hi. it’s me.

this one’s kind of a lot, so… fair warning.

i’ve been in a really good mood most of this week, but for some reason as soon as i get home, it kind of just… crashes. 

i don’t know why. 

i was fine at school and great at rehearsal—probably better than i’ve been in a really long time. 

but as soon as i got home… my brain just kind of switches, and for some reason, it’s just harder to be happy at home. a lot of the time, it feels like i’m falling back into old habits.

for context, i’ve struggled with anxiety and depression for a few years now, and around 2022/23 it got so bad i turned to c*tting as a coping mechanism, stopped eating much, then would overeat, i overworked myself, and most nights i slept on the floor just because i didn’t feel worthy enough to sleep in the bed with my little sister—and because i was afraid to get bl00d on the sheets from SH, because then people would know. besides, she was too pure, and i didn’t want the darkness and pain inside me to somehow infect her. that lasted for a couple of months. i wasn’t happy at school, and it was worse at home,  i was having frequent panic attacks and mood swings, and eventually suicidal thoughts. i couldn’t get myself out of the constant fight or flight mode that school’s put me in—and even today i still can’t seem to switch that off.

i’ve been clean for almost two years, but lately i’ve been thinking a lot about it, and while i haven’t acted on it, it’s incredibly disheartening to me when it comes up, and i’m always tempted a little more each time. i almost did the other day, but i reminded myself i had to stay clean because i’d quit on my little brother’s birthday. 

i’ve felt really alone lately, but i don’t know why, because i’ve been surrounded by so many incredible people who i know care about me. i feel like i don’t have the right to feel this way. it gets the worst when i’m at home. at school, i can usually ignore it because i’m too focused on getting assignments done and getting perfect grades and just generally being “perfect”. for most of my life, i’ve struggled with not feeling “good enough”. when we moved into our current house, the previous homeowners had left a vinyl sticker on the  mirror in what is now my bathroom that says “i am worthy”. the first time i saw it, i literally burst into tears and couldn’t stop for a long time. 

i’ve also been struggling with my body image lately. i’m not gonna get into details, but basically i’ve just felt weird and out of place in my own skin, and i always find something to compare myself to. i don’t eat very much.

i used to see a therapist, but we couldn’t really afford the price, and i stopped seeing her a while ago. last summer, i think. i won’t know why that’s important. anyway. 

basically i’m just feeling not good today since i’ve been home. feeling really self-conscious and very alone, not feeling grounded. almost burst into tears when i was doing the dishes earlier and when my cat came found me lying in bed because i didn’t have the energy to go watch Prison Break with my mom and little sister. 

i know this probably isn’t cohesive at all, so i apologize. i just had to put these words down somewhere, and i didn’t want to put it all down on my profile cuz i don’t want that to start again (iykyk). anyway. thanks for reading this.

Heyyy, Kajsa. 🫂

I don't want to like, make what you're saying seem less important or anything btw, but I know where you are right now. I never turned to direct SH, but I've come really, really close a lot of times. I always just . . . stopped myself, knowing I would regret going down that path in the long run. It was so, so tempting though. It kinda still is, especially with how my mental health has been suffering lately.

I've been super depressed for years now, but it's gotten worse the past few months, and my mind has been going places I really don't like, and I barely eat anything as it is but I've been eating less and I feel worse and home and all that jazz.

Anyway, I'm so sorry. No one should have to go through that.

*hugs*

If you want to PM me and talk about it, feel free ❤️

You know, living is sorta hard sometimes, for no particular reason. And sometimes it's because of you, and sometimes it's because you think it's you. It really is all quite confusing.

When it comes to your personal struggles, I think I'll share something I've done that has helped me. It was really quite a simple thing, but it has led to a lot of good. I made a goal. I devoted myself to something apart from me. Something that made my life worth continuing, no matter how much of a poor human I am. That refocus helped me out of a rather unfortunate place. (And the medication has helped too, I have no doubt)

Two cents from a cellist, I suppose. Hopefully it means something.

BIIIIG hugs. I haven’t been diagnosed with anything, so I won’t pretend I understand that aspect of it, but I’m here if you want to talk about it. I do understand wanting to be “perfect” - my parents get on my case whenever I have below an A (not complaining, my parents are amazing), so that part I completely understand.

True.

Just avoid words with that letter!

It's not that hard, surprisingly :D

True.

Until you find as you're structuring your sentence that it's secretly integral to it's cohesion.
