Me Myself and I

For as long as I can remember, isolation has been my main go to. When trying to cope with the world around me. I hadn't realized this until recenetly. I isolate for a few reasons. Sometimes, I feel so overwhelmed with the word around me. I need time to process. Sometimes, I become so distrusting of my "friends" and loved one's. In the sense, that they may use my struggles against me.That they won't come from a place of understanding and try to understand what is going on in my head. Sometimes, I get so angry and don't have the energy to socialize. Sometimes, I get in such a messed up state of mine. That when someone tries to talk to me, I go into fight mode and snap at them. Because, I just want to be left alone. Not only am I trying to protect myself. I am trying to protect them. I feel guilty when I lash out at others. So, I much rather isolate and feel alone. Than lash out and take my anger out of someone who doesn't does it. Most of all, how do I tell those closest to me, I have days where my mood changes multiple times a day? I can feel high on life then a couple of hours later feel extremely depressed and hate life. Whether I am isolating, or in a room full of people. I feel alone.

I feel a lot of that through my severe anxiety and depression, things aren't easy for anyone, but I definitely understand your personal struggles,

One win feels like it highlights 3 other losses, it sounds like it's been really hard on you, it took me so long to even see that I was hiding away from people.

Me personally I leaned into religion and that became my crutch to get me out of my hole, so I really hope you find that support system, those people that are somewhere and are able to help you.

Just remember, it's okay to be happy, it's okay to be sad, even if it feels like everyone hates you , there is ALWAYS someone who will be willing to help and listen, even if it feels like it takes a lot of effort to find them
