I Feel Like I'm the Annoying Friend

-
Basically, I feel like no one wants me around.

On some level I know I am not. I am a good friend. I'm loyal, steadfast and I am the "mom" of my friend group. I'm always there to give advice, a hug or cook dinner. My door is always open and my couch is super comfy.

Despite all my good qualities, I still feel like my flaws overshadow my strengths.

I'm loud, I take up too much space and I can accidentally dominate a conversation. I put my foot in my mouth a lot and I've never quite figured out when I'm being too weird.

I feel like I embarrass the people around me. I'll straight up tell you I am not normal. I'm a little off and I am a huge fangirl, so I definitely stray into the "who's that weirdo?" category.

I know my friends like me. I mean, I hope they do, since we hang out all the time. And they come to me with important questions, so they must think I'm trust-worthy.

But I still worry I bug them or they just tolerate me. I don't know. I wish I could just hang out with people and not make myself sick with worry once we're done hanging out.

My Thoughts are Keeping me Restless

-
I can't sleep tonight. It's kind of strange. I haven't had a night like this in a while. I've tried drinking it off but alcohol just kind of goes through me like water. As someone who used to drink to sleep, I can't decide if my now high tolerance is a gift or a curse. My thoughts are scattered to the winds this early morning. I've watched about four animated movies, as well as a Disney movie. I would recommend Pete's Dragon if you want a cute, kinda action-y movie or The Little Prince if you want to cry. but like, the good kind of cry. I notice I go back to the same music over and over again. I have certain songs that stick with me like gum to my shoes and others that always seem to sneak back up on me like money in your coat pocket. It's not that I fear change or hate it. In fact, I greet change with, undoubtedly shaky, but welcome arms. However, the constants in my life keep me from going insane.  Well, sometimes. Tonight I am a bit in

My Thoughts Continue to Taunt Me

-
I can not cry at work. I can not cry at work. I can not cry at work. No matter how far my mental capacity has plummeted in the past, moving back into my parent's house was a horrendous decision and has caused so much mental stress. I can not remember the last time I was this bad. Before I returned, I convinced myself that the negative memories were all just in my head. That I was just over exaggerating the situations and the way they went down.  Being back in their environment has shown me I was not making shit up. I was not blowing things out of proportion.   My self-esteem is at an all time love. I want to eat everything and nothing. My default answer to everything negative is: "I should just die." I want to cut. I want to drink and smoke and dissipate into the universe.  Words keep running over and over in my head. I am not okay and I want to die. I am not okay and I want to die. I am not okay and I want

About Two Seconds Away (Trigger Warning for Thought of Suicide, Self-Harm, Self-Loathing)

-
I'm about two seconds away from completely snapping Or maybe I'm two seconds away after having already snapped No one's home tonight It'll be just me My thoughts All alone in a big empty house With alcohol and guns and pillls and knives. I should probably drive I will drive Around and around and around Music up way too loud Maybe I can drown it all out You're not worth it.    They're all going to leave. They're going to realize it. Sooner or later. That you're not who you seem to be. They'll realize and leave. Just like they did. If your parents saw it and dropped you, what's stopping anyone else? Where did our sweet Emily Angel go? What have you done with her? This isn't you. Do we need to send you to a psych ward? You're acting insane! That's because I am.
