Family You will never understand
The last few months, I’ve tried so hard to be happy to the best of my ability. I struggle on a daily basis to even function. I try to tell you in the most subtle way because I don’t want to admit to you that I’m falling to the deep end again. The feeling never really goes away. You can get better. You can get medicated, but it always comes back. More recently it’s been so hard. How do you explain to the people you love that you can’t even think without hating yourself in some way. I never can explain how it actually feels. How do you explain to someone that you feel like you’re drowning not hopeless and not just sad. I’m at a point that I feel like I’m just sitting underwater and it’s so hard to go up. I get so close to the surface and then I sink. You work so hard to get to a point that you don’t want to hate yourself. You don’t want to think the way you are. It’s hard to explain it to someone who has never experienced it. I would never wish it upon anybody to feel the way that I feel now I just wish my family and everyone understood how I actually feel.
