Not Today

When I finally rolled out of bed today I couldn't stop myself from crying. This time it was an angry cry because i was a little upset with my boyfriend. Which in turn quickly spiraled out of control. It went from just being frustrated with my relationship to why should I even bother with all of the B.S that is my life.

Then ofcourse the self-loathing and not feeling good enough for anyone comes into play. I began to grow tired of the same routine of tending to chores, while my family gets to go out and enjoy life,Leaving me at home... alone  with the thoughts that run rampant in my mind.

This wouldn't be the first time where I lie in bed and cry, and I know it wont be the last. Sometimes I feel like I could very well loose my mind. Either somethings gotta give or I'm going to be pushed too far once again.

I'll even get mad at myself for not being able to physically harm myself to take away the pain. I can't cut myself becuase I cannot stand the sight of my own blood and I can't become an alcoholic becuase I can't stand the taste.

So in the end I lie in bed or on the couch thinking about all the ways I could go and getting more and more frustrated that I can't bring myself to do the deed. Not that I havent tried once before. Although I'm that far out of touch with reality, I know I can't end it becuase I have too much to loose and I'm not one to cause others pain. I'm so timid I couldn't hurt a fly.

So I sleep to escape the pain, its the closest I can get to death. I beleive that is what death is, just a deep sleep that never ends. Your body is relaxed and your not even aware your dead (aside from the not waking up part). This is what most people don't understand. They look at me like I'm just some lazy slob who doesn't know a thing about hard work or self-discipline. Which is furthest from the truth. The fact that i can force myslef to actually get up and slap on a fake smile and go to my crappy job and help some of  the rudest inconsiderate customers is pretty damn disciplined if you ask me.

Except today is just not one of those days. Beleive it or not its worse. But I've come to realize that it really doesn't matter what aynone else thinks. The smart remarks or judgement that anyone makes of me is miniscule compared to the negativity that envelopes my mind. I am my own worst enemy at times, and it's something I need to work on.

Hi there, give! Welcome!! So good of you to share a post with us here. I know there are days like that... and I know how easy it is to allow something small to absolutely snowball into something horrible. We've all done it...

I believe sleep is just a form of our body trying to mend itself - both physically and mentally. Oftentimes, I guess, we sort of escape into sleep, huh?

Please hang on... it does take extreme patience to deal with the every day bullshit - trust me I know, I'm a social worker for the state - but somehow we get through. And sometimes? We even touch someone else's life and make it just a little bit better.

I've been there. I lost 20lbs once fall because I slept and slept and slept and couldn't get out of bed. A friend had to force feed me while I cried in his arms begging him to let me starve to death. I tried sticking needles in my veins to bleed out, but it hurt. I couldn't do it. I remember thinking how much of a failure I was that I couldn't even end my own life.
I got out of the cloud somehow. Maybe my mind just had enough and rebooted itself, maybe my body got tired and really did run out of tears. I don't know what changed. But it did... and I'm doing ok. Keep going. Keep putting on that fake smile, and dragging yourself out of bed, because eventually, it won't be so hard anymore. Eventually it won't feel like the world is pressing down on you. Eventually you'll find your way out of the cloud and you'll be ok again.

Thanks so much for the comments, and your both so right. I've been feeling better so far and I'm really glad to hear I'm not the only one who feels this way. Which is why I started this blog. Whats worse then feeling like your loosing your mind, is to do it alone. I needed some kind of feed back to know its not just me, and the comments have been very helpful.
