i think there is something wrong with me.
I did multiple tests, regarding my mental health, and so far, the tests have all resulted in ‘severe depression’ and I did another test today, and apparently I am showing high symptoms for bipolar.
I am not one to self diagnose, I don’t want to do that. But I know that I am not going to get professional help for a long time so I had to resort to that.
Lately, I’ve been feeling like I can’t feel this way. Like I am not allowed to. I don’t know. I just feel so fucking ungrateful knowing there are other people out there who wish they had what I have and they’re still being strong but here I am.
I don’t know how to do this anymore, all my life, all I have ever wanted was to be okay. I just wish I could erase myself, and never exist in the first place.
I don’t think I deserve to feel like this, I’ve always been the designated happy friend, my personality has always been deemed to be happy and cheerful. I don’t want to ruin that, somehow having others think that I am capable to be happy, and that I’m strong, makes me feel better.
Sometimes, I wish, someone could see right through me. To be able to point out when I’m not okay, since I do it so well. But I know that's stupid, people can’t read minds.
I feel like a fake, like I’m a fraud. I tell everyone to be happy and yet here I am.
The question of why is so hard to answer.
‘Why are you not okay?’ ‘What's wrong?’
and as I struggle to answer, sometimes I can see them giving up. and my heart tightens and I build my walls up even higher.
but i answer anyway, with a lie, with something else that could make me sad, a lie believable enough for them to think that I can be sad about it.
every time I do that, I’m just ignoring my feelings yet again, and they pile up.
For almost 3 weeks now, I feel like they’re falling on top of my head, rapidly. I feel like I’m drowning, my heart feels so heavy, my insomnia is back, im not eating. im barely existing.
help me, please. idk what to do.
