They won’t leave

I have all of these intrusive images of my friend and her near death in my head.

I can’t get them to go away.

They are there when I close my eyes.

They are there when my eyes are open.

They are there when I sleep.

I can’t make it stop.

I’m so upset.

My therapist thinks I might benefit from EMDR, but it would be with a different therapist for a while.

I still haven’t decided how I feel about that.

Right now, I just have to get them to stop.

There are people I can call.

I guess it’s time to pick up the phone… again.
