The thing is, I don’t know how to tolerate feeling like this. The sheer fucking loneliness of it. The self-hatred. The shame. The despair. The regret.
I keep telling myself in my mind ‘you’ve got to find some way to cope with this.’ But I have no clue. My mind is constantly tearing itself apart, looking for a solution. But there is no solution. I have irretrievably fucked my life up. There’s no removing this stain. No making it right. No way to make myself acceptable to others. So I will always be alone.
I don’t know how to accept that reality. How to live with it. It drains all possible meaning from the world. So I desperately fantasize over some way to break through those logical constrictions, hurting myself even more each time the reality is made clear.
And yet I feel like I should somehow be able to cope with this experience, to function and give the appearance of normalcy. To get through each day without wanting to curl up in a ball and cry. To avoid passing my despair onto family members who don’t deserve it, I should find some way to live with this. I just haven’t got a clue what that might be – it seems unbearable. How can you be this endlessly alone and not go insane?

Do you have nice hair?
All of these deep thoughts of yours must attribute to something… suave….
Lol…no. When I still had hair it was nice. Much less thinking back then.
I could have written your first paragraph.
