living is debilitating. it's so hard to be in a relationship when my own issues and self hatred sometimes eclipse my ability to love my girlfriend. i see them once a week and even that is hard to do between texting every day, going to class, and managing my issues. i am exhausted all the time, i have chronic illness as do they (alongside a very serious mental health diagnosis that can make them unstable in their friendships and relationships). i vacillate between panic about our future and needing to give up and realizing it's okay on a hourly basis. i'm chronically burnt out and doing trauma therapy that makes me feel worse? and im working full time on top of being a student. and then i have a few good days and everything is fine again until it isn't and the back and forth and back and forth is exhausting. i'm sure in about 5 hours i'll read this and realize it was not that deep. ugh
