Today I feel broken.
I have to maintain focus to fulfill a promise, but my brain screams at me.
I have to be with my family, when I want to hide away from everyone and cry in peace.
I have to think, when all I want is to shut down and sleep.
I have to live, when I want to hurt myself.
Today is broken. And I'm missing too many pieces. To fix it. By myself.

Feeling a little overwhelmed by emotion today. Would rather be alone where I don't have to talk about it.

I feel so lonely. And like no one understands. But then I feel hyperaware of how dramatic it sounds when I say ..."no one understands."

I've traditionally felt like I do a good job being honest with others about how I feel but I'm starting to feel like others don't respect me, because I'm open about my stuggles. I think my Husband has tuned me out because his brain is more simple than mine and he doesn't believe what I'm going through is real.

I feel totally alone,my heart hurts and I'm miserable, I feel like a total outcast to the world

My brother just had an anxiety attack and I think I might triggered it, by creating engaging, but too much heated discussion on something trivial. I am waiting for him to calm down and relax for a while, so I can hug him and sincerely apologize. I feel terrible guilty.

He is feeling much better now. We explained honestly our reactions. He was triggered by the memory of being cornered and verbally attacked in school. We hugged. I don't feel as much of guilt as before.

I'm glad that I can talk openly with him. It makes issues so much quicker to resolve and life lighter to bear.

I feel sad and lonely even though I just had a sleep over with my friend.
