Thursday 26th September 2024

The hardest part about having social anxiety and being alone is that there is nobody to be kind or to comfort you when you are obsessing.

Brain goes: no comfort, only sticks and prodding and prodding and prodding until it wears off or you fall asleep.

I have to be my own comfort and my own kindness. I have to be the one to forgive me for my perceived mistakes. It's so much easier when there's somebody else to do that for you. It's like a hot bath for the brain.

Only cold showers for me I guess. I get better at dealing with it over time. I think. I must do. Being your own warmth can be tough though.

I am agitated today, ie. not so in control of my agression, or as much as I like. So I'm prone to being more argumentative and snappy and then hating myself for it for an extra bonus round of crappitude.

I should get to be angry sometimes. Why the hell not. Why do I always have to hide that I am pissed. Why do I have to be sooooo agreeable. Like yeah being nice is more fun and better and has more fun outcomes but sometimes I should just be allowed to have my crappy feelings.

Everybody has feelings including me. It's a part of me, it is my whole. Hiding it is what has wonked my brain so badly in the first place. Go be angry sometimes. Maybe sometimes I should be allowed to just be a bit of a bellend and that's fine.

Some people do that on purpose and don't even spend 5 seconds feeling remotely bad about it and the world doesn't end because of it. Be a bit of a dick, I'm trying my best and being somebody who never gets snappy or mad or argumentative just doesn't seem like a realistic goal for me. Just be a person.

I did spring cleaning and now my space doesn't look like a depression nest. Couple of little jobs left but most of the big stuff is done...
