I'm self-destructing again. I'm functioning ok but I am increasingly thinking self-harm and suicide as only options. I'm furious with myself. I'm not studying, not losing weight, not going to the gym, don't have money to fix the car before pink slip runs out and a damn week more before I get to see my counsellor.
This is ridiculous. I don't even have the right to end things. I'm exhausted, everyone is making demands and have expectations and I can't even fulfill my own needs let alone other people's. And on top, I have alters nagging me constantly. One wants to go fishing, smoke, but I have things to do and don't smoke. I'm fighting everyone and everything. Just die already!
@Lemonjuice Hi Lemonjuice sorry you feel so bad atm. I know what you mean about wanting to smoke and go fishing .... I dont smoke and am a vegan but both sound perfect to me atm.... I am not studying, not losing weight, not exercising,car going in for big repairs in June (I hate to think what that will be costing me ....) as for a counsellor I am waiting on a referral from my old pdoc and am so depressed cannot be bothered to chase it up. Just feel like curling up in a ball under my doona ,.... I cant though because i have a home delivery coming at some stage today so I have to be awake to let them in .... all I want to do is sleep.

Re: Going under again.
Darn I am looking for it. Will let you know when I find it. I prob should post artist's name all the time I post their pics.
I have a few on the same theme. That one is called LUNARIS_29 and is more beautiful and dreamy, the alters... in harmony ??

Re: Going under again.
@Appleblossom I know what I love about it...why I relate to it. If you look at it, one face stands out while the others fade in the background and the faces keep moving back and forward. It's like one of those optical illusions. That feeling when your mind is shifting between the two, that is what I experience, how it feels.

Re: Going under again.
@Appleblossom not sure what you mean about upsetting me...I wasn't upset about anything at all. Infact, I really appreciated this by you. When I go back to see my therapist, I will have something to show him. It's like you helped me put a name to the feeling of what its like.
