finally just getting something off my chest. I have given up and I don’t seem to be bothered abôut my ruinous path. I’m 22, male and in my final year of engineering at uni. Since 16 I have just felt like a zombie, a constant battle in my head between myself and I don’t know how to describe it other than a different version of me.
Thing is this isn’t a matter of isolation socially and romantically I guess people would say I’ve done well but there’s this void that I cannot fill. When I’m with others, other me just sends me into a self conscious wreck swallowing his panic attacks. I laugh and smile but feel so isolated I am holding back tears most conversations these days. Wasn’t always that good though a level portion of childhood was being labelled as the weird fat one who spent summer holidays high as a kite after surgeries only until I hit around 18/19 I started to gain more relations with others mostly because of uni.
I can’t focus I sit in lectures and just hide my face at the back as I spiral into a horrible train of thoughts it’s like this other me has one mission: to take me down and beat me when I’m down. I switch hobbies week by week and fair’s because I have 0 passion 0 interest in anything these days.
Recently I’ve been wreckless I’ve gotten tattoos considered “job stoppers” my vices have consumed me and I feel like I’ve dug my own grave. I graduate in a couple months but I have no plan for after, and my complete loss of focus has effected my grades tremendously I use to get 70-80% consistently and now lucky to pass because it’s either late or just a heap I’ve chucked together. Therapy never lasted I failed to cooperate most of the time as all I could conjore up was brief unhelpful answers. Although a good observation made was that each time anyone compliments me or points of a positive I do I always had an answer at the ready to downplay it, very true hearing anything of the sort just annoys me at this point my very existence just seems to rile me up.
