I've repressed so many emotions this week, I've needed to take a break from my workplace. I've just been having really dark thoughts you know? And it's weird cuz... They're dark but they also border? Idk how to explain but it's a weird dissociative state I guess? I haven't been able to cry much, because I haven't been allowing the emotions to surface even if my mind is racing. It's a really strange limbo. In my life I've been crying a lot, I have more luggage than I often express or people know, I'm a very emotional person, and that's not bad, but when I am in melancholy or just see things as pointless it's worse because then there's nothing I can grab onto. And since I've always been very emotional not being able to idk reach them at all? It is scary to me. Even if i have a hard time managing my emotions. And when I don't know how to even approach them it's like everything I ever thought about my emotions, my experiences, the pain, the happiness is floating away in a distant cloud. I know they're there, but they're outside of my being.
It is... Very strange. I think the amount of stress I've been feeling lately, both with new stuff and changes in work and after meeting a lot of my friends at the same place during halloween was overwhelming. It makes me reflect on my life but if I do it too much I can shut down, the gears start going too fast until they get stuck, and I have to oil and nourish them to make them run again. But I'm tired.. so freaking tired.
But hey, I think it's mostly been a long time since I had a depressive episode like this one, (my depressive episodes can look different) but these limbo, feeling hopeless ones aren't something that's as frequent anymore (which is good ofc!! ) But since they aren't as they used to be i guess it becomes a shock. Sighs, I will pick myself up I know it. But yeah I hope I can let myself cry soon, maybe write in my book to reflect on my feelings and things that's actually bothering me,
