God will answer you prayers better than you think. Of course, one will not always get exactly what he has asked for….We all have sorrows and disappointments, but one must never forget that, if commended to God, they will issue in good….His own solution is far better than any we could conceive.

Please, Please, Please don’t judge- i beseech you

So…being at my wits end i feel like being brutally honest and scream for help through the interwebnet.  At the minute i don’t care how it affects me, who i’m afraid of will find this and not want to talk to me or people finding it and making fun of me- i’m gonna keep typing and not worry about how wracked with guilt that i’ve betrayed myself and how embarrassed i’ll be in the morning.  

This is me.  I have been told by doctors  that i have either psychotic depression or paranoid schizophrenia.  The latter is not, i repeat, NOT a multiple personality disorder.  It’s the dissociation from the world.  I guess that’s why i always say i live on a different plane from most people, because as much as i try to be part of the present and form lasting bonds with people i inevitably end cause i never feel quite confident they’ll accept me when i tell them about my past.  My past is that i have suffered from anxiety.  I had a breakdown at 19 and was in and out of hospital for depression and other associated stuff for maybe one year? maybe longer than that but i think it was just about a year.  What really helped me was CBT or Cognitive Bahavioural Therapy.  Saved me.  Really saved me.  I was attending pretty regularly a while and just like in a film i saw once, like the way i got sick finally accepting myself and coming through it happened the same “Slowly, then suddenly.”  The thing is i feel like i’m spiralling again.  Not the same way as before at all.  But in a way that i feel i’ve felt with some issues that were more prominent in the past and now new ones are coming up.  I’m comfortable i suppose with my personality and the thing is now with how i see myself on the outside.  Someone i thought accepted me made his true feelings known of how he sees me.  Which just plain sucks to hear.  I hate this body but i’m trying not to relapse to certain old ways.  But i don’t have the strength forever so i’m just gonna keep busy- hence the oddness of me typing this.  I feel like i’m under the black cloud again and true to form i’m back to being the actress people used to say but waiting impatiently for a long shower every night to cry out my pain or in another room where i know i won’t be disturbed.  Which is hard when you live with 3 boys.  One being your boyfriend.  I’m sitting across from him right now and he doesn’t really know what’s happening with me.  I don’t know if that’s actually true and i’m fooling him or i’m fooling myself cos it’s another person i feel i want to open up to but i don’t have the words or strength to know where to begin.  Do you think all mental health problems are related?  I mean i know i can’t just decide one- cos God knows i didn’t want what i went through but i was confident i’d left my darkness behind me with talking therapy and tablets.  Scares me how i’ll be affected in the future.  I’ve put my family and friends through hell- and lost a lot of them cos of it.  Don’t blame them.  My bf knows everything but i’m thinking now is it a good or bad thing that he’s not saying anything about my new problems buzzing in my head.  He didn’t really notice at dinner.  

I don’t want to ask for help but obviously that’s what people will try to do.  That i’m sure makes no sense to anyone who’s reading that.  I’m trying to say i wanna be left alone but at the same time i’m so unhappy i can’t be left alone cos it’s so empty.  I’m sorry for making your eyes read this far if you have.  Just needed a distraction.  I mean really, i can’t pinpoint anything in my life so why do i feel so disconnected?  I’m utterly pathetic.

Sigh.  I’m sorry.

Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you.

This too, shall pass. When things are bad, remember: It won’t always be this way. Take one day at a time. When things are good, remember: It won’t always be this way. Enjoy every great moment.
