After a long time of working hard on making myself strong, I find this morning I wake up to that feeling of being some small inconspicus piece of the universe. Why is that? My divorce was final this week. I've found a house that might be a perfect location for my child and friends as well as strangers have shown me kindness well beyond any thing I have expected.
My meds are where they are suppose to be w/ only a few side effects. Why is it that I feel so numb when I should feel better, and so many others are in so much pain.

i made this account because i hope this reaches someone who can understand. I feel immense shame and guilt over my past behavior while manic. I have ruined relationships with friends and family members, gotten tattoos that i dont want, done things that make me cringe. The weight of the self hatred gets to be too much sometimes. I feel like a burden. Nobody understands. I hate myself today.
