Sad...as usual
Sad...as usual
I'm sad and lost. The few things that seem to give me joy are fleeting and "bad for me."
The days, months and years keep moving forward- but I am not. I am not happy when I wake up. Sleep is it's own struggle, as I have strange dreams that are sometimes very frightening.
I'm scared.
My grandmother, who passed away a few years ago, was schizophrenic. I am so scared that will happen to me and that, I think, is one of the worst hells imaginable.
I constantly think about the past and get lost in my own mind. I feel no one understands me- I don't think anyone really understands anyone, and that makes me feel even more alone bc I know it's true.
I want to feel free, but I don't.
Some days and in some moments I feel good..great even..but they don't last.
There are so many things I want to do, but I have no idea how to do them.
One of the worst feelings is feeling like I want to do nothing. That's sort of how I feel now.
I have a lot of trauma that haunts me. I don't feel validated by anyone..i wonder if I'm insane, if I should feel upset about all of the things that upset me.
I feel very alone. I'm scared of my feelings, bc they haven't changed in a very long time.
If I look back at my writings, ravings, journal entries, etc. throughout my life (which I don't do much) they have an overwhelming consistent theme-
feeling alone, misunderstood, hurt, angry and like I don't belong.
That's it for now.

Re: Sad...as usual
I just want to express my sympathy, because I often feel that way myself. The details of my life are different, but I often feel sad, and scared I will never feel differently. I think everything I've ever tried to do in my life, and this sad existence is all it comes down to.
But I have coping mechanisms which don't the solve problems, but they help. I hope you also find healthy ways to cope.

Have you thought about getting help for your sleep issues? I know the day is way, way tougher for me if I dont get at least 6hrs of decent sleep.
