Girl, I've been looking at your comment history, and the number of times the word "burden" and "parasite" has come up when you've been describing yourself in the last 24 hours, is through the roof.
Girl:
You're just having a mental health episode.
It's ok. You're fine. You're going to be fine. People here care about you.
This voice in your head telling you those deprecating things? It's a liar, and it's wrong. The proof is around you, in the way that people here treat you now, and in the way they've been treating you until now.
It sounds like you're going through some Shit. Do you have a mental health professional you're going to, for psychotherapy? If not, getting one might help a lot.
But at the very least, as much trust as you've got in this random internet stranger, put it all in this sentence:
Just take care of yourself until they do pass. I know these situations well, I've felt them in my bones. Sometimes, your mind just lies to you. Slowly, you can learn when, and why, but right now, you need care. And you can provide some of it yourself, and you can ask for it from the people around you, like you have been doing these days from all of us, asking for attention and validation, and provably getting it, because you deserve it, according to the actions of all these people who take the time to respond.
Take care, get cozy, and wait it out. Love ๐ฉท
