hi lovely readers! even the ghost readers i see u. cant hide forever. anyways im sorry about not updating like at all whoops. i write entirely on my macbook and i have to leave it at my dads house now because my mom has a fun little habit of reading through all my messages! and i can't delete them from here in time so yeah.
anyways, if i'm being completely and 100% transparent i've also been struggling a lot lately. theres a constant looming feeling that all my friends are planning to drop me, which is weird because as a kid, i was always super social and made friends easily with zero anxiety. maybe this is just part of growing up. if it is i want to be a child again!
this parts not so fun. my relationship with my parents (mom) has taken a turn for the worse, and the way she tries to fix that is by doubling down on rules, hence me getting my phone taken away etc etc. i promise it may not sound like a lot but theres just other small rules and loopholes etc i feel like im in communist russia and i cant say anything and all my conversations are monitored. again i know there are other people out there going through stuff 100x worse than my life but sometimes it can be tricky.
so yes, my mental health has not been at its peak recently. unfortunately, how i decided to handle that was sh. NO i am not proud of myself. part of me thinks i did it as a cry for help, but then when anybody asks me about it i just say "my cat scratched me" or i wear bracelets to cover the marks.
truth is i'm just not brave enough to talk to anybody about how i'm feeling. growing up, i was taught to push your feelings down and just make it home, where then your pent up emotions come out as aggression towards your family, and you end up saying something to your kid you wish you could've said to your boss. it's fucked up, but what can i do.
cont. in replies xx
