Sketches of a Bipolar Girl: Free Falling
It's been a long time. I wish I could say things were good, but I can't. I guess I will start by saying I have relocated to Duluth, GA. This was not my choice. I was asked to leave my former residence by my aunt, who simply stated that I had to go by the end of summer 2019. She gave me three months.
I guess it's my own fault really. I was very depressed, and had been hospitalized 3 times in as many months. I attempted suicide. I felt completely worthless and a burden. I tried to find a place of my own, but couldn't afford it. My brother and sister talked, and it was decided I would move to Duluth to live with her.
It hasn't been easy. My sister doesn't really want me here, and doesn't talk to me about my feelings or emotions. I am still depressed, and no one in my family wants to deal with me. I am constantly told to get myself together. I have a therapist, but can't afford to see her often. I am still on medication, but can't afford it all the time.
I have been looking, but can't find a job. I don't even know if I can work. I just feel so useless all of the time. I am alone most of the time. I have no friends. I spend a lot of time just listening to the radio or watching tv.
Whenever I post my feelings on Facebook, people tell me I am not alone or I should talk to God. I don't think He hears me anymore. My pain is relentless and unending. I have been suicidal the past week, but I am not going to the hospital again. I will disappear or die first.
Now, things are as bad as they've ever been. My mom has pancreatic cancer, and I am devastated. No one will talk about it, and I am not handling it well. Once again, I have been told to get myself together. My mom is fading fast, and I can't bear it. My mom is my best friend and confidante. I don't think I can live without her.
I am free falling through time and space and I am alone with only my screams to accompany me. The growing darkness of my mental state is enveloping me, and no one seems to notice. I am dying. I don't think I'll be missed.
