Changing for the Worst
I think Im changing as a person, and not for the better. If you asked me who I thought I was 5 years ago aside from anxious and panicky I would have said Kind and Patient. Thats before my depression really started. Now I dont know who I am. Sure i had incredibly low self esteem and i was insecure, but now I feel completely different. When Im not depressed or numb Im just not the same, and I dont like who it is. Im cold and shrewd. I snap at almost everyone for the dumbest things, and when i dont out loud i have a strong urge to do so. Im quieter than i used to be and Ive always been quiet. When I do talk I sound just cold and annoyed for no reason. I hate being like this. I hate seeing hurt or annoyance on peoples faces when I snap at them or say something crass for no real reason. Ive even caught myself being short with my fiance and it makes me feel terrible. I dont want to be like this. If Im going to suffer this state of mind I dont want it to be taken out on anyone. I want to be my old self but more and more its getting harder to remember who that person was. How do I work on this. Ive never had to work on how I treated others before because Ive always been kind and soft spoken. I just dont want to be like this. I dont want to be mean or rude to anyone. Its like Im becoming as a person on the outside as bad as I feel on the inside and I hate it. It just adds to the feeling of hating myself that I already feel growing more and more.
@Lycanthrope611 for me, self-care is a huge part of tuning in with myself. Sometimes we can lose our sense of identity and forget how we used to be. It's important to remember that deep down, you're still that person. Experiences change you, and that's okay ❤️
Stay strong lovely. You've got this 😌
