Having a goal and finding that you’re somewhat good at something really helps. Although I don’t want to get better, I can’t help it. I haven’t felt this neutral in years, in winter, with this rainy, dark, weather. I don’t know how it is happening but I think I am getting better. I expected to be disappointed again. It really sucks saying this and many people, as much as they’ll understand will be offended by this. I don’t want to get better, if I stop being…who I was, I won’t be happy either. I expected so much worse. Seriously reconsidering how much of a idiotic masochist I am. I hate wanting to kill myself every second, but I hate laughing and joking and feeling light, not understanding who I was a month or so ago just as much. I loved that I was going half crazy, I loved being on edge I loved absorbing other people’s thoughts in my head I loved drawing when I was losing control of my thoughts. I loved going to public places knowing that I strangled myself for 2 hours straight the prior night, I loved, just as much as I hated feeling angry and punching hitting myself with the handle of a badminton bat myself and leaving bruises, seeing it shiny in the shower, I loved counting calories. I don’t remember, just as much as I do. I enjoy doing things without any difficulties, just as much as I hate it. I will probably get worse anyways, its not like I’m being treated.
I’m just faking all this anyways. I’m a normal person, just like everyone else. There wasn’t ever anything wrong with me to begin with. I’m just really, really idiotic. I need to have my ego deflated.
It gets different every year, I remember last year, when I was completely in it, in the room half rotting, flipping through my old notebook, and how I wrote in full detail in tiny fonts all across the page, where and how I can kill myself in the building I was stuck in. I remember last year, the plan I had nearly engraved into the crevices of my brain, and how one day of refurnishing at the store fucked up my entire life. I remember just months ago, flipping through last year’s journal, a piece of paper slipped out with deformed letters making up of words that were incomprehensible for me this year. I forget about it all. And the drawings of fantasies of harming others. I don’t know how I can go back to feeling this neutral, it shouldn’t happen. Just weeks ago I was crying for hours in a parking lot and going back to hurting myself. I don’t deserve any clear air with this mindset. My physical body and my skills should be donated to someone else. I don’t want to get better, but I don’t have a say. I wanted to die knowing that I’m a terrible person with a mind filled with tar. I should have. If only October last year had let me. I was counting days. I was ready. What I’m not ready for is this, is smiling, is being able to imagine again, is being able to talk again, is being able to live again. I don’t want any of this. I’m sorry.

wow you described me very well there. i feel your pain. most days im just wishin on a star i get a hug or something
sending a virtual hug. I hope things get better.
Icy water buckets, I heard, is painful and doesn’t bruise your lovely face
don’t worry, I don’t punch my face or anything like that. What your girlfriend is going through is way worse. I am actually getting better, and this post was just about how…I didn’t want it to happen. I still feel strange about it, but I don’t feel that way anymore. Thanks for being so caring.
Somewhere along the process of growing up I’ve turned into a complete doormat. My toxic friend completely lost it over me today, so my day has been strange, but with a healthier mindset, I think I’ll do fine. I don’t want to put up with these things anymore…
More days to come, I don’t think I can abandon my family. Thanks Wasp.
I’m trying to convince my girlfriend to do that. She broke her neck strangling and didn’t know, yet continued to try to strangle anyway. She does it when she’s angry. She used to bruise her face with her fists, really bad. It’s hard, because I received a lot of death threats during shutdown/ coronavirus over it… I always just assume people “get” others who self harm….
She’s doing a lot better now, she has bipolar disorder and didn’t take medication for it. She still strangles sometimes but hardly with treatment… Now the icy water might help but she hasn’t tried it yet
Actually, the death threats were so consistent I started acting out how it may actually be opposite day everyday, or mad tea day….
Like Alice in Wonderland on a conveyor belt to hell
You don’t deserve that, by the way…
🙂 You deserve to know how fragile your heart is and that it hurts more.
I hope you aren’t self harming tonight… I hope you try the remedy.
Treatment will make you feel a lot better. This cycle will fix, and you won’t feel like garbage afterwards you know?
