I think I’m at the cusp of dissociating. Too much shit happens too fast and it’s like being caught in a whirlwind, only without the cool wind and debris flying past you. If only…
So where to begin?
So, I have these cats.
One of them has a broken tooth or something and I need to drag hm in to a vet because seeing him how he is is breaking my heart, but a vet bill is expensive. Sometimes I think I should just get rid of the cats altogether – it’d make everyone’s life easier, although it’d be removing one of the few things that gives me any happiness. Life is too complicated.
So, I have this sister…
The only one I actually have the ability to care about. She tells me one day, “Hey, I was raped…” She’s living in a condemned house with a kid, got an eviction notice recently, and my other sister (the one I couldn’t care less about) is making it impossible for me or my family to do anything for her. Life is too absurd.
So I have this life…
And it seems more monopolized with worry about other people and other things than about the things I actually care about, and I can’t see any way of untangling it. I pick fights with random strangers for no conceivable reason, just to outlet some frustration from time to time. I burn my bridges faster than I can build them because hey, I don’t have any time for anything else – all my time is everyone else’s time already.
So where am I headed? How do I get out of this mess? Severing all ties and going homeless sounds like a utopia right now. Either that or self-immolation in the yard; not sure which is more attractive.

Life will alwats be complicate for us one celled amoebas.
Dissociating? How do you know?
Who has the cat?
Who has the sister?
Who is angry?
Who’s life is it?
Who even knows anymore?
Dissociating as in floating above myself, watching myself do things due to the intensity of anxiety I’m experiencing – it’s apart from me, somewhere else, and I’m watching from a CCTV camera floating over my head.
I know what you mean. The same thing hapens to me. I was just asking if you felt plain dissociate or if you felt like there are different aspects / parts of you. Not that they are all together separate but if you can’t recall things you do, etc.?
I can usually recall what’s happened when I get like that, it’s just really a really weird sensation, and usually only happens when I’m really stressed out. Surreal, kind of.
Love the name, btw. 🙂
I think that happens to all of us.. I know I was like that a month or so ago when I was heavily grieving and stressed out
