Sitting in an empty room, I waited for the first person to come in. While the sounds of voices filled my ears, all of which are coming from outside.
Being alone in a room is not something I have a big problem with. The problem comes when my body and mind realises that I am alone in here.
It does not matter if I can hear voices outside, or see them through an open window. Once my mind feels like it is alone, it gets worse for me.
Memories pile up and I sometimes get stuck in the loop of those memories until someone comes to pull me out of that mind cage. Otherwise, I can get stuck in there for days on end.
I almost died from dehydration once when I got trapped in that mind cage. Not drinking or moving for four days in the corner of a small room can do things to your body, who knew? I did. But that did not stop me from being stuck in there.
