Disappointment

...See more What I learned in life is... people will eventually let you down. People won't always be there for you. They won't always put in as much effort as you do. They may disappoint you. That doesn't mean that they're bad or that they don't care. But that's just how people, human beings are. So, never attach your heart to anyone. Attach it to your Creator 💫

Home vs. The outside world
Relationship Stress / by discreetPlace4219

...See more I've noticed how outside, people treat me vastly better. My class is significantly nicer. It all comes as a shock to me in that moment. I try to savor it for as long as I can, even after it's over.  But at home.. it's such a stark difference. I begin feeling insecure. My sense of self-worth goes down. I even start downplaying or rejecting my own positive traits.. like, when I feel like I have a fun personality, I say no, that's not true. Let me not fool myself here. The contrast is so sharp. I feel unwanted.. unimportant.. insecure.. but outside? It feels like everyone is the nicest in the world! Like today, someone came and offered to help me carry my bags because they looked heavy, which that took me by such surprise. I stopped and told them no but thank you and kept thinking about them afterwards. It just makes me think.. where was all this worth all along? I'm still struggling to come to terms with the thought that my family is the anomaly, not the norm. I guess I just wanted to share this sad realization that I've come to during my healing journey.

Is it true?

...See more I took the health checkup on this website and the results came out that I'm 66% depressed (moderate to severe) and 100% anxious (very severe). This kind of came as a shock to me, tbh. Is it actually true? Are these results accurate? I've never gone to therapy before (can't really afford it). But I have been feeling bad really bad recently.. actually, all my life, but moreso recently. I think I might have CPTSD. So yeah I'm just wondering about the accuracy of these results

Feeling like people don't like you?

...See more Sometimes I just assume that a certain person doesn't like me. It could be subtle things. It could be they're having a bad day. But I just assume they don't like me somehow. And I try to look for all the signs that they're treating me differently to everyone else. I thought that way about one person and then the next day she literally smiled when she saw me and said hi. So I got confused.  Like I can't just make it about them having a bad day or their own issues in life..  I just feel like they don't like me and that they've changed on me now. That maybe it's something I had done or something in me. I also used to find it hard to accept that someone likes me, just like thar. I felt like something was wrong. I would try to look for explanations.. now I've accepted it. How do I change this? To assume based on whatever people do that they don't like me? Writing it out now it sounds absurd but I do this without thinking.

How to stop staying up late?

...See more AI told me it must be because sleep time is the only time I get full peace and don't feel stressed or anxious about my family members, so my brain relishes it as much as possible being a 'rare commodity'. Which makes sense. Tbh every human interaction gives me anxiety; I might have social anxiety.  Now how to fix it? I can't be running late everyday! (But it's okay. It's not the end of the world and I don't have to be perfect.)

My class is holding a celebration tomorrow and I almost feel like I don't want to go

...See more I've been excited about it and looking forward to it for a while. But for some reason now I feel worried about it and I'm getting thoughts of not going. I've suffered from prolonged social exclusion as a child. School trips were a nightmare for me and reinforced to me the fact that I had no friends. Whilst other people left it with joy I would leave it crying.  Now I'm worried with this class that I would somehow get excluded again. Even though they are great. These two days I decided not to think about my childhood trauma anymore after doing a lot of unpacking and processing two days ago. Because I was feeling very anxious and overly hypervigilant, constantly dissociating for the whole day yesterday. So now I want my mind to rest. It just doesn't help that everyday situations are a trigger for me. I'll be okay.
