Hi!
I've been on this site for about 2 years and have attempted a couple of times. I tried to recover. I was put on remission for bipolar disorder not long ago. So, the heaviness of depression isn't as strong anymore. Everyone around me seems to be happy that I'm doing better. I take my meds religiously. I try to stay positive, even got closer to God.
But somehow… I still feel tired. I feel like I've just endured so much pain throughout my life, I don't have any hopes for things going well for me in the future. I now know, this isn't just because of a chemical imbalance. I am genuinely exhausted.
After having miscarried a few years back, I realized I wanted to be a mom. It was an unplanned pregnancy, but it was devastating. Now it's all I have cared about. Getting married to a loving man, having kids, big family gatherings, doing the things I love with them, taking care of them. And I know I'm young, but every relationship I've had is worse than the last. I can't take it anymore truly. I am completely unable to trust men and feel comfortable with them, even when they seem to be picture perfect… like the guy I'm dating. Whom I know I have to break up with soon. I've been verbally and psychologically abused by my partners before him in such traumatizing ways. And after going to therapy for 4 years, I can't afford it anymore.
It's not easy for me to stay friends with people when I come back to my ex, who has NPD. So not only he treats me like trash but people who care about me distance themselves from me to not deal with my sadness and distress every time he does something to hurt me… I've tried so many times to stay away from him. I just can't do it forever.
So I'm left isolated and heartbroken.
This is just a small portion of everything that is overwhelming me. But I can't and won't take any more of it. I am planning to ctb again and I won't make the same mistakes I've made. I am so done with this life.
