I had a very distressing session with my therapist. She was all freaked out that I had thought of a clever plan to end my life. She didn’t like it one bit to say the least and I get another session tomorrow. OH JOY. I don’t think I can contain myself, not!
I started reading her the post I wrote yesterday. I think I might have gotten through the second paragraph crying and then I couldn’t finish reading it as I was sobbing so much. Funny how I didn’t cry when I wrote it. Weird, actually. I guess what I write does have feelings even if I am unaware of them.
I didn’t get back to my writing friend yesterday. I was too exhausted and drugged up to write an email. I don’t even know how I mustered up the blog. I didn’t write the blog in word like I usually do. It makes it easier in case there is a glitch somewhere and I don’t have to start over because of it.
I went out today but I didn’t shower or brush my teeth. I just threw some clothes on and waited for the bus. I wanted a cheeseburger really bad so went to the Joshua Tree and they had one with avocado! I loved it. I didn’t like the fries. They were way too oily. But the burger was everything I was looking for even though my taste buds didn’t appreciate it. It will sustain me for a day or so. I don’t think I will eat anything else today. I had my coffee that tasted like shit. I drank half of it and threw it away. I felt bad doing it but I knew that if I tried to finish it, it would come back up on me. As you can probably tell, I haven’t been eating or drinking good. I planned on buying a case of water for my room but forgot. I know I am dehydrated because my lips are severely chapped. I just can’t keep up with the fluids. And besides, more fluids means more leak accidents. I rather stay retentant.
I am craving a cup of chamomile tea so I might make that later. I really feel like I am stuck in a mudslide or cement or something similar. It take me forever to walk places. I feel like everything is uphill even if it is not. I don’t get out of breath or anything like that. It is just a struggle to walk, even with the pain I have been having.
I feel rotten that I can’t try my plan to kill myself today. I know now that it probably would not be a great idea. My bed would probably try to come with me even though it weighs more than I do but who knows. I am bad with physics and things and would probably end up strangling myself just enough to lose consciousness and someone to find me in time.
Because I am still going to be here thanks to my terrible therapist, I ordered my groceries to be delivered tomorrow. They are going to come between 730 and 930. Are they for real?? UGH Nothing like waking up early sitting around waiting. But then I can have my nice cold cut sandwich with bakery bread, pickles and chips! Damn I forgot to buy soda! Oh well. I don’t need the calories anyways.
So this is the story of my pathetic life with depression and chronic physical pain.
This may seem off-the-wall, but are you in a state that has legalized medical cannabis? The stuff is a goddamn miracle-drug when my depression and restlessness are unbearable.

Reading this and the comments has left me in tears cause I feel the same too. I hope we find what we need soon. I’m sorry things are tough, I totally understand your feelings on this.

Jan,
Sorry to hear about your brother. I know it still hurts every day. I guess that is why I haven’t flung myself out the window is because of my sisters and nieces that live downstairs from me. I don’t want them cleaning up the mess. It is so hard living in pain and no one giving a damn (professional). They say they understand but they are not there holding your hand at 2 o’clock in the morning when you can’t sleep and all you can think about is death. I am just so frustrated by it all.

I don’t know. I started crying when I was reading about how there are no answers for me with doctors anymore, only an obscure diagnosis that just leaves you in pain with no one to treat it.

I often find no emotion while writing something but then reading it out loud to someone (usually my case manager) makes me emotional, maybe because it is more real?

I also have depression (moderate), and chronic nerve pain in my knees (SEVERE) from 5 knee surgeries and all the sports injuries that preceded them. I get suicidal sometimes. My big brother David killed himself 10 years ago last month. It still hurts *every.single.time* I think about it.
I like your writing voice. Keep it up! And….just know that you’re not alone. You’re NEVER alone. Especially w/ the internet, there is literally a WORLD of depressives and suicidals to talk to any hour of any day. You are stronger than you know.
