Suspended my studies because the depression became too much for me to study, then stupidly forced myself to move to Brazil for a teaching internship so I could just shake myself out of this stupid slump.
That's all it is, right? A slump I'll be able to just climb out of, if only I wasn't so fucking whiny & could just get over myself, already.
I'm so sorry. I'm trying to stop being a burden, I really am.
I'm trying so hard to rid myself of all these personal flaws, but all these failures are just so exhausting.
Take the introversion, for example. Being forced to be constantly surrounded by other people (at work, even having a roommate) is really taking its toll- having to lock myself into the kitchen at 3am right now, just so I can have a moment to myself, is not much fun (the fact that the windows don't have blinds or curtains makes me nervous, even though I'm not doing anything bad...)
I guess I'm also not as helpful of a person as I thought I was- my partner of 3 years was going through a really bad depressive episode, & I've always done my best to be there for him, through the thick & thin. I finally broke though, & half confessed that I tried to commit suicide recently. He replied when I was travelling, so I couldn't check his response till I got home- he gets hurt about that & calls me a selfish bitch because me being upset is 'probably just because [I'm] on my period again' since you know, suicide attempts are never that big of a deal right?
I'm tired of always doing the wrong thing- of not being able to bottle things up well enough, and of always having my nervous breakdowns at the wrong time.
How do I stop myself from being so overly emotional?
How do I start being a better person (instead of this pathetic excuse for one)?
