lol sorry if y’all don’t wanna read this but I’m high key suffering so just skip if you don’t care
Basically like, I’m doing awful mentally like I’m so stressed out I feel like I’m gonna die and my self esteem has been in the shitter. Basically like I don’t have time to really hang out with people (friends, family) and instead of maybe asking me if I’m okay or supporting me and being understanding a lot of people are acting like it’s my fault.
I’m a senior in college, it’s really fucking tough and time consuming, plus I have an insanely long 2+ hours commute there and 2+ hours back every day. Still gotta take care of my pets and clean and attempt cooking healthy meals every night because yknow, recovery and all, and so yeah I don’t have a lot of free time and the free time I do have I feel like just curling up in my bed and reading books and playing Pokémon.
But then people act like I’m the problem? “YOU don’t make time for me” “YOU need to get a handle on the stress” “YOU need to calm down” hey!! Maybe fuck off!! If I could be less stressed and have time to be with loved ones and do fun things and be an all around happy healthy individual don’t you think I would??? It’s not my damn fault that life is really hard right now and making it seem like I’m the problem is not!! Helping me at all!! People talk at me like I’m fucking dumb as if I don’t know I’m stressed and sad? People will say “hey you’re not you right now” and yeah that’s 100% correct but why are we acting like I can just dump college and be stress free? Cause I can’t do that lol!!
When I say I wanna do something fun by myself for once I get called selfish like...I’m literally stretched so thin and I have nothing left to give. It feels like everyone’s pulling me in a million different directions and expecting me to be so perfect. Like yeah I wanna be me again too? I wanna be the fun happy person I usually am but at this point it’s hard to do that and maybe expecting me to be able to be super chill super happy Dianna and be under all this stress is a bit much to ask. And fuck like I’m such a positive person so I think people don’t take me seriously when I talk about my problems yknow? Like oh she’s still laughing and bubbly she’s good like, no? You can’t keep expecting me to take all these hits and still be okay afterwards.
Within the past year like; spent 6 months going to the hospital every night after class to visit my possibly dying grandma and spending my entire day waiting for a phone call to know if she was about to die; bus route got disconnected so I had to start taking 3 buses to and from home every day; one cat ran away another died; best friend of 8 years and I stop talking; eating disorder relapse; and just a couple weeks ago I slammed my car into a pole and almost had a serious accident. I still get anxiety attacks from the phone ringing and I feel guilty just for eating like a normal human being.
Is that maybe enough? Is that enough for some people to see I’m stressed and had a shit year and I’ve been desperately trying to stay positive but sometimes it’s really hard? Like everyone’s just pissed they can’t have the fun me cause like fuck when I’m happy I’m great! I’m a lot of fun and I’m a really good friend and I love doing new things like I’m a pleasure to have around. The second I’m not that person tho people just wanna complain or bail I guess. And like, this isn’t everyone but it feels like when I try to talk about the bad stuff a lot people are just like “okay get this over with so we can go back to having fun and you can stop being a buzzkill” it’s so hard y’all, I don’t know. A lot of times when I’m upset people twist it around so they’re the victim too like, “I’m upset that you’re upset feel bad for me look what you did!” Even know I feel guilty writing this when I totally have the right too and should not feel guilty. And like I have some wonderful friends who care about me but even then sometimes I don’t wanna talk about my issues cause I’m afraid it would upset them and make them sad, I have this horrible guilt when I think I’ve made people sad but I shouldn’t.
I don’t know, maybe some of y’all know how I feel? I’d appreciate any thoughts y’all have on this, especially if you read this whole mess. I think I’d really just want someone to say like “this isn’t your fault and I care about you and want you to get through this” like fuck, that’s all I really want. I had a bad night lol
