However, I'm going to try.
It's close to nerves. But it's an impending sense of doom. I'm trapped. I feel like my inner body is tense, like my heart is racing and my stomach is going to join it. I'm worried about people; people who I haven't seen or heard from in ages. In one case, it's only a few days, in another, it's months. I know I'm overreacting, but I'm powerless to change it. I can't stop thinking about work tonight. I know it will be fine, but I just hate being there. Having to put on a front that I'm OK. My stomach hurts; it's tensing up.
The other feeling is kind of physical and mental. I don't know what it is. Is it shame about something? Is it loneliness? I'm confused. Maybe it's just confusion. I'm also lost, and stuck. I feel abandoned. It just keeps dawning on me that I'm alone. Alone in the sense that I don't have anyone here to just support me when I need it. I have a very good friend, but I feel like a burden. This person cannot be around at my beck and call. It's unreasonable to expect that of anyone. Yet that's what I want.
I hate this, and I'd give anything for it to go away. Just tell me what I need to do, what I need to take! All I can do at work is pretend to be OK, which means being smiley and chatting. I can do that, but only if I can somehow make myself feel numb first. If I can ignore my emotions, I can easily pretend I'm OK. It tires me out, and only makes me more irritable though. Then I snap at people, and I'm only hated more. That makes the pretense harder to keep up. People tell me to stop being grumpy, and I hate that. If only it was that simple!
Can someone help me? Now? Please?
