Why does getting let go feel like dying? I was so angry earlier at having gotten the news about being let go after 2 years and now it feels like I’m being crushed from the inside out.

Does any feel like they suppress their own positive thoughts? Like there’s a very positive development in my life that I am happy about but every time I think of how great it is, there’s a voice that tells me to stop and curb my excitement- for the fear that I will somehow jinx it or that something bad may happen. I can’t just be happy without it being accompanied by worry that I might lose something in return. Can anyone relate?

Been depressed most of my life. Found a report card from kindergarten where I got “satisfactory” on everything except for concept of self. Got not satisfactory on that.

In the last 5 years I’ve become disabled. The one girl I was finally able to have sex with ended up giving me a bacterial infection that triggered an autoimmune disease. We broke up and now I’m alone with my broken body, just waiting for my elderly parents to pass away so I can kill myself.

Thanks for reading.

Trust. I had three situations in the last 24 hours where things did not work out as they should or I was given wrong information. These situations were small and are definitely first world issues.

But it underlined for me how important trust is and how I feel so alone not having anyone there I know 100% I can trust them.

Everything around me is I have the fight a little or a lot for the actual truth. And that saddens me
