I Am Grieving

I think one of the hardest parts about grieving is that you become the "weird kid who eats glue" sitting alone in the back. Life has come to a screeching halt and everyone else around you is zooming along. Strangely there is comfort in that, because while you want people to care you simultaneously want them to leave you alone. C.S. Lewis once described it (upon the death of his wife) that he wants people around but wishes they would talk between themselves and not to him. My heart is full of contradictions. I distract myself with "normal" things then spend the rest of time remembering that nothing feels normal and that I'm really stumbling around pretending I know what I am doing.

I pretty much know how you feel , I’m suffering from severe depression and I feel like no one really understands me or even cares , I feel like I’m all alone in this battle for my life , just to get a hint of my life back , my dad thinks that if I get a job it will solve all my problems but unfortunetly there’s more to what’s bothering me than just my financial life I mean that’s part of it yea but there’s my social life 3, my love life 0 , my sex life 0, my personal life 4, these are 1-10 ratings so there all pretty much on the low side obviously plus all the problems within those aspects of my life it’s like I want to have a life but then sometimes it doesn’t really matter I know it sounds strange right
