Here we go again...
I hate this feeling. I care a lot about people, but I'm just an extra... I pour my heart into being there for them, and they tell me that they care, but then when other people talk to them, maybe more interesting people, when they don't need me, they forget about me completely.
why
why do I smile
when I feel like dying?
that song by Keane captured the question so perfectly
I don't understand... I still don't
why I could be thinking about suicide, then smile and laugh, and even convince myself for a little while that I'm happy
but then when I'm alone
there's no distraction
there's no means of denying it
there's just me and the truth
I doubt anything anyone could say could make me feel less lonely

High-risk
12:46amI trust you not to do anything too reckless
12:46amwhat do you mean too reckless?
12:46ambecause
I know you care about me, and you wouldn't want to hurt me,
and if you did something to seriously hurt yourself, you
know you would hurt me
like something that would really, relaly hurt you
*really
12:47ambut "I" dont matter to me. You Matter to
me12:47amdoes what matters to me matter to you?
12:50amrepeat
that....through text though. im about to sign off and play
cod...... DONT TAKE ANY COUGH MEDICINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
did you get that?12:50amyes12:51amok i had to sign out then
sign back on
you matter more to me than i matter to me... does that make
sense?
12:51ambut
if what matters to me matters to you, and you matter to me,
you should matter to you
I am kind of out of it, admittedly. I couldn't sleep last
night...
12:53amgrrrr.... just text me then.....
~~~
I text him, "I was just thinking.. Your anger seems to be causing a lot of your troubles.. Would you like to learn to control it better?"
He says, "Look, I was just kidding about the grr thing."
I say, "I don't mean about that.. I mean about why you're going to court..."
"You sound like my therapist."
"... Do you think your anger is even really an issue?"
"Stop."
"Sorry :( i didn't mean to hurt you"
"You didnt. Just chill out. You're getting too personal. I just smoked a bowl and discussing all that would definitely kill it."
Maybe a sane person would get out now.
~~~
...
I also know he has a tendency to lie. He was dishonest to me about the fact he was going to court, he was dishonest to me about why he was sick(later telling me the truth, prolly for me to put more trust in him), and there are probably a lot more things he is dishonest with me about. He is very controlling, and he is scared that I may leave him, and that is what I fear may be the greatest risk. He may eventually resort to whatever means he can manage to posess me. He tells me what he thinks I want to hear, revealing some personal truths along the way, growing more attached to me with every truth he divulges, and subsequently feeling a greater need to control me to make sure I, his source of comfort, do not leave him. He is afraid if I know how he really is, I won't want to be involved with him... Somehow I need to communicate to him that it isn't true, but that he needs to respect my boundaries. This will be a challenge and instigate a necessary personal growth in myself that I've been needing for awhile... to become more assertive. If I don't start to stand up for myself, things will end badly and I know it. Luckily I am at least aided with my wit an intuition... and I do believe I can heal him, but I can definitely feel how great of a challenge this will be...
First thing's first, I need to discover if he actually has the desire to change. His anger was what got him into trouble, and if he feels remorse about it, he should want to change. If he feels no remorse, he will say he is content with how he is and that it isn't an issue, and if that is the case, I need to tread even more carefully, because there is a distinct possibility he has a personality disorder. If not borderline, anti-social. If he realizes how much I actually know, that may also cause him to feel a greater need to control me to regain the upperhand, so I have to play dumb to a certain extent to throw off his suspicions and anxieties... But because I care about him, I will take a risk and try to put an end to his self-defeating behaviors through helping him understand what his behavior implies. I know he's smarter than he seems. I know he realizes I'm smart. I know he doesn't realize how smart I am. I'm not so sure myself how smart he is, but I am very wary now.
As for me, is this compulsion to help people because I'm codependent and I have a need to be needed? Not exactly. I am not selfless. I also help people to distract myself from my own pain that I have limited control over, and even because it makes me happy to see others happy because I empathize with them. I'm not a saint, I'm not a hero, I'm nothing close. I'm a regular humanbeing just the same as any of you out there, but I realize the ways I have a power to make a difference, I know the ways I can do it, and I know which difference would best benefit the other based upon their preferences, and therefore maximize my own benefit, because rarely do I feel my own happiness when I'm in the middle of depression. I have to take an alternative approach if I want to be proactive. I'm also trying different things to directly address my problem, but until I find a permanent fix, I'll work with the resources I have to make my life a little more bearable.
I've heard love is accepting a person as they are without feeling compelled to change them, so maybe what I feel for him isn't love. How could I love somebody who claims to care about me, but whose actions reflect solely with their own self-interest? I need to figure out whether he is being deliberately deceptive, or if he truly doesn't realize what it means to care about somebody...

Would it matter if my struggle finally ended?
Is there even any point to it?

Well..
Sunday, September 5, 2010
I keep trying to limit myself in ways I'm not truly limited.. I do that to more firmly establish my sense of identity, but is it because it's too overwhelming for me if I wasn't just "myself"? How could I make decisions that way, I guess.. and that could cause anxiety.
It's actually not as hard as I would like to believe it is to completely revert back into another form, but I think that's the problem.. I'm way too adaptable.. to the point that I can't tell which way feels best to me personally.
Tonight I will do some soul searching,regardless of the potential risks.
Thursday, September 2, 2010
I know I will always care about you, even if everybody else drops of the end of the planet.
Remember how I asked you what you thought would happen if you spoke softly?
When you responded that the ones who truly cared would listen, and I proceded to ask why you continue to speak loudly, if you understood that?
I know it's the understanding that few would hear you, and fewer would care what you have to say.
I know it's because you're scared that people care a lot less about you than you need.
I know it's because you're afraid people don't need you, maybe that they won't be there for you.
I know what it means to fear being worthless..
"Please, it doesn't grieve.
Even if the world doesn't permit you, I permit you.
Please, it doesn't grieve.
Even if you do not permit the world, I permit you.
Therefore, please teach.
When you do very, could you permit me?"
No matter what, even if you hate me, even if there was nobody, please at least have faith in me that I will always be here to listen, and even though I have trouble trusting people, even though it scares the crap out of me to allow myself to need somebody, I'm allowing myself to trust you, and that means I'll never not care again..
The main reason I care about you so much is because you're like me in ways I haven't even found a way to explain yet. I identify with you.
It's hard to describe the pain I feel when I know what it's like to have nobody respond when you do finally take the risk of speaking softly. For many years, I received no response. I found again and again the people who mattered most to me didn't care about me at all.. and so I grew wary of people. I told myself I didn't need people, and decided to try my best to become independent, and self-reliant,because people were inconsistent, and they couldn't be trusted to not destroy me if I put my faith in them. All love meant to me was pain, because I had no understanding that there was a better definition to be learned, so I mistrusted that, as well.
I didn't think I was hurt, either.. being hurt was to need, and if I admitted I had needs, then I would have to admit.. that the pain was mine, and that was unbearable.
..and you know, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm SO wrong, and maybe we don't have much in common, and maybe.. I'm just defective. Maybe I'm in denail. Maybe I am alone in this, and maybe you truly don't need me in any respect, making me nothing more than a burden to you. Maybe all I ever was is a burden, but this burden still cares about you more than it could ever describe and if you ever needed me, I would still be here. If you didn't need me, I'll still be here.. and if you don't want to talk to me, I'm still here. Even if I didn't need you, I would care about you, and it would kill me slowly to put you through the exact same things I went through, so because I am learning to not fear being weak, I choose to need you.
Even if nobody else cared about you, I would care about you.
Even if you had nobody else, you would have me.
Even if you have none, I will have needs.
And even if it kills me, I will still love you.
My biggest fear right now is that I'm not enough.
(a secret part of me is dying)

Love is chemical.
But what binds us?
Perhaps the truth is we need each other more than we realize, but the secret is that if we believe the words from our mouths, our relationship will unravel..
There are four words you could say to me, yet I could not say back:
"I don't need you."
..even if it may be true. If you knew that.. wouldn't you break? Isn't that your fear? But I can't let that happen, dear, because I care about you, and I need to not be in pain,the deterrent, which means I need to not hurt the ones I identify with. I may sound cold and systematic, and that's because I am. I'm nowhere near selfless because I am human, but I at least know better than pretending to be. What kind of denail do we keep throwing ourselves into?
~Heart of Fire -Innerpartysystem~
"Do you remember me from a better time?
Infatuation with each other can summarize
All this is tied to the love,
the love you had assumed would never die
I can't remember what I had said
something reminiscent of a relationship
it was easier to lack the truth
than tell you how I feel
But I will surround your heart with lies until the end
I remember you from a better time
conversations saturated with telling lies
all this comes back to the love,
the love the spoke with honest and pure eyes
Now I remember what I had done
something meaningful to get you to fall in love
it was easier to tell you everything you wanted to hear
but I will surround your heart with lies and it's a heavy burden on me,baby
a heavy burden I have never felt before.
Sit back,relax,recover.
A fine time for me to mention you
Get down,regret,and wonder
who ever really tells the truth?"

almost died last night. I'm only alive 'cause I chose to live,to take the pain and its glory with my sickening hero complex. Martyr complex, more like >_< 'cept my sacrifice is living, I know..
I'm still fading in and out,but shhhhhh... ;o

I love this type of friendship more than anything; the type where each person can grow from the other and there's just this kindling appreciation and caring.. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the whole wide world <3 because you know what? That's love. There's nothing greater.. Nothing. I am indebted. I'll fight every single demon that comes my way, trumph ever obstacle that causes me pain, prove her trust was just,be brave, and walk to the ends of the world,protecting the smile that illuminates her face and.. She's taking a risk in being my friend just the same as I'm taking a chance in trusting her.. She can depend on me. I'll never betray her,ever. I'll defend the space she's claimed in my heart with all the spirit I've got. Refortified by her kindness, I have the strength to carry on.

I've been better,but..
I'm not depressed necessarily,but I'm gonna venture to say I'm heading there. I don't want to make a habit of writing here only when I'm depressed,but at the same time.. I prolly need to.
I'm so scared.. that she doesn't really like me as a friend or a person, that she's getting tired of me.. that I'm wearing her down through my tendency to confess things.. that I should be able to just take upon myself,but unfortunately.. I can't. I seriously can't. I've tried,but it's a choice between somehow setting those things free or shutting myself away for eternity.. But I love her as a person,and I don't want to hurt her by saying those things.. the truth.. because they're things she shouldn't have to worry about. It should be my burden to bear.. I should be the silent martyr.. I wish I was stronger :(
Heh, the song "Hey Jude".. something told me to listen to that song,though I didn't really remember the lyrics.
Bawww... horrible.. this song is horrible because it makes me feel so much right now D;
It's so taxing to put my faith in people when it feels like there's so much to potentially lose.. I.. am risking so much.. she doesn't even realize how much my general faith in people has been shaped by her optimism and obvious innocence.. something that would only become apparent through being her friend. That connection is helping me come back to life.. yeah,for a long time I was dead. I couldn't afford to live.. not truly.. I was limited by my own fears,but.. I feel people like her are worth living for. People like her show me that love still exists in a world so cold. Without realizing it,she taught me that somehow,God is still watching over me,and that I'm not in this alone.
Graduating at the end of this year is going to hurt me so badly 3 Just because I'm going to be losing people like her.. in a way. I'm doing my best. I've gotta keep pushing,as always. Sure,it gets a little hard and really scary,but I'm not that weak. ..I think I need to learn to be less afraid to admit my weaknesses. >_<;
I'm overly pessimistic and anxious.
I'm super critical of myself.
I worry way the hell too much.
I relate too many things to myself.
I don't focus on other peoples' needs enough.
I spend too much time focusing on my own thoughts.
I don't listen with a clear mind enough.
I can't let things go as much as I should..
I'm too neurotic.
I'm probably too paranoid.
I'm too perfectionistic.
I'm too melodramatic.
I'm too prideful.
I'm too conceded.
I'm too sensitive.
I'm too over-analytical.
I'm too hypocritical in ways I probably don't even know enough of.
I'm too cowardly.
I'm too self-sabotaging.
I'm too self-righteous.
I'm too impressing with my values.
I'm too fixated on things that don't matter to people.
I'm too oblivious.
I'm too scared to make mistakes.
I'm too blinded by my hopes and aspirations.
I'm too absorbed in anything outside of the moment.
I'm too prideful to ask for help.
I'm too prideful to admit I really don't ask for help because I'm scared to death.
I'm too passive, in ways.
I'm too vulnerable.
I'm too redundant.
I'm too expecting.
I'm too assumptuous.
I blame too much.
I'm too much in denail.
I exaggerate way too much.
I'm too horrible..
I'm too stupid.. I can't even allow myself to be human when I try to promote it in other people.
I'm too oblivious.
I'm too inconsiderate.
I'm too pompous,if I think I can even judge anybody for being what they're born.
I'm too selfish,as I sit her absorbed in my faults when I could be helping the world or at least be making positive change somehow.
I'm too self-contradictory.
I'm too weak.
I'm too frustrating to myself.
I'm too much of a burden to others.
I'm too insecure.
I'm too aggrevating to myself.
Even god can't forgive myself for me. I'm condemning myself.. I want to forgive myself,but it doesn't change the feeling. How can I blame myself for this? I didn't choose this.. to feel this way.. please stop thinking T.T Please stop. Please.

Sometimes..
Sometimes I feel the only way to wake up is to end the dream.
Sometimes I feel like a puppet.. dangling from the stings of a twisted,sadistic marionette's tool.. and I feel like I am intentionally tricked into believing there's an inkling of a chance I could grasp the scissors that are always there,right out of reach.
But I know..
I know I'm getting tired of this sick little game. I know I cannot physically or spiritually tolerate it much longer. I know if I live in the afterlife and am allowed to reflect back on all of this,it couldn't possibly lead me to an insanity beyond what I already am experiencing,because there's nothing new I would learn.. no possibility that I could consider that could make me fear change... in this moment,even hell seems like a pleasant escape. No, even now I wouldn't make a deal with the devil, but I've been gradually losing control.. But I'll continue fighting to my death.
I know he cares..
Maybe my mind makes no sense,and frankly I'd rather feel so I knew exactly what I'm having to deal with...

Things have been too much for me lately.. Writing for hours cannot even begin to relieve the anxiety from my pressured thoughts. Everything becomes valuable to know,everything means nothing..to me...
I'm so frustrated I don't feel like trying to communicate anymore.. I can't force myself to, I'm ready to just turn inwards and cut myself away completely. I can't live without meaning when it's so much easier to die to seek it.

Reflecting on times long past..
Every day that passes is a reminder that time is running out and I'm beginning to feel a little cornered. I've been dealing with some pretty horrible depression lately, if it wasn't apparent. Suicidal thoughts continually run through my head;I'm trying my best to ignore them,but in times of weakness.. I want to regress. Regress back into my most pitiful state of being... I want to die, I want to live, I want to not know, I want to know,I want time to stop,but to not be wherever "here" is.
I never would have imagined I could relate so well to others with these thoughts.. Not truly. Not in the way that I can. Not in the way that I am. Everybody needs somebody sometimes. I am not above it. I don't want a relationship.. I really could care less, but what I need is a friend. I need somebody to whom I am not a faceless entity.. and I think I've discovered somebody like that. Somebody who.. I'd much rather listen to and talk with and I really.. They're just amazing. I've had this nagging suspicion about this person for years..
..I should talk less. I could sympathize more.

Balance
It's really quite a shame I go completely dellusional from time to time.. Some of my ideas might have been brilliant if I knew I was being dellusional and could figure out just how I was doing it.. but my trains of thoughts are too faulty at times, I can't trust my judgement. What I lack is a sense of continuity of self.
"Selective-Encoding Insight- Involving one to distinguish what is important in a problem and what is irrelevant. (i.e. filter)
Selective-Comparison Insight- Identifying information by finding a connection between acquired knowledge and experience.
Selective-Combination Insight- Identifying a problem through understanding the different components and putting everything together."
The first one is mainly my problem.. It leads to pointless obsessions and overstimulation.

nights on end
and it gets worse
with each passing
period of unrest
the divider between
my world and
theirs is starting
to dissolve back
into the nothingness
where my head
would rather be
reality,and I was no longer me. Nothing had value or purpose,and there was nothing to live for,nothing mattered. Everything was there,and I was even less
I keep remembering when I completely seperated fromthan a spectator... I was less than a puppet,totally seperate from thought and emotion,I resided in the moment proceeding.. There was no consciousness,n

Slowly I see myself becoming more like him..
But now, here I am. I see myself then through his eyes, and I see from where his irritation stemmed.. what fatal errors he made along the way,and the obstacles I must overcome as I try not to retrace his footsteps. Being so passive,as was he, I'm going to have to approach the situation on a whole different level, and I've known that. Every outlash would be a strike at myself.. I felt that way with Maria,too. Walking on eggshells... When people are so fragile, we have no idea what little thing could cause them to break,even if it's not our fault they're made of porcelain. I don't want people to say they understand this,because they don't. I am always ambiguous for a reason;so people DON'T try to relate. I was hoping they'd realize I'm being so unspecific that they can't. This is the way I show my annoyance. This is how I understand why he eventually stopped talking.. People are so selfish. They pretend to care about what you have to say only if it benefits them.. and so many people want me to listen, to tell them "It's okay, you're not the bad guy.. It will be okay,don't worry about it. I'll be your martyr." and I do. I am. But if came the day they no longer needed me, I would be disposed of, and I'm well aware of this. This is why they don't truly care what I have to say. They are only so much the victims as they are the criminals. I need space! I can't be expected to give up all my health and sanity to other people just because it would be most comfortable them.. I need to stop catering to their every whimper. My problem is I feel responsible if other people say I hurt them.. and another flashback reminds me of how he had been.
"It's not my fault you were hurt because I stepped on your foot."
..but to WHAT EXTENT do I cause people pain,or is it only in their perspective? To what point do action and intention balance out? JHEAOJHGPJRETGPWAJRHBPSEWARHB{JES{RgkoEAHRBEKDf[HGJEA{rkgh[JGRH{FhRP{KHEA{
