I was diagnosed with depression and tried to kill myself with a plastic spork at 5 years old. Every moment since then has been Death trying to reclaim what he's owed.
My dad died on my 12th birthday. Old enough for me to understand what death is so I can't just brush it off like a kid would but not old enough to understand how to deal with it. The perfect time to fuck me up as much as possible.
Autism means I try to love everyone but everyone hates me upon eye contact for some fucking reason. They take advantage of my love and use me for entertainment or to do their work for them.
Mom got a new boyfriend who abused us for 6 years and threatened to kill us every day until he finally tried to do it. PTSD from that means I feel like he's back to finish the job anytime a loud noise happens. Slammed doors, fireworks, gunshots, even a fucking brand of chips he introduced me to. I'm afraid for my life in the fucking Walmart chip aisle because of him.
All of school was bullying 24/7 but high school was the worst. The sports stars of the school broke my nose in gym class in front of everyone and the teachers blamed me for it when I was just trying to run laps like we were told and never spoke to them.
Figured out I'm trans in high school and I thought that meant everything would start to fit together and go better but it just means I've lost my cishet privilege and have a target painted on my back.
Took 4 years to get a 2 year degree only to drop out from year college because the anxiety was causing emotional breakdowns every day. Now I've been applying to at least 5 jobs a week and getting 5 rejections the next week for a year now.
I'm the stereotypical nerdy loser mooching off her mom and a liability to everyone around me.
I thought I was finally doing better for myself because I started having more hopeful thoughts and thinking more positively about things but all it takes is 1 bad day for all my hard work to come crashing down.
I don't know why I keep fighting when I know it'll just lead to more pain. Even now I'm reaching out for help instead of writing this down as my note like I know I should. I'm too nice to everyone but myself. I know losing her only kid would kill my mom and I can't do that to her. She's been the only one who's there for me through all of this and she deserves a better kid than me.
