I’m on the edge of a psychotic break down. if I keep pushing on to the end, that I’m oh so close to…so close to finishing my show, finishing this semester, finishing school……. it’s going to finish me. I can’t wait a few more day, weeks, let a long months! Everyone tells me how close I am to finishing school, “just a little more, two more semesters, you got all this way, why quit now when you’re so close?” And no one wants to listen about my bad day, how much I can’t stand it, and listen to me cry. My friends don’t want to hear it, by boyfriend can’t handle it; I can tell he wants to break up with me again, if I keep acting this way. I just need to toughen up and get through it like everyone else. I’m not the only one having a hard time so I shouldn’t be the only one complaining. I’m ruing everyone’s day, I’m killing the mood. These aren’t my words, my friends have said so, even though they were trying to direct it somewhere else so as to not hurt my feelings. That’s fine, I won’t tell anyone about how I’m feeling, I’ll keep it to myself, and one day I’ll disappear, and they’ll wonder why, why I never told them.
Why are people so contradictory? They say to call and talk anytime I’m feeling down or need a friend, and then when they’ve done their duty and cheered me up they expect it to be over with. Like I’m not going to get sad again, like this isn’t every day for me. I should talk to a professional so I don’t have to burden anyone who isn’t getting paid to listen to me. So I just write it here, because that’s what we all do. When we have no one else to talk to. I don’t even care to talk anymore, or get sympathy, or have anyone care to listen. I just want to vanish. disappear, cease to exist, dematerialize, vaporize, expire, demise, conclude, terminate, evaporate, die, death, dead, gone, no more, numb extinct, lifeless, fade, recede, end.

People can be a lot less sympathetic when they’re impatient about someone’s long-term illness. I hope you have at least someone to talk to who understands. I can well understand just wanting to disappear, but I hope you can keep getting through one day at a time. Soon you’ll realise you’re much closer to finishing, and then hopefully you can focus on yourself more.
Thanks, I dont feel like I can talk to anyone anymore, I dont want anyone to hate me for having so many problems.
Put down the thesarus, you’ll hurt yourself!
There is a fine line between whining and vocalizing your struggles. Also, most people are miserable at being supportive. In addition, most small servings of french fries are too small. Throw all these things together and you get a situation where your friends aren’t being helpful, everyone is irritated, and you feel like a fatty because you got the large size.
So rant here as much as possible. We have a higher degree of empathy than most people. Also, since this is online, you can’t see when people are trying to hide from you so your self worth isn’t savaged like when you knock on a friend’s door and they do a bad job pretending they aren’t home.
School is hard. I dropped out. I have gained great perspective by living without a college degree but I don’t recommend it.
People aren’t that strong. They’re just individuals, like you, and they don’t know how to handle it.
But just keep being yourself.
