I don't want to have to kill myself. But, I have zero will to be alive right now. The fact that everyone else just bounces back from shit makes me feel broken. I'm just a drain on my family's resources. My dad breaks his body everyday to work for what? For me? Why am I even here right now? All I do is stay in my room. I do school, I'm about to start working on my Ph.D. in psychology because I want to understand myself. I want to understand others. But, more than any of that I just want to not do anything. I feel pressured or pushed into things, not inspired.
I was mugged in Las Vegas, NV while I was going to school there. I was beaten up pretty badly. And, I haven't been normal since. My old self is dead. The purity and the goodness is gone. All that's left is darkness and pain and death. People think that because I'm still able to do school that nothing is wrong with me. That I'm fixed. That I'm fine. I'm not fine. I have a mental battle with myself 24-7 including fantasizing about stabbing myself in the stomach and more recently the throat... I'm not worried that I will actually do this. I just wish it wouldn't run through my head daily. It doesn't help.
I guess I just want to throw my experience out into the universe... I feel alone... I feel unwanted... I'm sorry...
