I neglect my mental and physical health as I could not afford insurance, I’m in so much debt that I cannot see myself paying off before it destroys my credit, I’m always late on rent, I cannot afford to take a day off yet I still get paid next to nothing from my job. But I signed up for this so it is my fault.

And what really blows is just this time last year everything felt fine. Time moves so quickly, it feels like I blinked and it’s all gone to shit. I really don’t understand anything. I try to dig myself out of this hole but end up deeper than before. I don’t want this cycle to continue but I feel stuck.

A horrible human being. I feel despite my best attempts I’m always making mistakes. I feel so alone. My life revolves around my career but it’s crumbling real time in front of me and it’s all my fault but I deflect and repress every negative emotion. I am a disappointment to everyone around me. I can never seem to live up to half the accomplishments of those around me.

When I am feeling overwhelmed I shut down, where I just don’t have the strength or willpower to try to fix things. It’s a constant cycle of trying to improve and still falling short. The last thing I want to do is hurt other people but that’s all I have been doing. And not by intention, but my inability to act has affected so many people
