I have severe depression and social anxiety. Writing enables me to escape the real world for a bit. When my own life overwhelms me, I can write about someone else’s, whether that be fictional or not. In a world focused on technology, wealth, and social status… I can create my own alternative that focuses on personalities and relationships of people.
Writing puts some kind of trance on me. I don’t write for anyone else, some of my stuff really sucks. But, when I write, I truly feel like I enter the world of my story. Writing horror, I might feel anxious or nervous. Writing action, I may feel adrenaline pumping. Writing drama/romance, I can access a lot of feelings that I’ve blocked off in the real world. Being numb and having a lack of emotions has become the norm in society… writing lets me free my mind and feel things again.
