A letter from Mar 14, 2023

Time Travelled — 6 days

Peaceful right?

I seriously hate feeling like this, no matter how much I ignore it or whatever I do it somehow always circles back to randomly having these mental breakdowns desperately trying to stop crying. I'm so tired of this feeling, I have to wonder what I did to deserve this? I haven't done anything to anyone. I hate this, every time I think I'm starting to get a grip my depression randomly worsens again. I've tried to **** myself so many times I've lost count and failed each time. Why? I can't live but I can't die either. Everyone hates me, they make that painfully obvious so why won't the universe **** me one more time and just **** me already? Theres been so many times where I could've died, but no. I survived each time. It's not fair, the people who want and deserve to live end up dying, but the depressed and suicidal people who desperately want to die live. I'm at a point where I'm tempted to take a knife and **** myself over and over and over and over and over and over again until I can't anymore. At this point I just want someone to **** me brutally. I don't want to live anymore, I never did. I never wanted to live past 11 but here I am, 16 in a few days, still ******* breathing. ITS NOT FAIR WHY CAN'T I JUST DIE ALREADY?! I seriously want to start cutting myself again, every time I remember the happiness I felt with each cut and the adrenalin rush it gave me my temptation only grows. Therapy doesn't help, it only makes things worse, I'm sick of getting them when nothing helps. Everyone says "things get better" but they're liars. They all are. Nothing gets better, it never does, it only gets worse. That only gets proven with each year that passes. I'm so tired of taking these sleeping pills to sleep and taking them again as soon as I wake up. I'm tired of the insomnia, I'm tired of the paranoia, I'm tired of the fear induced hallucinations, I'm tired of it all. I'm tired of my friends, I wish they'd just leave me alone, I don't want them. My lifes a mess, I haven't even gone to school since 7th grade, my family hates me, people I went to school with give me dirty looks and talk **** about me both to my face and behind my back. Nobody gives a **** about me, they never did. Why would they? I don't even care about me. I spend more time in the world created in my head than I do in the real one, at least in there I have a family that actually cares. In that world people actually smile when they see me, I can do whatever the hell I want with no judgement. Who wouldn't want to live in a world like that? In that world my mothers dead and the rest of my family doesn't exist. I have an older brother and friends who genuinely love me. Something I never had and never will have in real life. ****, this is so pathetic, I seriously hate this. This is so hard to write, I would laugh at myself if I wasn't crying so damn hard. My fingers might as well have weights attached to them with how hard it is to press these damn keys. I think im just gonna overdose on these sleeping pills and go back to sleep. hopefully it ***** me. Happy birthday future me.

Sweetheart, I send you all the love possible, and I hope you are okay. There is still lots of beautiful sunrises and sunsets you deserve to see, lots of people to meet, and lots of things to love and that will love you back. I know I am no one entitled to give advice through a screen, but hold tight, although Inow it is exhausting. This could be the last time we, sort of, interact, but I hold you deeply in my heart. Take care of yourself, beautiful soul 🤍

Lol, you guys made me cry. Idk if you'll ever see this, but I'll put this here anyway.

Life still sucks really bad, but I recently left a psych ward and have been doing a little(?) better, I haven't abused any of my meds since leaving last month (well, mom has them so I can't anyway)

I'm still clean of self harm and attempted suicide, though its been really hard lately, and depressive episodes have lessened by a lot.

I cut a lot of toxicity from my life, and getting committed really slapped mom in the face so I haven't been badly abused since leaving, I still hate her a lot but even I have to (though, I hate to admit it) admit shes genuinely trying.

I haven't been taking the meds they gave me because they messed with them and they make me sick, also, my therapist is really mean to me, so were thinking of changing facilities and getting my meds fixed.

We also got a new cat :D

Overall, my mental health is still HORRIBLE, but I felt genuine, unforced, true, happiness for the first time in my entire life a few days ago, so I have to admit I'm doing a hell of a lot better.

I still struggle with suicidal ideation and really want to die, its also really hard to not cut myself, but I'm clean of both and doing my best to just keep on. Its just hard when strangers are the only people who seem to give a damn, you know?

Well, this is long enough, just thought I'd give an update. I am alive lol
