I don't know what it is about this time period, but I feel really down almost 24/7, but also sometimes I'll be happy as a lark. Sometimes I feel muted, like I'm in a monochrome bubble, only viewing the world through a window. And sometimes I just feel so unbearably wrong.
I hate it so much.
Yesterday, via an at-home covid test, I got a positive confirmation for SARS-COVID. Now I've been feeling down/off for the last week, or so, so I know that isn't the main cause, but I'd be stupid to say being diagnosed with a rampant virus that is the source of the world's temporary collapse isn't stressful. i probably will recover in around a week, but it doesn't stop me from cursing the world.
I hate myself sometimes. I don't know why. All my faults just come piling up ontop of my mind and it snaps under the strain. It all comes crashing down and I feel like Atlas, bearing the weight of the world on a lonely mountain peak with nobody at all.
I feel like I'm too dramatic.
I feel like I bother people.
I feel completely inadequate when my friends call my smart or intelligent.
I feel like a complete klutz when it comes to most positive emotion and i don't even know WHY!
I had a mostly normal childhood; loving parents, older brother, etc. I was and am more introverted and socially awkward, so a few friends.
When I was little I tried to force myself to embody "popular" traits, like common humor, extroversion, connection, etc. I tried to be a social butterfly, and by 4th grade I knew for certain that wasn't my forte. It didn't stop me from embarrasing myself miserably with my fourth-grade nonexistent sense of humor, but I recognized I don't like large groups of people.
By now, I'm a highschooler who's lowest grade is a B, which I only have one of, and one B+, but the rest of my subjects are A. Pretty decent I guess.
Ran out of characters, I'll copy/paste the rest on a new one.
