TW// Mention of past su*cide, self harm, and other mental health things
So about a day from now will be the 6 year anniversary of when I tried to take my own life.
This time of year is always hard for me. It was when I tended to have break downs and got hospitalized.
I think it's due to stress and burn out that exacerbates my mental health disorders. In addition, turning a year older (as I did on the 4th), reminds me of everything in the future. This multiplies my anxiety by a million and makes me want to give up.
So these next couple of days are gonna be super difficult. I already feel this overarching sadness all the time.
I feel lonely and like nobody wants me around, even thought I know this is not true.
I even thought about harming myself again. Which is something I haven't done in 3 years now. I'm not gonna do it, so you don't have to worry about me. I know it's a really stupid thing to do and will set back all of my hard work. Plus, I'm an adult. I feel like I need to leave behind all the mental health shit of my teenage years.
I keep imagining the day it happened and all. I won't go into detail for the sake of myself seeing the words written out. I also don't want to trigger any of you.
But it's hard to see the scars.
Anyways, I'll be having a hard time these next couple of days. So I may seem off. Like less happy, energetic. I'll probably be all self-deprecating, which I hate doing. It's cause all that's going through my head right now is that nobody wants me here or anywhere. I might even get into a pissy mood like I was a day or two ago. So please bare with me, and know that it's not your fault. It's all on me, and the "normal" Tara will be back soon.
You don't have to send me messages about this or treat me like I'm made of glass. If I need help I'll reach out. I don't like emotions and I don't like making people feel obligated to help me. It's my problem, and nobody deserves to get entangled in it.
I appreciate all of you. And thank you for reading if you got this far, but I doubt any of you care enough to.
