I feel like screaming. My life is a slow ball rolling down a long, long, long ramp. I've had depression ever since I was eight, and it just gets worse each year. I also have very severe social anxiety and a bunch of other problems. I'm not in school right now because of these issues, but I'll be back next year. It's gonna be hell, I know it will. But I'll try anyway, because there's never gonna be a "good time" to go. Things aren't gonna get better. I only have panic attacks and breakdowns in front of other people. I wish it weren't so. I beat myself up after any mistake, no matter how small. I embarrassed myself so many times at school, psych hospitals, groups, and just about any public place you can think of. Speaking of psych hospitals, I was in one for the first time earlier this year. It was so traumatic. I have nightmares and flashbacks. I had so many breakdowns in front of other patients, I would laugh hysterically because I was so nervous, I even had this really bad panic attack where I ended up crying for two hours straight. I was only there for five days, but it felt like years. I was sent there against my will and my parent's will. My psycho, drunk, drug addict aunt made up a bunch of lies about me and my family. I was very vulnerable, and she knew it was a good time to take advantage of me. The police and CPS came to my house 15+ times because my aunt called every day. Because of that, I'm terrified of police. But that's not the problem. I've always been a shy and quiet person, but after this, I vowed to never vent or express myself ever again. And if I do, it MUST be completely anonymous. I don't feel comfortable talking to my own family or friends about my feelings. I don't feel comfortable with doctors, either. Or other people my age. Or even myself. I bottle up my emotions until I have an emotional breakdown. Anyways, that's not the only problem. I haven't talked to my best friend in a while... I feel horrible about this since his mom passed away earlier this month. And waiting only makes it worse, because after a while the social anxiety kicks in. Now I don't even feel comfortable talking to my best friend. I've known this guy for over six years... I've tried calling him, but his dad is trying to keep him busy to keep his mind off him mom. I'm so scared... He's my ONLY FRIEND. I lost all the others. I would die for him, I love him so much. I really don't want to lose him. If I do, then that would be the end. I feel so effing petty. My friend lost his mom, yet he still goes to school? And I'm just sad and socially awkward! What do I do? NOTHING!!! People my age,, people YOUNGER than me are doing great things, and their problems are so much worse than mine... HAHA! ...Moving on. My mom is making me go to an outpatient program at a hospital. I was anxious at first, since it was a hospital and everyone was a stranger. The first day went well... The second time was hell. Like I said earlier, I have trouble talking about my feelings, even to those I trust. All the other people in the group have absolutely no problem ranting about their problems (which, of course, are worse than mine) while I just sit there. Silent. Why go to this group if I'm not gonna talk? Even if I did talk, I'd just be interrupted or something. I have so many things to say, most of which are too personal or messed up to talk about. There's so many words but not enough time. I feel so numb. I feel nothing. I could care less if someone were to die right now. I've already lost so much. I felt like screaming earlier, but I don't have nearly enough energy now. It took me 30-40 minutes to write this. Haha! You didn't actually read it all, now did you? I'm so tired of being hurt, I can't wait to hurt others. But I can't bring myself to do that. I can't get anything off my chest without making things worse. Talking to people and expressing myself no longer helps. I have no more coping skills, hobbies, skills, or passions. I wonder what kind of person I was like before all of this. Some say that I was funny, kind, and creative. It's funny how one minute you'd die for someone, but the next you don't care about them at all. It's funny how one moment you're so passionate about something, but the next you don't give a damn.
I doubt you read all this. But.... If you did... Thanks. You must really care. You must really be selfless. People must love you. Thanks for listening to my sob story. I really mean it. <3
