One night I had the weird headache out of nowhere. Still don’t know what it was or where it came from. No idea why, but I ended up on the couch just thinking “everything is bad, I’m bad, why even bother, I fucking suck at everything, etc.”
I’m pretty good at separating myself from my own thoughts, especially when things get out of hand, so I knew to just sit and let it blow over. This was very, very good because in that moment I caught a glimpse of where someone might be if they were thinking of commiting suicide. It was such a strong force of self-hate and hopelessness all I could really do was lie there and hope it would pass.
Had a normal day after that, but holy hell. There’s not a lot of logic to it, the best you can really do is be kind to people and pray they see the lighthouse in the storm.
Yeah people who don't get this are lucky enough to have never experienced long periods of their entire reality being negative. Not just thoughts, the experience of getting little to no positive feelings at all from anything. Living with that for a few days/maybe weeks is bearable, but for quite a few people that's just their full experience (and loss of community etc makes it worse).
