Colorful and hopefully optimistic but maybe hateful occasionally

My best friend feels angry that I'm not taking care of my mental health. Especially the wanting small cute items.

I don't want to trouble anyone, seriously. I'm just exhausted. All the self worth I gained is gone. I feel gutted and the next best thing to do is to be physically gutted.
 
It does help.

I'm very worried I'm going to be going to jail sometime next year. Hopefully not, but justice doesn't really care about people slipping through the cracks. They care more about setting examples. And I'm an idiot and a half.

But anyway, if it's a long time, if it happens at all, I'm going to be prioritizing my animals, as always. I'll have to pay someone for their care. And consider suicide if one of them begins to die of old age and I'm not nearby. Just to make sure I'm supporting them somehow.

I did tell that to my best friend. He did a fast sigh that I think meant he was mad/frustrated that I'm mentally ill and considering suicide again. I mean, I have been and I'm sure that's extremely frustrating. I just don't want to traumatize him by doing that suddenly without warning. He basically told me I need to see my therapist. Haven't seen her in three months, but I don't want to again. Nothing wrong with her, I'm just not vibing and feel, uh. well, she took five months? I don't know time, but several months to write a letter for me that I needed for my housing voucher, which I now might loose because it took so long. So I don't know. And I don't want to ask for a third therapist at the same place, nor do I feel I deserve it, nor can a therapist help anymore. I recognize that that's going to sound like a cognitive distortion, but genuinely what the f*ck would a therapist even do at this point?

I've been in therapy pretty much my entire life, from childhood to now, long enough to see all the trends as the singular popular psychologists write books with new theories or whatever. My group therapist asks me often why I sound like a therapist all the time to the other group members. I guess because there's not much else to do at this point.

I'm barely a husk of what I was. I feel like the longer I live the more "corrupt" I become with flaws/traumas/etc and I just want to go back to some version of myself I don't hate. Essentially I want to be someone else. And I can't be that person while I'm alive anymore. There's not a future a care about anymore.

I'm sure it's extremely frustrating to read that.

When I told my best friend I was worried about my cats, he essentially let me know I should have thought of that before. Which is true. It's just my brain is damaged now and I'm an idiot.

I did get an ambulance called on me. Like I said, it was easy to make them go away. Being suicidal isn't a crime. And I'm not going to be taken to another hospital that's just going to leave me in the waiting area for weeks, without access to my animals or my family or friends, while they refuse to give me my medication, or in my last case even a bed. Just being on the floor in a triggering situation they were literally punishing me for daily (not even giving food I could eat, for the second time (happened twice because hospitals don't care)), because they wouldn't give me my medication.

Only to take me to some hospital eventually and release me, often within a couple of days, because they can't treat me or say im already on all the medications and there's no need to change them.

So yeah, tired of cooperating with paramedics. They want to help, I appreciate that. The cops wanted to help too. Most of them seemed perfectly nice and genuinely concerned. I appreciate that too. But they are wasting their energy on me. And I'm sick and tired of constantly being in the system with no real help. It's ridiculous that I'm still having these problems anyways.

I haven't hated myself this much in a long time. But if that's how it has to be, then fine. It's fine.

Sometimes you want a little Aslan the lion or whatever to show up and help you fix it or at least tell you there's some reason to try to be happy again while alive. I don't know.

Reminds me a little bit of what happened with not wanting medical care for my lost fingertip last week though. Degloved and also partly chopped off. Been caring for this feral cat who, long story short, got confused about the strength he could use for his warning bite due to me wearing stab-proof sleeves while working with him. Good boy, wasn't his fault. Can explain more of someone is curious enough. Probably the third most excruciating pain I've ever felt.

Felt too dumb to go to the hospital about it. So I didn't. Eventually went to a local clinic for antibiotics though because it was swollen, but yeah, farmer blood in me doesn't want to go for stupid reasons. Especially while I still have work to do.

Waited until 6pm that day because I had a lot of work to do before then. And skipped the re-check three days later because I had more work to do, and was exhausted anyway lol

But anyway. Hopefully good news happens somewhere at some point.
 
I did ask my best friend if we are still friends and he said yea. I just really feel like he isn't benefiting and is in fact in worse shape for supporting me. He said that wasn't true or else he would just stop being my friend, because he has boundaries. I am trusting that.

He said he wasnt mad at me as much as he was that I'm not trying to get better in certain ways. Understandable.
 
Oh, hey, welcome back :)

And thank you. Sorry, I couldn't bring myself to say it to you in DMs. Been too stressed for friends. The site owner came out as loving trump btw lol
 
I slept through my psychiatrist appointment again. Could barely stay awake to say anything about it to the receptionist. She sounded very frustrated at me.

They didn't tell me it was supposed to be an in-person appointment, which is part of why I slept through it. Fell asleep waiting for the email. When saying that though, fell back into old habits and just politely said I must have forgotten. Defending myself for the neurologist office didn't work, but I don't think this did either because she did what she did last time and said he went out of his way for me so I should feel bad for missing. Indirectly saying I'm not respecting him. Well, the paperwork wouldn't have needed to be done last minute if (a) the paralegal didn't wait three months to tell me she never got a response, (b) my psychiatrist had checked his email and actually responded to it, and (c) if my therapist hadn't waited nearly five months to complete a letter I had been trying weekly to ask her to written as soon as physically possible.

The director knows I have narcolepsy/sleep disorders. But it always gets me in trouble anyways.

And I'm exhausted and don't have the strength to deal with it anymore. I just wanted safe housing. Frequently I've waited in the waiting room for these people to help other patients with emergencies like this. But they will not do the same for me. And if they do, I now owe them... Not having narcolepsy? Knowing intrinsically that they changed an appointment to in-person without telling me, despite me having it that way because I kept not being able to come in because there's no public transportation and I'm tired of falling asleep at the wheel?

And I don't have a service dog anymore. She's still alive somehow, but she can't work.

I just told the receptionist not to worry about it. I was considering stopping meds anyway. I couldn't stay awake for the call either. Can't remember what she said because I fell asleep during it

I am tired of the meds, though. I think they're not helping and just making me worse. I remember a previous doctor being concerned that someone like me has so many meds for a young person. I checked the side effects and I'm not thrilled. I think I'm getting all the bad effects and none of the good ones. I'm so frustrated and depressed and tired, and I feel unloved, unsupported, alone, and like I specifically don't deserve the treatments. I don't belong here and my mental health has literally never been worse

I wish they had helped when I asked them to. My mom literally might still be alive right now if they had
