Having a bad time... again. #Depression
I had this app once before but deleted it when I was doing better.
Now the really bad times have come back and I am struggling pretty hard... its kinda funny because I felt like I had a pretty good day yesterday but then when I had insomnia last night/this morning my brain wouldn’t stop buzzing and telling me that everyone hates me and I have no friends and I would be doing everyone a favor if I just died.
I fought it for a long time. I was crying off and on the whole time and set reminders on my phone to pop up with a message every hour telling me “You are loved”. I took a xanax to try and calm down (I take then very rarely and only in the worst of the worst of times) and it didn’t do anything and I just laid awake until 6am hating myself and crying.
Finally, I fell asleep.
But then I woke up today feeling exactly the same way. The whole time I was so upset last night I was trying to rationalize and tell myself, you’re fine, you’re just tired. You just need to go to sleep and this will all go away by tomorrow. It didn’t.
I woke up at like, 3pm and tried to do go about my day and do normal things. But already everything had a shitty miserable slant to it and the weak little patch my sleep put on the shitty feelings broke and I am back in bed and crying again.
I tried to do something nice for my roommates because the hall their rooms are in are really dark, so I bought some battery powered lights to hang in the hall that turn on when triggered by motion. I get up to use the bathroom and notice the light I put up sitting on the kitchen table and just got sad. I asked about it and he says it was just blinding him. And then had nothing but criticism for the other lights I set up. Not offering to help redo stuff together, just told me to fix everything I did and I just felt so crushed.
Logically, I know that I wouldn’t feel so shitty about it and they’re all valid thoughts and feelings of his own, everything just hits harder when I am in such a miserable state.
None of my misery is anyone else’s fault but my own.
But, man, I feel so lonely and shitty and I feel like I can’t reach out to anyone because my brain is telling me I am a piece of garbage and I should leave everyone alone. I am desperate for distraction to get out of my own head but I can’t reach out to anyone because I can’t top telling myself that everyone hates me and I am a burden.
So, I am a 34 year old fucking adult human being and I am sitting in bed and crying and I’ve self harmed for the first time in almost a year. I feel like I did back when I was a teenager and dealing with all this garbage with no tools. Here I am, with tools, and it happened again anyway.
I feel like a failure and a weak person. #Selfharm #feelingsodisappointedinmyself #Loneliness #SuicidalThoughts
