[TW: depression] "Buried Alive: Isolation, Loss, and Chronic Illness " I've been having a very hard time with my social isolation because of my chronic illness and chronic pain; isolation because of bed rest but also the people who leave me because I'm on bed rest, leave because being around me is too hard, leave because it is too much. My depression has been triggered even further from adjusting to slowly losing ability in my arms because of hypermobility and pain, and when I've tried to get out and socialize my body and my emotional sensitivities cannot endure it. This experience has led me to create this poem that travels through the loss, grief, cabin fever, bargaining, denial, and acceptance. Being “buried alive” metaphorically refers to the feeling of being left behind, forgotten, trapped, helpless, and isolated. New Videos Monday-Friday #WithCaptions Subscribe!
