So i haven't been on in a while because of changing from home into college
and i moved north into a colder climate. We all know that weather affects each of us in some way and my worst is when its cold.
my stress finally got to me this weekend....
i feel so useless. I struggle to even make my day last longer than 3 hours before im running low on energy
noone understands the stress of not having your meds (my mom has yet to mail them to me) dealing with college and grades (though much easier than high school) and money problems where i barely have money to keep food in the dorm.
i'm stress i have alot going on and hit my breaking point over the weekend
i hurt myself realized what i did was wrong and told my roommates because i thought it wouldve been the right thing to do. Now their going off telling everyone and making it worse and it's just stressing me out more!
I know i made a mistake and I know there are prolly better ways i couldve handled it. I wasn't suicidal by any means but i felt that causing pain physically would ease the stress mentally. Talking and crying and all that only help so much. I can't work out because it will make me pass out.. I was trying to find a way to make myself feel better that wouldn't essentially end up killing me...
I admitted what i did was wrong. I know i shouldn't have done it. I'm not intending to do it again so why can't it just be let go. Their just adding more stress on top of it all and making it worse!
And i feel it's all because of stupid LUPUS!
I'm 18 and my health is worse than my grandmothers who's pushing 90. Do you know how bad that hurts? noone understands i want to give up sometimes and i keep trying to push forward and go somewhere with my life.
I'm sorry i made a mistake. I was wrong. It's not like i was trying to kill myself. We all know with the amount of meds we end up with it's not something hard to do. But i'm not that far. I'm not at a point of giving up life. just trying to push forward and try. (kinda end up being a little vegetable who hides at home and doesn't do anything.)
Has anyone ever been to this point or able to relate?
Can anyone give me some advice? I have noone to turn to. Family won't understand. Friends cant imagine what it's like. Therapists are like talking to walls. I wish there was someone who was near to me that had the same problems and understood who can truly say ive been there i know how it feels. To have someone who can turn to me and say i know where you are and when i was there i wish i wouldve had someone to say this to me.
There are many who try to say turn to god and pray and not to be disrespectful but A) i'm not religious and B) i feel like it does even less than talking to a therapist because at least with a therapist there's a verbal response.
I just can't keep going on like this. It's to much. I don't wanna be me anymore. I wish i was normal. I wish things were better. I wish there was a cure and i wish there were better ways to manage it!
sorry for the rant
and sorry for worrying those who know me on here
i needed a place to vent. Where comments could be said and people know what it's like to be at an all time low.
Thanks for the ear to talk to.
and I promise i'm better now to where i won't be hurting myself anymore. the stresses that pushed me over my limit are taken care of but the stress of lupus still has me rather stressed. but i promise i'm ok.
