I sat down earlier to talk about how I’m feeling in a ramble so I could explain to all of you but I had 2 anxiety attacks in the span of an hour while trying to accurately explain how I’m feeling. So before I go into the excuses, let me just explain something about me.
About 8 years ago, I had a job managing a military contract and I decided to delete social media as a whole from my life. I deleted LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram from my life and it’s been that way ever since. I just didn’t want anything in my life that contributed negatively to my mental health. I grew up with 2 parents who sued each other and destroyed their children’s lives with emotional, physical and mental abuse. So when I became an adult, I tried for things to be as simple as possible in my life. My friends and I have been friends so years and years, we rarely fight and we try to be a source of support for each other, always, no matter what.
Almost 2 years ago, I started posting audios on the internet. What started as something fun, where I shared my intimacy has, in the last few weeks, just taken a terrible strain over my mental health. Between fighting about scripts with a friend, or a patron threatening to pull his support if I didn’t do as he said, or someone else trying to ruin my reputation this week, it’s all too much and it’s affected me really negatively. I hate that it has because I have never been the type to have drama in my life and now I’m so emotionally vulnerable that all of this affects me so much and I hate it because I didn’t used to be this person.
I don’t know how to let people in. I act like I’m fine and happy all the time because I don’t know how to let people take care of me. My life has always been a battle of either I sink or I swim and I’ve always swam and even the times I’ve almost sunk, I’ve never let anyone help teach me how to swim upwards. Even if it makes things simpler on me.
To put it simply, a bunch of shit has happened in the past month in terms of my GWA persona that has taken a negative toll on my mental health. On top of that, I’m coming up on a year since my grandmother passed away. A year ago, I should’ve been in the hospital with her and I wasn’t. It kills me every single day.
I’m just tired of pretending I’m okay when I’m not.
So I’m really sorry but the next episode of the podcast is going to be delayed. I’m trying to pull myself together enough before the end of the month but some tier exclusives may also be delayed and I’m so incredibly sorry about it. I feel ashamed to be in the place I’m in right now and I’m ashamed I’m not better than I am.
I know a lot of you are just here to get off and not listen to my bullshit and you might want to unsubscribe, that’s absolutely fine. I wouldn’t put my eggs in my own basket either so I can’t blame you for not wanting to. I’m trying and I’m really really sorry. I hope you can all understand. -M
