I feel this is somewhat roundabout, but I keep coming back to the same conclusions.
I saw a picture with the text saying people who commit suicide are not trying to end their lives, but they’re trying to end their pain.
Every now and then (frequently now since I haven’t found a way to reconcile the contentment I felt being single with being in a relationship with someone) I feel pain. Various thoughts that on the surface I know are complete bullshit, just the endless venomous feed from a diseased brain, but still continuously make me forget how good I have it.
I do not want to be depressed or feel emotional pain. Sometimes I think I just can’t feel much else.
I just feel like something is broken inside of my head and heart, and I am running myself ragged trying to fix it. I have no idea what I’m trying to fix though, since I don’t have a manual for my own head or heart.
I feel like it’s unfair of me to feel pain since I know of many other people who have suffered far worse than me, but then I just feel worse, and guilty. Then that just brings me down again and again. It’s a vicious cycle really.
I don’t blame my relationship at all for my feelings of pain, depression, or discontent. I believe it is simply that I found peace and balance when it was just me and I had no person who I had to open my heart for, or that would have power over my feelings.
Being in a relationship is much more difficult than being single. Yes, you are lonely when you’re single. I can accept that. The problem is when you’re are emotionally invested with another person, suddenly other people they know that you don’t could potentially be dangerous for your happiness. Even if they are nothing to worry about, the fact you now have something that matters, you realize it could easily be destroyed.
I think a person with severe anxiety and depression problems views relationships in a different way. Especially females who suffer from these.
Relationships become just another way for people to disappoint you, or for you to disappoint others and yourself. You are suddenly opening your heart, and you realize just how terrifying that is.
Every potential negative outcome must be faced head on, or you’ll just worry yourself into a frenzy about it later.
You know, on various levels, that sometimes there are red flags you need to keep an eye on, and that there are things that are just the product of the paranoid mind. It’s difficult to differentiate these things most of the time.
I have stuck by horrible people who have beaten me to an emotional pulp. I am finally with someone that actually cares about me, and I seem to be the one beating myself into an emotional pulp…
What the hell is wrong with me?
I don’t want to do that.
It sucks. It’s causing unnecessary pain.
I’m not sure if I’m breaking apart for the sake of healing, or if I’m just doing it because no one else is…
