I tell myself that I am this so much that it kind of loses its meaning. At least when I’m buy myself. I just got done having a therapy session. I told him about how I think I’m worthless and all the stuff about the lab. I started crying again. When I talk to other people about this stuff I cry, but by myself I don’t (most of the time, sometime I do tear up). He asked me why I felt that way and kept asking why when I gave him answers. Is that what a good therapist does? I don’t know. Eventually he came to the conclusion that I should participate more and that I should just “be confident” in myself. I mean I guess so. That’s a very easy thing to say. But when you have years upon years of awful self hatred, it’s not something that is going to be fixed just like that. I was going over old posts of mine because I like to do so, and I was reminded that the first time I’ve ever felt self confidence was when I had my manic episode. It felt so good. Amazing. I’m a virgin, but that feeling is what sex must feel like. And it was all a product of a mental illness. Still bitter about it. My mom is getting concerned. She asked me if anything was wrong and I told her no. She asked if there was anything wrong, that I would tell her and I said yes. I’m bad at hiding my true feelings in my voice. I just naturally have my inflection match my mood. Whatever. There’s no point in telling my parents anything. It’s not like it would change anything.

Worthless is so extreme, and here I’m going to be inappropriately cheerful; even dirt and insects have purpose, worth. I’ve been working in the garden, and as I collect up green waste I find great joy when I find insects and the dirt they convert that waste to
not that humans are ever that simple. I just wish we had the confidence. You never find a beetle ruminating about their place in the world, but they certainly have one, and surely so do I, and so do you.
but worth and value are in the eye of the beholder… and I can understand not feeling it.
