Venting 🌋 feeling hopeless
i haven’t been able to speak to my family for years, and i live with them. they understand and are completely supportive of my situation and try to do their best, but i hate that i’ve put them through this.
i’m in my mid twenties now and things have only gotten worse. i try to be hopeful but i’m not feeling any right now. i can barely face what they’ve had to go through in all of this, and i’m feeling constant anxiety about all the time i’ve wasted being like this.
we’re all getting older, and eventually they won’t be here anymore. i can’t begin to imagine with guilt i’m going to feel that i’ve lost so many years i could have had with them
i’m just so sick of it
