you stare blankly at your full plate of food, you havent had a proper meal in the past two days but somehow you still have no appetite. you catch your mom glancing at you, worry written all over her face but you dont bother telling her that youre okay, you don't have the energy to try to convince her that it's true.

she asks you why you havent touched your food yet and all you do is shrug, because you dont know either. you dont know whats wrong with you. you have no idea how this all started.

since when have you become so sensitive towards what people say? you used to be known for not caring about what everyone thought of you, you used to be confident.

since when did you have to use concealer to cover up your dark circles and blemishes? nowadays the veins under your eyes appear darker and your skin breaks out a lot more often.

since when have you started avoiding interacting with people? you had always loved surrounding yourself with your friends but now you feel as if your energy is being sucked out of you whenever you try to talk to someone, pretending to be interested when really, your mind is somewhere else.
