Nr. 45

I have an appointment with a psychiatrist tomorrow. I wrote about this some time ago and said I was gonna deal with this the day before. Well, that day is here and to be honest I’m a bit worried. I knew this would happen, hence putting off dealing with it until the last day. Because although I feel confident in my own understanding of the condition and my ability to talk honestly about it, there’s also a part of me (probably my depression) that says this will be another failure because of either my idiotic ego and/or constantly reviewing myself. 

My biggest fear is that it won’t help me, but I’ll keep going anyway because I know it’ll make everyone around me feel safer and better. And I want that of course. I live for seeing other people contented. 

It’s not all gloom and doom. I’ve said it so many times ‘I don’t like to hear myself whine’ but I keep doing it, so that must mean I’m saying it to defend myself rather than for the benefit of others. Because I know lately things have started to improve. I peg that to triple dose medicine, relentless self evaluation (which in this case actually helped) and my workout plan. I’m not sure if keeping my lows from everyone, including myself, is a good idea, but at least now I can explain them to the psychiatrist. However, at the moment that feels like a mountain impossible to climb. I get drained just be thinking of all the explanations I again have to do. 

I need to stop this whining, but I also promised myself to never edit these posts, so I can’t go back and delete this. 

My point is that I’m...well, scared. I know it’s natural and I will probably be fine, but I still feel very small and hopeless at the moment. I wish I didn’t have to do this...

Nr. 64

Nr. 64 I’ve known for quite some time now how little I care about myself. It’s one of the reasons why I had no problem giving everything of myself to others, as I feel I have nothing worth saving for myself (which has opened my eyes to one big reason why my relationships hasn’t work out, but that’s another story). It sounds awfully self pitying, except that I don’t really feel sorry for myself nor do expect others to either. I can change the way I think about or view myself, but that would be trying to mask or bypass what’s objectively true. Normally I would be ok with this ridiculous dejection, but when it is combined with a ‘low’ it can turn quite unappetizing and worth hiding. I have a small core base of people willing to help me. Who are waiting for my call. Even though at this point it’s like waiting for Godot. Even my psychiatrist asked me the other day why I didn’t call when I was at my worst last week. I couldn’t really give her a good answer. Pride? Stubbornness? Or pe...

Nr. 61

During yesterday’s afternoon I had to lie down to rest. I had only gotten 2 hours of sleep the night before so it was definitely needed. I woke up abruptly well into the evening from a nightmare. Or it wasn’t so much of a nightmare as much as a psychological warp that changed how I view myself. I’m still trying to come to terms with it.  The dream had its normal amount of absurdities; I was part of a group hiding from a murderer who was hunting us. The team consisted of me, some friends of mine, Casey Neistat, Mila Kunis, and a robotic version of Hachiko. We were all hiding in this large locked down house. The murderer was in here with us. I had a gun which fired small amounts of glue, but if I did hit someone the glue would explode.  I was eventually spotted by the murderer and I fired off a serious of point blank shots to his face and neck. They exploded one by one. Nothing happened to him. We then warped into an abstract world where we would fight strategically using ...

Nr. 60

Next month I’m attending a wedding. I’ve been so busy thinking about practical things (like finding a suit to wear and what to bring as it is for a weekend getaway) that I didn’t realize until now that I actually need to socialize. Meaning talk about my current situation. I’m officially on sick leave due to depression which isn’t really the most festive conversation starter at a wedding (or any event really). As much as I really want to celebrate my friends getting married, I simultaneously feel stressed as to have I’m gonna phrase this. I know there are people out there with far greater difficulties than me, even within my friend circle probably, which makes me even more frustrated about my worry. I’m positive I will get through it of course. I even know despite my definite self torment of reviewing my ‘performance’ I will get by.  But I still feel slightly anxious about it. I used to be ok attending events with strangers when I could smalltalk about my work and then swiftly...
