I intend to leave 7Cups

Trigger Warning: Depression, loneliness, anxiety, self-worth issues, emotional distress.

I feel like I'm disappearing. I no longer know who I am. I've been thinking about this for the past two months, so it isn't just a random thought.

I am lonely. I feel guilty about the things I've done, and I carry a lot of regret. But I keep everything hidden. No one truly knows me, to put in the right way " i never let anyone know me" what I need, what I want, or the reasons behind my actions. People simply come to their own conclusions and judge me and i donr care about it though. I hate explaining or express my everyday pain. i don't know why but it hurts me so badly now. 

I can't spend a single moment alone, every minute I am sitting alone getting heavy. i can't prevent myself from crying. i tried hard, but i couldn't resist. No one knows I am moaning here all day, no one knows i didn't have food since yesterday. 

I know I'm making mistakes. I know I'm not doing well. I know I haven't met anyone's expectations or made them proud the way my sibling have. I just need a little kindness, a few kind words, and a gentle push forward. Instead, all I seem to receive is criticism, disappointment, harsh words, and judgmental looks. I can't take it anymore. i really can't. my chest hurts so much 

I acknowledge that I've failed in a lot of ways, but at least let me go now. Permit me to lead my own life. I detest the way my family perceives me. I'm taking medicine for my health problems, and I'm exhausted. The medication has adverse effects. It's too much for me. I have to take care of my household chores while feeling weak, dizzy, and sleepy all day. If I'm having trouble, nobody seems to care. However, they said, "You are a woman, you got to face the pain and never say or let your facial expressions out and endure it." Whoa! I was taken to heaven by those lovely words.

Everything feels so heavy. I cry every single day, yet I smile at everyone and tell them I'm fine. I'm tired of doing that. I'm not okay. Not at all.

I don't know what to do anymore or where to go. I feel completely lost. But why? Even now, a part of me still believes that everything will somehow be alright, even though nothing feels normal anymore. Why do I keep acting like I'm the happiest person in the world? Why do I keep smiling?

Sometimes I feel disgusted with myself.

I feel worthless. The people who genuinely care about me seem to exist only behind a screen, while in my real life I'm constantly struggling with anxiety, harsh words, being taken for granted, and feeling unwanted.

I don't even feel like 7 Cups is helping me anymore. I feel like I'm losing myself in a world that doesn't feel real.

I'm exhausted.

Maybe I'll feel differently later. Maybe I'll change my mind. I don't know.

But this is how I feel right now.

Oh honey those dark places sure can sneak up and get us .. when I was reading this I felt like i was reading some excerpts from my life .. i want to say that you arent alone here even though I know it can seem like you are.. health issues tend to make everything else more intense . I get being tired of explaining things .which is why im just gonna sit here with you ..you're not worthless .. i too only have those behind a screen.. sometimes its maddening because I just want someone to sit with me in person.. not fixing not judging just letting me air out the garbage in my head.. hang in there darlin . You're gonna get through this too .. let yourself cry . It will help im sure .. im here if you wanna talk some more or just sit here. And im sorry im just now seeing this ..things dont show up always for me
