Depressionista

Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while... I haven't felt much motivated to do much.

I can't really remember much from the last 3 weeks.  This depression is turning everything into a blur. Each day is a battle for survival, you know?  Nothing notable is happening; no real crashes, and no real breakthroughs.  It's okay sometimes and really difficult mostly.

I accidentally fell off the spectrum
Some days are bearable, mostly the ones where I'm too hungover to remember why I don't want to live.The other days are a struggle.  I much prefer the pain of a hangover than the pain of what is my reality.  

What I hate is that it hurts the people around me.  I hate that I can't face talking to anyone.  I don't check my Facebook, I don't respond to texts. I feel too ashamed to even go home and see my parents. Everyone has advice and I know everyone's advice is good and in my best interests... but I'm not in for my best interests.

It's really hard to explain; and to be honest, I don't want this to be one of those whiney woe-is-me blogs.  I've learnt through bitter experience that it's important to keep some personal things off the internet - crippling mental illness is one of those things. Unless it's retrospectively, like "Hey, wasn't that time I nearly drowned in melancholy hilarious? How self deprecatingly humorous of me!"

So this is my attempt to say sorry, and that I don't think I'll be back until I can write something that doesn't call for a CAT team or institutionalisation.

I'll get there in the end.  Just determining where 'there' is and when the end will be.

The disappointment is the hardest bit.
