Atra Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 A waking up slowly morning, I didn't get out of bed until 11am. Shopping, worked on the newsletter for my support group, social time on Zoom, worked with a friend to update support group rules, made a taco salad, listened to a podcast about grief, watched TV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JarrodM Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I went to work. I didn't want to, but I did it. The problem with my job is that I have to be an extrovert when I am a complete introvert. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sober4life Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I need to make some slime. I'd love to go to the store covered in slime. As long as I wear a mask I should be fine. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While "normal" people go crazy hanging pictures in their apartments and posting selfies and pictures with friends/family online I have long ago deleted all pictures that I appear in. Online I'm like a ghost, only my LinkedIn pic is out there and that's set to private. My existence is bad enough, best to leave no traces and not to remind myself of how ugly I am. I hate my face and so does everybody else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing left to remind me of my childhood and no trace online except for here. I want no trace of me left because I hate myself. I'm hoping this is my last year in this world.

Can't say that my parents kept anything but I know where you're coming from, my worldly possessions fit into 2 suitcases. Every time I moved I threw everything away or destroyed my things in a fit of rage, even things that meant something to me. An act that would hurt a normal person, it was almost pleasurable to me, as if i was erasing part of my miserable existence. Now I'm down to the bare minimum, de-facto homeless with few possessions... To think that 10 years ago I had an apartment stuffed with expensive things I too hope that this is my last year in this world, there is absolutely no point in me sticking around other than the fact that I'm a coward.

I get pleasure from it too because there isn't anything that brings back good memories. There are no good memories. I've failed at everything in life and burnt every bridge to ground all through life. I don't blame people for not wanting to come here because I don't even want to be here. Every picture I was uncomfortable in and miserable in the situation I was in. I was forced to take my picture. Never in my life have I asked to have my picture taken because there has never been a moment I wanted to remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you. Luckily I don't really have to worry about anyone outside of immediate family taking pictures, about the only times people took pictures of me was out of courtesy because they assumed I'd want to be in them but somehow I always seemed to be missing from their social media posts, coincidence? I think not... At the end of the day I am glad though, I don't need to remember my past and what a failure I am. The present is painful enough as it is.

JD4010 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I dragged my carcass to the office. I didn't sleep well and when the alarm went off, I felt like I had been run over by one of those street sweeper vehicles. My eyes feel like they have sand in them and my mind is all fogged in. But I came to work anyway because otherwise I'd have felt "guilty". Like @lonelyforeigner and @sober4life, I hate my own appearance. I have since I was a little kid. I've torn up plenty of pictures of myself over the years. I also hate mirrors because then I have to come face to face with my ugliness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) I'm trying to find a pet. I found one dog named Beauty that looks angry in her picture. She might be perfect. It's funny though I'm sure they try and try to take pictures of the animals and the only one they can get is an angry picture.I found a horse too. Maybe I should get a horse.

sober4life Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I'm rearranging my house throwing things away burning things you know but the thing my mind wants gone is me. There is no point where there is order to things. There is no moment of peace for me ever! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
