Street in Port Richey FL in reference to a death investigation. Upon arrival I entered the single wide trailer and proceeded down a long hallway to the rear of the trailer. It should be noted there is no air conditioning in the trailer due to remodeling. As I entered the bedroom I looked to the left to find the decedent was lying on his back next to the bed.…

    I'm sitting in this room full of strangers, trying to keep it together though I could feel my gut tying itself into knots. The only ones who would really know anything would be my friends, Connor or Corey, and, of course, they aren't here. There's no telling when they'll be back so I try to get involved in one of the multiple conversations going in front of me though my mind was elsewhere. One of the many drifters currently inhabiting the same space as me had caught my attention with some story about herself. I let myself get distracted for a few minutes when Connor suddenly bursts through the door in a storm of messy curls and tears.…
