I feel...

I feel...

I feel desperately lonely yet, I feel like I don't belong anywhere. I don't belong in the 'Normal' world because I am tarred with the brush of mental ill health, yet because I've sort of stabilised now, I don't belong with my former peers either. I feel beige, uncoloured and boring with no emotion really even though if I had to say anything it is gutted. I feel trapped in a world I don't want and didn't ask for, yet whenever I try and break the shackles of failure, I am thrust back into the dark and reminded yet again of my failures (my Father is a constant person to remind me). I feel alone, even in a crowded room. I feel unheard, even if I am screaming loudly.

I guess I am just searching for something and not sure what.

Does anyone else feel beige?

Re: I feel...

Thank you @outlander. I just did my weekly call to members of my family. I actually got through and not a soul wished me good luck for tomorrow and happy birthday for Friday. I am beginning to (dare I say it) despise them.

Thanks @outlander. I wish they'd treat me like a normal human being. Next year I would like to have a big party as I turn 40, but in hindsight, I have very few (like 5) people who'd actually turn up. Oh well, more cake for me!

Re: I feel...

Haha do something extragant with those people then @Queenie and yes i wish they would treat you better too. I understand that part pretty well myself.

Re: I feel...

it's hard when you have to endure people's criticisms of your life - I experienced it on holidays I got back a few days ago

Well folks, just a brief fly-through visit from me tonight as I have a headache and a sore ankle (I rolled it when I was in respite and now it is really painful). One of my assignments is I have to keep a diary unpacking my 'baggage'. It is interesting to get to identify your triggers, beliefs, prejudices, strengths and weaknesses. I have to write a daily entry for one month. Wish me luck!

Day one of the rest of my life is over. I'm exhausted emotionally and physically, but I am doing okay. I haven't yet divulged I have a mental health condition and don't intend to unless it becomes an issue.

Good job @Queenie well done on going!
Thats an interesting assignment!

Re: I feel...

I've crashed sort of. I forgot to take one my antipsychotics for two days. Stupid me. Now all I want to do is sleep. I'm supposed to be writing a massive assignment due on February 3, but I am taking a mental health day I think. Can't take too many of those though or I'll be perceived as lazy.

Re: I feel...

Take today off @Queenie then start fresh tomorrow ❤

Re: I feel...

Thanks, @outlander. I've achieved hardly anything today as I've just been too exhausted to care much. I've slept the whole day away and only woke up at 5:30 pm. I remembered to take my tablets today, but man I'm wrecked!
