seasidefics: (nostalgic)
 I feel like there are two versions of me—a me before my dad got sick and a me after. And it happened in 5th grade. I used to be talkative. Still really shy—I hid when family came over, cried in kindergarten longer than the other kids, stayed quiet around adults, always cautious. But I was still more alive than I am now.

I had childhood best friends. We were just in elementary school, but it felt like we were already teenagers. Sleepovers every weekend. Sneaking outside at night. Ditching school. We had those stupid, messy three-way friendship fights, and I was always in the middle—the messenger. I had friends in school. I hung out with my cousins every single weekend. I did the talent show. I raised my hand to present first just to get it over with. I sang so loud and proudly during those holiday performances. I was good in class but still loud sometimes. I wasn’t afraid to take up space.

Then my dad got sick in 5th grade. And I think something in me just... shut off. I stopped connecting with people. I started hiding, not just from family but from everyone. I self-isolated without even knowing what that was.  I just... stopped talking. Then middle school came, and I was truly alone. And I’ve been alone ever since. Friendless. A Loner. Stuck inside my own head with this awful, debilitating social anxiety.

I want the old me back. I forgot I was even like that. It feels like another lifetime, like a version of me that never even existed. How pathetic is it that my goal in life is to be like my childhood self in my 20s? I miss her. I want to go back. Oh, I want to go back. Please, let me go back.

tw// drugs, mention of death, just overall unpleasant feelings 


ah will you look at that, another diary entry bc my life is complete shit rn. i promise i'll actually get to writing a story...just when im in a better place mentally and literally. 


since i am treating this site as a public diary (though I'm 99% sure no one has even come across this) might as well go into the nitty-gritty details of my life. i will probably—no most definitely— regret bearing my broken soul to strangers on the internet, but currently, i could care less. at this point in my life, i will just straight-up sob in public. i have gone past caring or frankly giving a fuck. 


ok that's enough of an intro. let's just go right in what aspired the past month and why im honestly halfway into the grave. that comes off jokingly but with coping humor, there’s always truth behind it. 


my father has A LOT of health issues. so that's why its not that strange for him to end up in the hospital for a couple of days every year or so. and well that happened again this month. but something about this time...just was different. made me more anxious, more scared. maybe because of covid or maybe it was just the ptsd of the last time my family member was in the hospital they ended up dying. i just know i was freaking tf out even though I tried to not show it. i guess i didn't do a good enough job of that because my older brother seemed to notice and started looking out for me more. i.e. making sure i eat, texting to check up when he’s at work, comforting me with "he’s going to be okay" speeches. what a lovely brother, right? 


now back to my dad. he was in the hospital for about 6 days—turns out he was bleeding internally—and he finally gets to come home at 2 or 3 in the morning. and well that joy and relief quickly left because i woke up hours later to screaming and banging. 


turns out all the while my dearest brother was playing the "nice and supportive" older brother role. he drove all the way to my dad's hospital, found his car in the parking lot and proceeded to break open the glove box and steal my dad's prescription medicine. medicine that my father needs to fucking live. 


and when presented with this, what does he do? he gets right in my dad's face and tells him to "gtf outta my house" before punching a wall because oh hes a manly man


i told my dad to file a police report because i don't care whether he’s "blood" or not, he needs to be punished for that. i mean, that's a fucking felony. but my dad is refusing too and the doctors won’t give him a refill so looks like im just going to have to wait for him to end up being in the fucking hospital on the verge of a heart attack to get it. so yeah. that's one stressor. 


and then back to my brother. he had decided to just give my dad, my sister, and i the silent treatment because somehow we're the people in the wrong here. won’t even apologize or anything. though he didn't deny it either so...

as you can imagine the atmosphere of the house is hmmm how do you say?? tense, livid, awkward, anxious, and just a hint of sadness. and to think most of those emotions are coming straight from me. my brother doesn't even have the decency to act ashamed. he’s just going about his freaking businesses without a care. 


and that's why im moving :) with no plan nor money and two cats and in the middle of a pandemic.  it's just fantastic !! 


and then number 3 stressor because life was like hey see this girl who is laying in the middle of the street after getting hit by a semi, yeah let's just throw something out of the sky on top of her for good measure. my brother came into contact with someone who has covid —and a very bad case might i add—and now there is a high possibility my at high-risk dad has it. but you know what my brother clearly doesn't care about my dads life so im not that surprised.


so my life is just freaking peachy. 


i seriously can’t handle one more setback. and i don’t know what I'll do when my dad has a fucking heart attack because my selfish drug addict of a brother took all 20 fucking pills of his medicine. 


I know other people have it far worse. I know that—trust me. ive been telling myself all week "at least you have pets. at least you have running water. at least you haven't been physically harmed ". but im just a week person. this is all too much for me to handle. all too fast; all happening at once. i can't. 


i have bad anxiety generally. but for the first time i was physically sick from it. i spent 10 minutes dry heaving in the car on the morning of the "fight" or whatever tf you call it. i feel like im going to pass out and feeling this unwell at this time is no bueno because now im worrying these might be symptoms of covid. 


so yeah im not sure where to close this off at. i wish I could just be like "oh my brother tested negative! my dad got a refill and i have a permanent place to live!!" but that will most likely not happen. but hey, since imo life has been shit to me since 4 yrs old with constant bad news maybe the whatever you believe in will take pity on me and make things easier. but I doubt it. 


anyways i guess this is goodbye. if my dad does somehow get the medicine without having a health emergency maybe i can focus on writing bc i am currently in 3 major brainrots. 


and if he doesn't...well I don’t know what ill do.

 do you know those off days? when you wake up and immediately feel wrong and out of place. when you’re on the brink of tears the whole day for absolutely no reason, no reason to be this upset. because that was my day today. 


it started as soon as i woke up around 10:00 am...going into the kitchen to make my morning coffee and maybe grab a light snack. i just felt sad and i mean that's not very unusual for me, but this feeling was just different. more intense. everything and anything was aggravating this emotion. going on twtiter, youtube, netflix, even here. all the platforms i use to get away and feel just a hint of happiness were now doing the exact opposite. 


anyway, i spent the entire day with this feeling and i couldn't put my finger on exactly what it was until at night.


 it's loneliness. i'm fucking lonely. 


and it’s not very difficult to imagine why. i pretty much ghosted everyone for the past year. online friends, old high school friends, neighborhood kids, even my own family. It’s been at least six months since the last time i talked to any of my older sisters and nieces—who i once talked to every week. 


i wish i could give a reason as to why i did that. but truly...i don’t know. i never even meant for it to happen. first, it just started with replying to a dm a day late but then pretty soon that stretched to a week and then to a month and now it’s been almost 4 months since i answered a single one. I guess apart of me is embarrassed...to reach out again after months of just being silent. but then if i never reach out...how am i supposed to continue a friendship with that person?


I just feel so stupid...because i was the one who withdrew and never texted back so why tf am i so upset i have no friends anymore. like dumb bitch it's your own doing !!


and i think not talking to anybody has badly affected me...probably the reason why my depression and social anxiety are through the roof. I mean, it just can’t be healthy to not talk to anybody for a year. like no wonder i feel so messed up.


i’m tired of feeling like this—of getting jealous when i see others interact on my tl, of getting jealous at friend groups in movies. it’s honestly pathetic.


but i don’t know how to change this. how do you un-withdraw yourself? do i just message friends, “hey sorry i completely ghosted you for half a year hahaha was just not doing good. anyways how are you? lol”. if i was on the receiving end i probably wouldn’t want to talk to that person anymore period. I would have already moved on and forgot about them. 


so now i feel like i have no choice but to continue being like this. to continue isolating myself and act like it’s not affecting me. 


i just feel stuck. 


and it’s pretty ironic that one of my favorite txt songs is “ghosting” bc i appear to be the queen at that. reading the lyrics...i can’t help but wonder if that’s how my friends felt. i hope not.


i  don’t really know where im going with this. i guess i wanted to let out my thoughts to someone. If anybody surprisingly stumbles upon this and reads it.

just a little venting diary entry since I don't really have anywhere else to voice my thoughts.

but boy am i struggling,,,with thinking out of all things. like you know that whole meme "no thoughts head empty "? yeah, that's been me for the past year.

i think something may seriously be wrong with my brain or something bc i literally can't think....

every time i try to focus on one subject...my mind just pulls up blanks. i thought it was because i haven't been sleeping well for the past..well honesty year...but here i am- loaded on caffeine from 3 iced coffees and a cup of tea for good measure- and nada. i can't think past the basic level of anything.

it's like there's this fog or haze over everything i do. i genuinely can't remember what i have done all day... i don't remember what i had for breakfast (or even if i ate it), dont remember if i went outside or not, i just don't remember anything that i may have gotten up to throughout the day.

i'm kinda getting worried bc it's been like this the past year? only it's gotten much worse the past 2 months or so.

i tried talking to my sister about it, but even then i can't seem to put it into words. i doubt i'm making any sense here.

ugh, i just feel...drained. which makes absolutely no sense since all I've done is lay around.

the whole reason i wanted to start writing again was because of this. figured it would somehow "awake " my brain and i'd be able to get out of this funk. but how am i supposed to write when i can't even think clearly? the two go hand in hand together smh.

anyway if this doesn't get any better in the next coming weeks i think I'll make a doctors appointment. i don't wanna continue feeling like this. it's getting in the way of everything.

hopefully, the next time you hear from me, i'll be making articulate full sentences.
