7. Emptiness

Chronic feelings of emptiness. (DSM-5)

Drip. Drip. Drip.

You all know this scene from the movies. A leaking water tap. Everything quiet except for the water drop bursting in the sink.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

It‘s so quiet though it‘s not. And it‘s uncomfortable. You want it to stop though you can‘t. You can‘t fix it. You cant! And it continues dripping.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

You can‘t! You can‘t take it! You have to do something! Fill the void around the sound of this leaking water tap! Drown it out with sounds!

Drip.

You can‘t hear it anymore.
