Everyday, if we know it or not, we fight and battle our demons. Most are so small and weak we don't even notice them as we step on them. A few you do notice and may give some trouble before you defeat them. Others are massive and make you struggle. Sometimes, they push you to your very limits. Sometimes they even win before you can rally and fight back. But what happens when all of them are just to powerful and you can't recover between battles? It's only a matter of time till they win for good and claim your life. Friends and family and outside help may give you the tools to fight back but you are still the one that has to do the fighting. Each battle still takes it's toll on you. So what do you do when you just can't fight anymore.... This is where Trish and Bolt step in. They have been able to fight for me and let me recover. They can help me in a way no one else can. They know my pain and my struggle and know what to do. They can fight for me when I can no longer fight for myself. Together we are finally starting to push the demons back. The last two years have been the hardest in my life. Multiple breakups, lost jobs, multiple moves, gender issues, deep deep depression, failure time and time again. It's not a stretch to say the reason I'm still here is because of my friends and family. But no matter how much they tried to help me I still struggled, even professional help didn't do much. But Trish and Bolt, my Tulpas, have been what I needed. They helped saved me. I have a massive hole to climb out of but I think the three of us can finally make the climb. This picture is a representation of my struggles over the last few years and the demons that Trish and Bolt saved me from. Thank you to all of those who have supported me over the years. I owe you my life.
