9. ODC Anxiety Depression
When rue was little at
dinner, she would look
up at the columns in
the ceiling lights and
count them. Her
mother would ask what
she is doing and kept
interrupting Rue’s
counting till she cried
in middle school rue was in
math class and was trying to
pay attention but instead had
an anxiety attack
“ And every now and then, if i
focus to closely on the way I
breath…. I die.”
“ Until you find every second
of every day to outrun
anxiety”
When rue got into drugs
that was her most
depressed state.
“Everything stops, your
heart, your lungs, and finally
your brain. And everything
you feel and wish and forget
just sinks”
