Saturday’s Child

They say that Saturday’s child is full of fright,

I was born later that night.

Bundled safely in the dark shadows of God’s own alleyway-

There was no time for talk and no one

Could afford to stay.

I have memories of the echoes

still,

Hurtling through my head,

They survive on a well balanced diet of crumbs

Falling from the plates of the dead

There were warm breezes blowing in the bay,

Just around the corner of sweet catastrophe,

Just down the way;

The multi colored ocean view palaces paraded

Proudly in the October hue.

Hoof steps clacking on the cobblestone,

It’s all so desperate and divine-

I call it home,

When I can call it to mind,

A perspective quite sublime.

Marching to the drumbeat,

Hapless and harrowed,

The dreams that drove me down the paths of fancied freedom

Were stillborn

And finally narrowed

To a point of ever blinding light…

Saturday’s child,

I was born later that night….

Since childhood I knew I was different. I didn't know why, only that I seemed to think differently, to be interested in other things, to dream too much. However, I always thought that only I was like that. My own character flaws. My quirks and idiosyncrasies . Other kids thought I was weird. Parents or adults thought I was exhausting or selfish. Spoiled and only out to manipulate my parents.

Many said over the years that I was not normal or mentally disabled. Lazy or stupid. I was bullied, insulted, my name was written on walls to mock me, I was attacked and mentally intimidated. The school didn't do anything. I was the one who caused the problems. I was told I had to change. Some teachers have even engaged in bullying. I withdrew further and further. Became more and more passive. I was afraid to go to school in the morning or say anything in class. I had regular headaches, was confused, anxious and constantly wondering what I was doing wrong. Towards the end of school it got better. My classmates lost interest and we even got along relatively well. The fear remained.

Then came my time at university . A new city, a new environment. And again, it was time to get along with new people. I had two fellow students with whom I got along relatively well. It went OK. I still wasn't a social being. I interacted with the people at university if necessary but remained mostly alone. I didn’t know how to make friends. All the friendships I’ve had so far have been superficial or toxic. Friendships in which one did not talk about personal things, certainly not one’s own problems, especially if they were possibly of a psychological nature. At some point I met my future husband. It was love at first sight. And he became so much more: my only true friend, my second half, everything. We lived in our own little world. At some point I had to stop my studies for personal reasons. We moved and slowly built a new life for ourselves. With a not so great degree and dropped out, I didn't have much of a chance. I have had several jobs. Unfortunately, the employment relationships did not last long. The colleagues were neutral in most cases. However, there were some who also talked about me and made fun of me. I noticed how I became more and more reserved in dealing with others.

During this time, I also noticed other changes. While as a child I already had problems playing in the dirt, I now began to develop a panic that I could poison myself. My logic told me that toxins such as rat poison or fertilizer could be brought into the apartment by our shoes and could thus be transferred by fallen objects. At the same time, I was afraid to poison myself with detergents, as they contained a variety of warning signs . In addition, I had a panicked fear of suffocating. This fear had developed after I almost choked on a candy as a child and had accompanied me for many years. However, it got even worse over the years, as over time I also developed the fear that insects might bite my throat. So I developed the behavior of washing my hands more often, even after using detergents, and disinfecting objects. I tried to regulate my breath as I had the idea of breathing incorrectly, and avoided eating and drinking outside or even just talking. I was also convinced that I had a peanut allergy. In addition, I became even more anxious in dealing with other people. I always wondered what others might think about me. In situations where I was forced to interact with them, I was unsure what was expected of me. I felt more and more strange and began to question everything. I thought about myself and my mistakes and quirks, convinced that everything would be up to me and that I would be the only one who would be like that. That’s how I lived for many years.

Until I suddenly developed a preference for the series Star Trek Discovery. And discovered „Trek Twitter“ . In the discussions, many reported on their problems in real life, often concerning mental health. I tentatively began to interact with some people. At some point I found someone who talked openly about his own health and had published articles about it . I admired his courage to speak publicly about such personal things as mental illness. I started chatting with him. I was convinced that I was annoying him, although he always made it clear to me that he did not see it that way. At some point we came to talk about my „quirks“. He saw some similarities. The first time I felt understood and not like a „freak“. I realized that there were people with similar problems. At some point I asked him directly if, based on my problems, it could be that I was suffering from the same condition as him. He explained to me that it was possible. On the one hand, I was extremely anxious that I might have a mental illness, but on the other hand, there was also a slight feeling of relief. Relief that there were other people with similar problems, that I was not alone and, especially since it was a disease that was also due to changes in biochemistry, that I was not to blame for my problems, that I had not actively caused them myself and also had no direct influence on them. In short: That I wasn’t bad. We talked about this topic even more often. And my friend kept assuring me that it was perfectly fine and that I didn’t need to be ashamed.

At some point I gathered my courage and made an appointment with a therapist. I was so nervous before the appointment that I thought I would faint or have a heart attack. The therapist was very nice. We talked about my problems and she asked me some questions. She came to a diagnosis quite quickly. OCD. Just as my friend and I had assumed. The suspicion of a social phobia was also expressed. I was put on a waiting list because the waiting time for a therapy place is over a year. Currently 2 months have passed. My everyday life is an emotional roller coaster. Especially in the first days after the diagnosis, I became aware of a variety of symptoms that I had never perceived so clearly before. In addition, I had the feeling that they were much stronger than before. Others were added, such as the indefinable feeling of fear. Since I am not sure how to survive the waiting time for the therapy place, I decided to talk to a psychiatrist about the possibility of at least temporary drug therapy.

My friend is still by my side. When I am overwhelmed by my feelings or fears and thoughts, he calms me down. He answers my questions and helps me to process the new situation. He has really become a very good friend. I have gained another friend, whom I also trust and with whom I talk openly about this topic. Slowly I am also starting to make contact with other people on Twitter. I have to say that I am very grateful that there is such a strong community as „TrekTwitter“. Had I not started to move in these circles, I would never have met my maybe best friends. All our conversations would never have taken place and I would still think that I am doing everything wrong and not try hard enough to be like everyone else. Thank you for everything my two best friends. I appreciate you so much. ❤️
