Hey all. I'm going to be taking a semi-break for a bit.
Traditionally, I get sui this time of year. (Not on account of holidays.)

To top off, 2 weeks from today is my SSDI hearing. It's been over 3 years in process. (I don't talk about it or read threads because it is very triggering.)

I don't do holidays anymore. Even basic life maintenance is a struggle, so holidays are a no-go. Simply can't relate to shopping, having holiday obligations, etc.. We don't have tv or listen to radio or even hardly go out at all, so the commercial innundation scarcely exists for us.

It's another ******* circle around the sun. More getting older, falling apart, and getting sucked down an economic vortex.

The hearing is essentially life or death. I'd like to think that I'll finally be heard, but all I feel is despair.

It's not depression talking, just plain facts. It's bleak. Not being able to relate to the rest of society is at all time high. Like being somewhere not being able to speak the language or understand anything, or convey what I'm going through.

I'm terrified. (I have a T appt on the afternoon of the hearing day. A tether to spinning out? We'll see.)

Which is all to say that my head is just not in the game. Brain's scrambly. It could get really ugly. Meanwhile, I'm not much use to anyone. So I'll peek in a bit, but don't foresee participating much. Consider me benched. I'll still be rooting for you all though.

Sorry.

I'm so sorry you're having this ********t swirling around in your head, I get it I really do.

I'm always around if you need to vent rant and rage, or a shoulder.

Please be good to yourself

I am sorry for your pain.
I can relate to every word you.ve written. In fact, your post is a close description of how I feel, too.

Thanks, guys.

I'm having such a struggle to not be paranoid.

In so many ways. It's like people are playing games and messing with my head and either don't care or are purposely ******* with me. And I don't know why. They know I'm going down in flames. And so what? Their lives will just go on just the same. (This is about IRL stuff regarding the hearing.) I feel like an idiot believing anyone in this. What people say, and what they do (or rather, don't.. when will I learn?)

I don't know why I bother at all. Seems like crawling under a rock would be as effective.

Sorry.

Okay playa, please consider yourself benched. I don't know where this came from, I'm posting this 'cuz I want you to do your best at the SSDI hearing.

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”

This Monroe's quote don't mean nothing to me except the line that saids "... to trust no one but yourself...".

Being an alien freak may be the only option, robo talker/thinker wouldn't understand things the way some of us do. Some of things you said like "crawling under a rock" or "feeling that you're no use to anyone", these are not fact-ish, it is only plausible to trust few things in life, going against the system, the best attitude might be to try to sneak in, I don't mean to confuse you but lies are all around us and I refuse to be flipping out about these sort of things.

You're still gonna need to prep for the game two weeks from now. Practice balls and hoops, don't go offence dunk on yourself at this point please, review things real quick if you have to, don't get shook or it'll show. Doubts, cowardice, these can be a big hindrance to your performance, psych yourself up. The mixed state of your mind, the knowable is almost the only thing you can count on.
