Hey everyone! Feel free to call me Sua, Suacide or if you'd prefer a formal title, Suacidal Tendencies works too c:
You might notice I've been a lurker for a long while now, and that's because I had something to live for, my mom. But she's gone now, so my will to fight and deny my feelings have pretty much disappeared, and now I'm just biding my time and seeking comfort in people that understand me.
I'm 23, F, from the UK and I've lived with my mom pretty much my entire life with some short exceptions.
All that I really do all day is doom scroll, watch YouTube videos, maybe play a game, and sometimes hang out with people on VR. VR less and less though. I'm pretty much an adult hamster at this point, or at least I was. I'm with family right now as my mom's funeral was just a week ago, so I don't know what my life is gonna be like from this point out. I was never prepared to grow up, and I feel like a lot of people say that, but I really mean it with everything I have.
I'm a magnet for bad things, even bad dice luck. Sometimes I really wonder if I was a terrible person in my past life, or some kind of notorious evil figurehead to have deserved everything.
When I was small I went through three cases of CSA that I still remember vividly and grew up watching domestic abuse between my parents all the time, including one where my father grabbed a knife, yelled something and then stabbed into the birdcage where my two childhood pets, a pair of lovebirds were inside of. They weren't hurt, but he made these kinds of gestures a lot and had insane anger issues. My mother had mania and suffered from constant panic attacks, so it only ever made things worse. When we were separated from him, I suddenly had to deal with her explosions being directed towards me instead and she ended up hitting me a lot and saying really cruel things that I knew she didn't mean, it was just the cancer and mania, paranoid delusions like thinking people were after her to the point where she hid and a neighbour's house while I was at school and all kinds of other crazy things. Being autistic and ADHD, naturally I got bullied at school and ended up never getting a further education after that. I got worse and soon even going outside I kept having panic attacks so bad that I'd throw up on street corners or have to lay down on concrete with how my ears rung, everything turned white, my heart hurt and it felt like I was about to die. That and a mixed bad of things stating would make an already giant wall of text even bigger.
Please don't get me wrong. I don't want to be like this… I didn't choose to be useless. I want more than anything to be able to do the things that everyone else can. But I know I can't, I'm weak, and I'm even weaker without her, or just someone to be completely dependent on and forget everything with. I've tried over and over again, I tried to get back into education and instead I developed an ED while trying to cope with something as basic as routine. I ruined my body with it, going up and down and up and down in size. I tried to make the house nicer and really put in an effort with getting rid of items that she had hoarded, and guess what? Haha. Human waste flood. It's like the more I try, the more I get punished. I tried to move out at one point using a service for rehabilitation for people like me with mental issues, but my mom ended up getting lined up for another treatment and I couldn't help but stay at my mom's all the time as being away from her felt impossible. In retrospect, I'm really glad I did. We had some really nice memories during those months.
When I flip back to moments of loving life again, hoping for the best and being optimistic, I really love art. I love drawing, appreciating peoples work and writing stories and characters, making OCs. I have a lot of fun playing games with friends or just friendly strangers and I think I'm never happier than when I'm joking around with someone on call over a game or while we both draw. I've loved drawing since I was young, but I fall in and out of doing it a lot as I've grown up. I also love to sing. Music has done a lot for me in my life. I love getting to know people too, I really love people in general. I don't think everyone is bad, it's just my nervous system that reacts that way.
Sorry that I ended up rambling so much, it's something I'm really wary of but it's also the only way I can really get words out. I live in a constant brain fog and writing clears it as I'm actively doing it. I hope you don't mind, thank you for reading.
Best wishes and so much love to everyone here, thank you all for being something the most empathetic people I've talked to in years, if not my whole life.
