Happiness and love is but a fleeting moment, it comes and slowly fades but hatred, anger - these things stay forever. We latch to them and pursue them how we will. The human mind is naturally pessimistic.
When I was younger I had the idea for those I respect - I always said I do not want to be loved by them, for if I am to be hated I will never be forgotten. Its damn true too, when I was ill I was a wreck, caused chaos everywhere I went. There's people out there I can't even remember. I look five million times different than I did when I was younger and somehow - they all still remember me.
My early teenage years were hell as well.
I made the mistake of pursuing it (suggest you don't do this) - it was really to the point I didn't care anymore. No one understood, I couldn't communicate or understand. Lord, I tried everything. The more I tried to understand and personalize the 'weirder' I got, the more 'emotionally unstable' I came off as, the more I didn't understand the more I just kind of wanted to blow my brains out.
I acted on wants and desires, became something horrible. Lived on with the guilt that I was a waste, scum, became comfortable with the idea that I'd die in a ditch somewhere. It was a mess, I'll spare the details.
From my experience though; cutting, drugs, all of these things. They're just temporary. Its tempting to indulge when times are rough - to look for that easy exit. The reality is though, there is no easy exit. Somehow, the world keeps moving and we survive.
Being in these situations, they're no good for people like us. They're really no good for anyone.
Its hard when you don't understand exactly why you feel what you feel.. if you're even feeling. I can't personalize anything or else it just gets so muddled and confusing, kind of like living in a haze isn't it? Unsure where the hell this agony is from, angry that you're weakened by such tedious things like social surroundings. Angry that you just can't seem to get it. Gets really hard.
I really don't know how to get around this and I'm not going to tell you to stop, I for one know the power of human will and their mind. I didn't listen to anyone - why would you? The point is, I'm sure you know there's others out there that have been through it. I'm not asking you to acknowledge that, however.. more less focus on the one's that have been there and got through it.
Some encouraging words, hang in there
There is a lot of strength here and if you want to, you can make through it.
If not - be well on the other side, or ground.. whatever it is you believe.
You're already ahead in the game to come here and seek to sort them out rather than act on impulse. Good sign of maturity and wise move. Good luck.
