Category: The Accident – As Of 10/10/25 Early AM Named “Clyde” (Short For Collide) Because It’s Funny And I Deserve Mirth At Its Expense
I’m Not Gonna
“Sob due to nerve meltdown.”
Overcoming
“The pressure to perform was ever present, yet because I pushed, this further injured.
Now my internal messaging is being messed with.
Yay.”
The Numbers
“They were there, but I couldn’t reach them.”
Clamping Down
“An effect of the ‘freeze’ pattern.”
Division Of Mind
Prime directive switches modes
Depending upon focus selected
Calibrating survival maps

(Heaven Is A Spectrum – Leo Faulkner)
“Spirit Within”
“In Mourning”
I Took Good Care Of Myself
“Youthful promise nicked at and blasted away is not even something original for me to say.”
(I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin’- Vienna Symphonic Rock Orchestra)
Gratitude
“Gratitude…”
It Felt Good
“Feeling self empowerment return on some levels and being able to contribute.
Having these taken away again is bewildering and feels terrible.”
(Chokehold – Sleep Token)
Accident Remnants
“‘You’ve got me in a chokehold…
So ‘even if I can’t sleep, show me the way.'”
—
(Sleep Token song reference)
I Thought I Could
“I planned to keep being there for a few, but symptoms worsen still – so even these, I had to postpone.”
Self Review
“When the chips are down, desperation makes it harder to see clear paths of morality.
Therefore, instead of relaxing to defrag reset, I increase my own pressure against resistance to keep visualizing and tracking.”
What Is Right
“I keep trying to do this, regardless of personal losses.”
Sleep Token’s “Caramel”
“This stage is a prison, a beautiful nightmare. A war of attrition. I’ll take what I’m given – the deepest incisions. I thought I got better, but maybe I didn’t.”
Dear Alex,
“I thought I could get better, that I could pull myself back together.
But parts of me bamphing out of the material realm while others got torn assunder makes it difficult for regeneration.
My body is trying, but is misdirected by the longterm inflammation – and this has now become something that I cannot fix on my own.”
(Let Me Come To Life – Klangkarussel)
I Want To Live
“Please universe, help me find my healings.”
Shock
“I had known it was ‘bad,’ but they had only found hints of the areas before that they had then waived off as minor, despite my unusually extreme symptoms”
Disorientation
“The pain had increased to such intensity over the past couple of weeks that getting it to finally back down a notch or two has me floating in hazey nerve fry.”
Wrenched
“I should have waited, knowing the dogs were distracted, but instead I waded right into them at the height of their excited surge-lauching toward the person behind me – and got my leg attachments pulled.
Dazed and confused, I feel insubstantial as the ground shifts ever constantly under me, making it difficult to find and retain my bearings.
(Likely, flip flops don’t help, but the toe needs a little more time)
Good thing I’m an air sign and can dissociate somewhat, othrwise I’m not sure I would have made it this far by endurence.”
Movement
(Pop!)
“My humerus at last repositioned!”
Full Stop
“I have just managed to extricate myself from the mode of ‘full steam ahead,’ pulling off into an eddied pool as the river of life keeps blasting full throttle downstream.
Having taken damage trying to keep up with the rapids, perhaps more gentle side streams might bypass and reconverge where navigating becomes smoother sailing.”
(Survive – Lewis Capaldi, Sollos Relax Mix)
Anything
“Please, just give me any position of comfort.
Anything…”
Dig Down Into The Mud
What good is all this talk of wings
When there is nothing left above?

(Sleep Token lyrics from “Even In Arcadia”)
Cliff’s Edge
“It seems that I have come to the end of what I can due to bring in income, unless I deviate course drastically and have ability to wait for several months – if not longer.
What purpose to be driven to this precipice with only options as denial or acceptance?”
Misaligned
Cranial bones are shifted.
(Close Your Eyes – Forester, Petit Biscuit & Emilia Ali)
Self Regulation
“Gets hard to create when the nerve and chord twist-compress into hot, pinching pain and the panic sets in.”
Dear Friend,
“I pull at the chains…and I’m breaking.”
I’m Here
“Just casting my net about, trying to grapple with this sea monster and come up with better solutions than freaking the fu** out…”
Retraining
“Looms on the horizon…”
Self Worth
“I felt proud of my prior physical abilities.”
(Fear – Leo Faulkner)
Pain
“Believe it or not, I don’t like complaining – but I keep getting driven to mention it in order to attempt to obtain some sort of psychological release.”
Pragmatism
“I’m going to have to shift how I’ve looked at all of this in order to create a new form of hope to carry on.”
For Now
When paths forward
Erase into fading dim
Going becomes slower
As insecurity increases
One must take hold of
Frightened heart/mind
Carefully testing steps for
Stability’s further slippage
How Rapid Is Rapid?
“Two years to this state is pretty darn rapid.
Gee, migraines and symptoms validated.
Why, thank you!”
(Sugar – Sleep Token)
The Game
Counter-strategies
Now
“What to do about it…”
Why
“The spinal cord was overstretched, cervical stacking stability shorted out, and brain is being pullled at in every movement, so constant distress signals’ flight/fight/freeze signals keep alternating and prevent fascial proprioceptors from regulating.
But that’s not what many doctors would say.
They will look at where it is pinching, compressing, and/or grindng…
Because they still do not understand how to treat actual causes to system ‘failures’ by looking for underlying reasons in order to troubleshoot and provide restorative therapies.”
MRI Results
Worse than before…why?
(I’m not freaking out…I’m not panicking…my blood pressure is fine – I’m fine, da** it!)
4am Bed Wrestling
Pushed shoulders &
Further ripped hips
From slipping on carpet
Working to disassemble
That extra foam layer proposed
I had hoped would’ve benefited
Testifies to the extent of
Unnegotiable discomfort
Selective Functionality
I can still attend many things
Just not the same drudgeries
