Last nights dream

I have a lot of peculiar dreams. I don't remember them often, but when I do, they're weird.
Really weird.
They often make no sense, so I've decided to face the challenge of writing it down in such a way it will make sense.
If you enjoy it, you can let me know in the comments, twitter or Facebook! If not, I'll most likely write another if I enjoy writing this one.

I was so excited. I was running up a rather magnificent set of stairs, with a group of friends I don't recall, most likely because they don't exist.
"I can't wait to see this!" I gushed. "I wonder how they made this into a film? I heard the game had over two hundred endings."
I was talking about the game Until Dawn, which, in my dream had obviously been adapted into a film.
Then we got up the stairs, and we mindlessly walked whilst still bursting with excitement, and then we walked in front of glass panes and the nightmare ensued.
There were all the characters, flailing, panicking, balancing on a stool, a noose around their necks. I originally thought it wasn't real, but then we were forced to choose which one to kill. I can't remember who chose a character or why they were chosen, but I remember having a panic attack. I ran away from the panes, keeled over, gagging, sobbing.
This is where the patchiness of my memory ensues, which is often why my dreams often don't make sense.
We were in a mansion. A very sombre, discomforting place. After a long walk, we ended up outside, a huge forest in front of us. A forest where you could get lost and never be found. A forest where you could be brutally murdered, and no one would hear your screams.
I again panicked, and for some reason my history teacher sat beside me.
"How do I get out if I don't want to do this?"
It was if a grotesque killing spree was about to ensue. Endure and survive. A hunger game type of event, except only one mysterious person would eventually kill us all.
I had fallen at this point and I watched as my friends left me behind.
Answering my question, he said
"You can't. You have to go through this."
I remember thinking I could just go back to the house and leave through the door. But apparently I couldn't.
And so the dream ended.

Unusual Coping Method

If you've read recent blog posts, you'll know I've recently finished my Leaving Cert (hence the erratic upload schedule). During it, I was surprising calm, and only cried over two exams. History failed me, unfortunately. But, I couldn't understand why I was so calm. Why wasn't Becky rearing her ugly head? When I thought about it, I realised something strange. All the exams I had done were a blur. I felt like I hadn't even done them. When I came out of an exam and was asked a question about the paper, I blanked. I just didn't remember. I was forgetting a lot of things in day to day life, and feeling numb. That's when I realised what I was doing, I wasn't being present. Feeling as if you're not present is a major symptom of anxiety, so I suppose it has become an unintentional coping method for me. I'd look in the mirror and think, Wow, I'm actually that person. That reflection is me! It's really hard to explain what this feeli

Cycle Against Suicide

An organisation set up by Jim Breen, where thousands of people cycle through Ireland every year, to break the cycle of suicide. Cleverly placed pun. Today, the lovely Mr Breen came to my school and talked to all seven hundred plus of us. In the back, wearing a disgustingly bright orange shirt in support (and feeling decidedly Dutch), I was struggling not to cry. Not that he was being morbid. He didn't delve into details of his depression, or any gruesome details of suicide. He spoke in such a way that was amazing. He spoke to us in a way that reached all levels of understanding in relation to mental health. He was able to educate those who have never experienced a mental monster, without boring them, or frightening them off the topic. Though, even with such sensitivity, he was able to touch those who had suffered mental illness. It was like a little nod to us. We knew we were understood, that he understood. For me, that is always extremely emotional. For someone to understa

Feeling Anxious

Having anxiety, I regularly tend to feel anxious. I've been asked if it's excessive or extreme worry or stress, but no, it's not. It's anxiety, it's very different. Right now, I'm feeling particularly anxious. When I say this to a person without anxiety, they assume I'm feeling worried or stressed, which isn't the case. I feel like there's something massive weighing my chest down. I'm making a conscious effort to breathe, because if I don't, I will forget to do so. I feel as if a snake is making its way up my throat, trying to twist my oesophagus while its head rests on the back of my tongue. My head is spinning. It goes from one thought to the next and back again in a couple of seconds. My mind is transfixed on one thing that I'm anxious on, and I know that anxiety is making me think it's worse than it is. (Or is it? I don't know.) My senses are heightened. Every noise is irratating, and I can feel things through just a bru
