How are you feeling?

Anxiety's been rising this week. Not wanting to do anything but stay in bed. The depression's "itching" to come back .. i can feel the black dog's breathe on the hairs of my neck. All that's changed is it's gotten colder. :sad:
 
I am getting lonelier and lonelier and...... lonelier. :sad:

I honestly thought it would improve over time, but it just gets deeper and deeper. :confused:

Depressed. Lonely. Tired of being ordered around by my mum. :kickingmyself: Slowly losin' the will to live.
Y'know, yer typical "Day in the life of..." stuff that every only son experiences. :sad: :crying:

Lonely, depressed, the usual. Why do I torment myself with these little glimpses into other peoples' lives? I should just wall myself up and be done with it.

Yeah, being/feeling very lonely is not nice. :sad:

I must FIGHT to not get depressed, or even to not get AS depressed. As i don't know if i can handle another depression. I might feel like throwing the towel in.

Relief, coupled with guilt. Should really feel bad for secretly not really missing my mum as much as my oldest sibling? Does me secretly going: Awww, thank f**k! make me a heartless person? :sad: I don't think so, considering how she's treated me over the years, and continues to do so.
 
Spending today trying to avoid a potential oncoming depression. The feeling of anxiety & not wanting to do anything, coupled with a bored/restlessness; very tricky to find "the sweet spot" .. but i have PUSHED myself today, to take ACTION rather than stay in inactivity. The mood isn't the type where it "fixes itself" over time. It's also got that "cold" feeling to it (along with the physical coldness of winter - ie cold in more ways than one) .. which seems to happen right before depression.

Been listening to "CHOIR sings OM SO HUM Mantra" (youtube) for past couple hours, along with a steady bass tone (program), and the sound of waves/fire/blizzard (program). Overall a steady soothing diversional sound-scape. Still feeling somewhat anxious, but not as much.

Also having a few beers, as the hops tends to reduce my anxiety. And chocolate, a proven mood booster.

Now having a vodka mixer, to try to "warm my cockles"; trying to regain that safe/warm feeling, or to rid the feeling of running terrified from the unknown (my general anxiety).

'This too shall pass' has never felt real to me, always just a fantasy future. To me, it's been an eternity of misery & hopelessness from now onwards, & only upon death doth it pass.

Now after another LOVELY day of constant suffering, i'm playing this:

The feeling of going STIR CRAZY when alone, & NEEDING company, but none available (not even phone for now).
Alcohol + heavy metal = after day of torture. See, i can do the math .. CAN YOU???

To think i "made do" with basically just hard/heavy rock for many years, & only "smidgens" of heavy metal (eg metallica, iron maiden, judas priest, cypress hill .. to name a few). I made-do with what i had, what i knew, what i got given to me by a mad schizophrenic guy. In fact, i SEROULSLY wonder WHY he wasn't into hard-core heavy metal, just rock & softer; maybe it would have been "voices overload"? Too many voices in the headspace?

Here's a bottle of pills. And here's another. Oooooh, i wonder what do with them??????????????

I'll see jackie (my councellor) ... and then return to misery ... perhaps it's my destiny ... to be all alone at sea ... just me and the mystery??? (PiP, Poetry in Progress ... <SUSPENDED>)

My life SUCKS BIG TIME!!! NOTHING WORKS. FOREVER in this pit of misery, severe limitation, hopelessness, helplessness & dread.
One of these days, SURELY, i will lose all patience with this hopeless, pathetic, lame life ... and FINALLY take the drastic measures i should have done as a CHILD. :question:

My old man's like the devil, flitting around innocently, always evading blame for any wrongdoings, & never getting caught in the act. A sly evil calculating secretive trickster. Attacking me opportunistically, whenever such a situation occurs. Things going missing around the house, or things moved, or things broken - it's him, but i can't prove it. He does it to "attack" me (annoy me, upset me, make me feel anxious, etc). I KNOW it's him (for most of the times anyway), i just never catch him in the act, so can't "prove" it. He does things impulsively & opportunistically, without thinking too much, but thinking enough to be calculating. :mad:

Getting a wee bit too worked-up now.

^ Exactly!! :thumbup:
Any current turmoil may 'pass' eventually, but then something else bad just comes along not long after to replace it!

Maybe bad things happening constantly is not normal for the people who give the untrue advice of "Things will get better". :idontknow:

Those people have no idea how lucky they are!!!!! :sad:

The guilt I walk with everyday for not being able to help those around me that need it just kills me to the core. My intentions are good but what does that matter if you can't put them into action? If I can't have some kind of a turnaround before this year is done then I will be convinced that it just wasn't meant to be.
