I prefer isolation these days. I'm too depressed to do anything except sleep. Being awake exhausts me. Physically, I can't get out of bed, I can't walk, I feel like collapsing. My sleeping is all over the place. I want to quit my job. I just can't anymore.
A recent relationship failure has made me realize I'm more screwed up than I thought in that department. I am completely incapable. I'm terrified of men. I'm terrified and confused about how to care about people. I want to hide.
I am terrified of life. I am tired of pretending otherwise.
I'm completely damaged, mentally, socially, sexually, emotionally. I don't see myself as capable of a good career or relationship.
Overall, I am just too tired to keep going. I have no thoughts, I feel empty and exhausted. If I had more energy, I would kill myself.
It has been this way for years, a decade, even.
Why do people keep me around if I am too weak to do things or make decisions?
Thanksgiving is coming and I might just decline an invitation. I want to be alone. Maybe I'll finally kill myself. There was never any point. I have always been completely alone and terrified and misunderstood.
And no one cares. No one has ever cared. I don't care either.

Things WILL get better and you know that. It is an average behavior to question oneself and fall into a dark pit while grieving the loss of a relationship. Please be kind to yourself. You did not fail nor you are messed up in that dept. There are many messed up people who find love and are in relationships. Relations are very very difficult and when they fail, they fall apart on their own not because of the mistakes.
Similar to you. I have spent the entire 2017 in bed, traumatized over grief and loss without any support, until I decided to see my T.
Depression lies to you. Please remember that.
It will get better. I promise. Please do not entertain the negative thoughts; but embrace the positive ones.
We do care about you. I don’t know you but I care about you.
Please keep on sharing.
