Teeter-Totter

I teeter precariously between happy and sad. I feel scared and on edge because suicidal thoughts swirl through my head. One of my good friends needs my help, and I was giving it to her. But I am not as strong as I thought I was and I cracked under pressure. I was selfish and immature. I hurt our friendship. I feel guilty, I feel inadequate, and I feel as if my world is crashing down around me. When will things start looking up?

My friend really needs me, but I don’t know if she still trusts me or not. I always thought I was different from other males but my weakness has proved otherwise. I’m a horrible person. I wasn’t fair at all. She said, “well life isn’t fair” which is bullshit. I should have been the last person to fuck up like this.

My boss doesn’t like me. She gets annoyed with me because I ask too many questions. I want to quit because I have zero confidence left, but if I do quit, what will happen to me? How will I find another job? I’m not good at this thing called “life.” It sucks.

  1. Hi, I found your blog after a random search. My husband has bi-polar too.
    He said to me last christmas while he was really down and thinking of killing himself that he is just not good at life…just like you say in your last sentence. You are not alone.
