Some thoughts/kinda venting
Posted 9 years agoThis journal is gonna have personal drama stuff so if you don't care about that stuff don't read ahead..
I'm probably making a mistake and causing more problems for myself typing out this journal but at this point I just need to get it out I guess.
So about a little over a year ago, around christmas times, I decided I would sign up to MapleMoon's patreon as I've always really liked her art and I was feeling quite down at the time and I wanted to give myself a gift. I didn't really have any friends and I don't have any contact with my family so christmas is always really tough and I just wanted something for myself. As a big fan of the warcraft universe and really enjoying the fanart people have made of their characters I ended up getting the first drawing of my WoW character Vyndra drawn. I didn't really have any big plans for her, she didn't really have much of a backstory or anything like that at the time, she was just kinda the closest possible I could get a character to be like me.
Something amazing happened after the drawing was finished, that I would never think possible when it happened. People actually showed an interest in her, and I even had someone reach out to me and being interested in getting to know me. As we talked together we ended up bonding and started caring a lot about each other, and I started getting excited to see that person every day. We could talk about almost anything. At some point they introduced me to FA, where I would start getting to know more people and gaining new friends. Things were starting to become great for me and I would be happier that I had been in a long time.
Sadly it didn't stay great for too long. I would get periods where I would get really insecure all the time. I've been struggling with my mental health for years now and one of the things that happens is I can just suddenly get an idea stuck on my brain which I'll convince myself is real. Say for example someone I know is busy with something and I don't really see them for a while, I can get the idea that the reason I haven't talked to them is because they don't actually like me and they actively avoid me. A lot of the time this idea is hard to shake and it usually ends up causing a lot of tension with that person. It's why I don't really have many friends that can be bothered to put up with me, usually the ones that stick around are the ones I can keep it hidden from.
To begin with this wasn't a huge issue, the person I was so close to would support me even when I did really horrible things. However at some point I guess they just got exhausted trying to put up with me, especially when they have their own life to deal with. At the moment I feel like I'm stuck in an insecurity loop, where I will cause tension and push them away with my insecurites which only makes me more insecure which just makes things worse and so on. I think a lot about killing myself and sometimes I threaten to do it, so that I will stop hurting and stop bothering the people that care about me. I think the people around me feels like they are responsible for keeping me alive, which in a sense is true since they make me want to keep living.
Sometimes I wish I didn't meet any of the people I care about, that I would just remain alone like I used to be. If I never got to know them then I couldn't be hurt and feel scared about losing them, and they wouldn't have to worry about me all the time either. These days I feel like all I bring is misery and sadness to everyone around me.
I don't really know what to do at this point. It feels like no matter how hard I try and how much I want things to be better, ultimately I just make things worse. I'll probably end up going to bed, and lay there thinking about death until I pass out in exhaustion. As much as I think about it and wish for it, I don't really want to die.
If I haven't scared you off by this point then thank you for reading. I hope everyone has a good 2016. Good Night, and I'll see you around later..
