Serotonin Deficiency

Something in you has gone quiet. Not loudly sad, not dramatic — simply quiet. The drive that used to get you out of bed in the morning has gone numb. The small moments that once made something in you ring out — a song, a smell, a good conversation — barely move you anymore. You sleep poorly or too much. You eat too little or you hungrily reach for the wrong things. You think the same dark thought-loops, over and over, with no exit. And over everything lies this one impression: that you are sitting here, waiting. For something that should come. For someone to come and collect you. For a moment in which everything finally begins again.
