I am lonely

:same:

I went on a big solo road trip through the southwest last week which was pretty awesome but cried several time because I realized how I’ve set up my life where I spend a lot of my time alone, and I try and defend it to myself as being independent, but that’s kind of BS. I really just spend a lot of time alone, drinking too much, getting fat, and not seeking out the relationships that could bring me happiness because I have a massive fear of people leaving probably because that’s what my dad did when I was a little kid. Oh and I’m still hung up on the last person I did let into my life fully because she did exactly what I was afraid of!

Anyways, probably need to get back on antidepressants and get into some therapy again. The one thing that trip really helped with was realizing how loving exhausting it is to constantly berate and feel bad about yourself.

Comedians do help me remember that I’m not alone in this and that, in the right context, depression is pretty funny really.

I have only cried at work twice. Once during training because I had to learn a 5 months training course in about a month and scared I would be loving up.

Then today a year later because work has just gotten absolutely insane. And its because I found a major problem.

Kinda pulling my hair out and trying my best to relax and play videogames to unwind. But I cant stop thinking about it.

Yeah, I'm going through something similar right now, the training in one month instead of five definitely sound familiar.
Maybe I didn't cry about it, although I think I get why workplace murders happen now.

About 20 years ago I started babysitting for two families, I met the parents when I was a college student, and they were professors, and ended up being a nanny / babysitter for both of them. I was very close to the families and the kids were young, and watched one family for 5 days a week for about 2 years. Of course is the kids got older and went into kindergarten and school, I saw them a lot less, sometimes only once a month. One family's two daughters graduated last december, and about a year ago, and I've had very little contact with them other than online. But it's still fun to see them at college, in another country, living their best life.

The oldest of the other family just graduated high school yesterday. When I texted her to congratulate her, she thanked me for being such an important part of her life, and that she knew I didn't have to keep much contact with them after I was no longer the babysitter, but still made attempts to keep involved, taking them to the zoo, having fun art days, and always making sure they got birthday and Christmas presents, that I didn't need to do any of that but I did, and so I am the coolest person she knows.

the trick when you feel a cry coming on is to simply feel better.

this won’t work on tears of joy, however. there may be no solution to that one.

Gutentag Mein Raven

I had a brief and awkward text conversation with someone who I used to be really close to last night. It was her 40th birthday recently. Wasn't there but I sent a card, probably more out of obligation than anything. This person and I were close. I called her my best friend. Thought the world of her. She really helped me at some important times. Of course for various reasons the dynamic changed quite a bit, and I wouldn't say we're even remotely close anymore. Lots of anger and hurt, etc. Like when you start to just calcify towards someone because they found a way to hurt you in a way you never knew you could be hurt. And you lose something in that process of calcification, until you realize that what you miss as much as that person is the part of you you let yourself be around them. And you can't really have either back, because that's life sometimes.

Anyway, I'd cry over that relationship, if I let myself anymore.

just to be clear, IMO if you aren't ever crying, that probably isn't any better than crying all the time. That poo poo is a release, and at least for me, when I didn't allow that release, it led to a series of panic attacks Have yourselves a good cry.

Silly goose, you're here forever.

Talking to my therapist about ADHD coaching and how all my previous experiences with treatment for ADHD have basically been "make more lists and if you can't make lists take prescription meth until you can."

There's more to it than that but holy poo poo both 1990s ADHD treatment and current pop psychology ADHD treatments are more dehumanizing than just living with being a chaotic gremlin who can't remember to file taxes on time and has to pay late fees.

Why are you texting or contacting someone like this you loving creep?
Don't do that.
What the gently caress is wrong with you people?

"I knew this would disturb them and cause me an infinite spiral of melancholy at the very least and so, ever the optimist, I did it." gently caress off.
