If you ask me
Trauma Support / by bestFig3538

...See more If you ask me how I feel- I'd say I'm fine.. But if you ask me how I really feel I'd say that.. when I was a child, there was a time when I was around five years old, I had to sleep in the hous alone. The person who gave birth to me drank and gambled. I would go to school with an empty stomach, with mismatched socks... I had to erase the pencil writings on the last pages of my notebook, because there was no space left for the new notes.. There was a time she would even lock me out of the house. I had to work in an early age.. There are things that happened to me that I don't even want to put into words. If you ask me how I really feel, I'd say that almost every person who I trusted has hurt me.. That I don't feel truly safe with anyone, that I shut people off. But if you ask me casually, I'd smile and say I'm fine. I'm truly doing my best every day.

...See more If you ask me how I feel I'd say I'm fine.. But if you ask me how I really feel I'd say that I wonder why almost every person I ever trusted made me cry at some point.. I'd also say that I'm trying and getting up every day, no matter how I feel..

Work & Career / by bestFig3538

...See more I used to be anxious about a lot of things. But now, it's mainly just about getting a decent job, in the near future. Because I want to be able to support myself.. I used to understand people who "bed rot" , but that's not applicable for me now, because I HAVE to do something. I'm not that privileged to just do nothing. I will try to be better, I have to.

Friendship Support / by bestFig3538

...See more I know that should have taken more care with my friendships. I look back and reflected, and noticed that I DID push them away or kept them at arm's length. They asked to come to my place, invited me to their birthdays, their mom's birthdays, beach, trips, etc.. I did come at times.. But at other times, that are equally important, I did a not-so-friendly thing, and made up excuses not to go.. Granted, I suffer from anxiety, and some depressing thoughts. Have inconsistent sleep and eating patterns, complicated personal life.. but I do regret that I let my personal issues make me not take care more of my previous friendships. Maybe it's because I put on a mask and make it seem like everything is fine, but on the inside, I was struggling.. Maybe I could have opened up to them because they were good people, instead of pushing them away.. It's not like I made enemies or anything, but I do no have consistent contact with them anymore, although we are still friends on social media, and they would like my posts, but really if I coud turn back time, I would have cherished them more, and maintained our closeness. But I do hope all is well with them..
