Ten years.

Written by:

It’s been ten years. 10.

Ten years since I began questioning life. Ten years since I started to just go through the motions. Ten years since I felt the life drain out of me.

There are memories that I look back on fondly, but then I remember what was happening behind the scenes. I was falling apart more and more. 

After all this time, I’ve realized that it’s not something that’ll “get better”, it’s just a part of me. It’s who I am.

I’ve grown tired of hiding things. Between not understanding myself and not understanding other people, I can’t bottle anything else up. And for me, “not hiding things” means “saying pretty much everything on my mind”.

I hate having depression. I hate having anxiety.

I really hate having OCD, which I have actually had for my entire life. It’s like every type of thought is happening all at the same time constantly. Anxious, excited, angry, anticipatory, paranoid.

I hate being so empathetic. It’s like I can’t be my own person, and instead I’m just clay. I’m molded into something different every time I’m t a new environment.

I feel like no one knows the real me, but it’s because I don’t know the real me.

It’s been ten years of experience, but it’s really been a lot longer.

    Please hang in there. Take a day at a time where you can challenge yourself to try see the beautiful, no matter how simple. See the positive, no matter if you think are there any. Begin your new ten years by beginning to change your outlook, no matter if you feel there’s no clear sight.

      I appreciate it, it’s just so difficult when there are things in my home and daily life that cause such an instant negative reaction for me mentally.

    I hope and pray that those things that bring that negativity will become things that you’ll be abe to handle and overcome, even if it takes time.
