And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

Quote by Kahlil Gibran

 

Separation Anxiety Disorder

is a psychological condition in which an individual experiences excessive anxiety regarding separation from home or from people to whom the individual has a strong emotional attachment (like a father and mother). It becomes a disorder when the separation reaction becomes strong enough to impair people's ability to conduct their day to day lives and relationships.

 

Separation anxiety disorder is often characterized by some of the following symptoms:

-Recurring distress when separated from the subject of attachment (such as significant other, the father or the mother, or home)

-Persistent, excessive worrying about losing the subject of attachment

-Persistent, excessive worrying that some event will lead to separation from a major attachment

-Excessive fear about being alone without subject of attachment

-Persistent reluctance or refusal to go to sleep without being near a major attachment figure, like a significant other or mother

-Recurrent nightmares about separation

-Crying

 

 

So I had a totally different idea when I began shooting than what you see here. But what happened here works was more perfectly than what I had planned.

 

Actually I never planned to do this disorder. I was going to do something way more common: bipolar disorder. But my idea wasn't working and I began flailing my head around and liked the effect then came up with this idea. Unfortunately I had no idea what disorder I was doing haha. I didn't even know while I was editing it...all I knew was that it had to be dark and creepy...I'd find the disorder later.

 

So after I edited this (and am okay with it, maybe it'll grow on me) I began surfing through disorders on wiki. Came across separation anxiety disorder and it seemed to fit...then I realized:

-I've been missing Garry like crazy. It's hell being away from him...and not knowing when we'll really be together again.

-I'm going to miss Jazmine's pictures every day! This picture is dedicated to my very good friend and "sister" Jazmine who finished her 365 today! I highly recommend her stream...she has some uber creative stuff there!

 

And PS. I won't be posting anything until probably Saturday or Sunday, unfortunately. This week's going to be super busy...need to work on my anniversary gift for Garry, need to write a paper, need to hem the dress I'm wearing before Friday (it's for choir...and I have NOTHING to hem the damn thing with), sing for convocation on Friday then head right over to Patricia's birthday party.
