I put deadbolts on my door today.
If I could figure out how to put them on my windows, I'd put locks there too.
I know I'm being crazy.
I know it was just my brain filtering information.
The nearby lake.
The past.
Him.
I don't care.
I'm going to check my locks three extra times before I leave the house and before I go to bed.
I'm not leaving anything unlocked.
I close my blinds on the lake-facing side of my house.
And I'm up past my lips now.
I'm trying all the grounding exercise you showed me.
I'm reciting the stupid mantras, checking my locks, taking a pill and a half to get myself drowsy enough to stop spiraling.
But nothing is helping.
I can feel the lakebed silt swirling below me.
Sometimes it grazes the tips of my toes, forcing them down, trying to get a good grip so it can pull me all the way under, paralyzed and helpless.
My tongue feels like a bloated slug in my mouth, fat and bitter with taste of the lake bed.
I don't know what to do.
September 24th.
