I don’t want to die. I just don’t want to feel like this.

I understand, and yet I feel both. I'm a paradox, I suppose.

The weird loneliness of being around people

Been that way for me since birth. "Oh you're just shy, got and say hi!" "Oh, you'll be fine, they love you!" What they don't understand is you can be the life of the party and the loneliest person at the same time. Depression and anxiet...

Does anyone else get triggered by small things?

YES! I can't stand certain things that most people don't even think about. Things that make me so uncomfortable or so irritated but really shouldn't.

I don’t think I’m lazy. I think my brain just won’t start

I can think about doing something for 6 hours.
Stress about it.
Feel guilty about it.

And still not start.

Then at 10:47pm I suddenly clean the kitchen like I’m possessed.

things?

Not the big obvious stuff.
The small things.

A tone of voice.
A door closing.
Someone standing too close.

And suddenly your body reacts before your brain understands why.

The weird loneliness of being around people

You can be in a room full of people
laughing
talking
normal

And still feel completely separate.

Like there’s a sheet of glass between you and everyone else.

Anyone else?

Oh 100%. The best days are the worst because you know not to expect them again. It's torturous.

Night is when it all gets loud…

Because we're typically alone, everyone has gone to bed, and the slower pace of night life makes us think about our lives and our choices that led us to be where we are in that very moment. I have my worst moments in the night.

Night is when it all gets loud…

Why is it that during the day you cope…

…but at night your brain decides to replay everything
from 2009 to yesterday???

You ever say “I’m fine” and then feel your whole body stiffen up?

Because you’re not fine.

Like… the day itself is fine. You get stuff done, even laugh. You’re productive. Even feel a bit like your old self again.

And then it ends.

And instead of feeling satisfied, you just feel… defeated. Or heavy. Or weirdly sad.
