Sometimes I see or hear something that triggers it and sometimes I don't know where it comes from, but I get this horrible pain inside, like my chest is caving in and my stomach is turning all at once. Sometimes it's so strong that it feels more physical than emotional. When I was a young teen I remember writing in a journal saying how much I hated myself, how life was unfair and blah blah, lol I was pretty dramatic. I liked to cut myself. I would write that it felt better than everything else I was feeling. I told a friend I wanted to die, she told an adult and they sent me to a counselor who recommended I see a therapist, but my mom said I was fine, and I never went. That was over 10 years ago, and to this day I still don't know if I'm "sick" or if I just feel things intensively. I hurt right now writing this. I get confused so often about why I'm in pain, especially when I can't associate it with anything happening in my life.. yet even when I do know whats bugging me, it shouldn't be sooo bad.. I SHOULD be able to handle it. Instead I cry, A LOT. I try to distract myself. And above all, I tell no one. If I can hide how sad I'm feeling long enough, it goes away. But its heavier than ever. And I don't know anymore if I can live like this forever.
