ok, this sucks but here it goes:
first im going to review what happened over the summer and what i posted about a lil here (this will make things easier to understand)
As we all know I have a host of mental problems all relating to being way too obsessive about stuff.
And so last summer, I got a job at dairy queen, and while I was working there, I met the most beautiful girl I had ever laid my eyes on.
And as if that wasn't bad enough, later on I found out she had an awesome personality just by talking to her a few times (although I was scared shitless every time i was around her, which is why i never got around to asking her out)
But the kicker came in when I found out she was a good church girl. Which is just the way I am, and just the kind of girl I want. Innocent. (and no I dont want to abuse that).
Then I found out she was into sports and running and stuff like that. And she seemed like the sweetest girl I had ever talked to, and she paid attention to me!!!!
Anyways I only had 3 shifts with her the whole summer, 2 where I had a nervous breakdown and couldnt talk, and I obsessed about her constantly, as weird as this sounds. I thought about her all summer long. But I prevented myself from stalking since i know thats bad. I figured out her last name at one point (*kicks self) but then I forgot it. But I would carefully listen in when other ppl would talk about her. Like I knew what church she went to.
So I knew that I was too obsessed and had problems, so I tried to stop thinking about her. I went off to college and that helped me out tremedously (althought I still thought about her from time to time)
Unfortunately because of my mental problems, college didnt end up being so good, and it was actually quite painful, since I would obsess about meaningless things all the time, like i would philosophize over everything for hours at a time. Because of this I had a really hard time concentrating on school work, my grades were getting bad, I was missing out on fun, not showing up to clubs, and I was feeling pretty down and depressed. I also was experiencing some major anxiety issues.
After the first week I wanted to leave, since I had a very bad feeling about college, like I wasnt ready for it, like that maybe I should give myself time to resolve these mental issues and then return to college next year.
But I stuck it out. There were 4-5 other occaisions after that where I seriously wanted to quit as well, and sometimes would even spend an entire day contemplating that choice. One time I simply drove home in the middle of the week (3 hours away) just to think. But I drove back and kept plugging away.
Finally after 9 weeks, I was confident enough in myself that leaving school was the best choice, since I had tried all i could to make the best of it, but still wanted to leave. So I packed my bags and left.
I got back home, was relieved at first that my hell was over, but later became kinda depressed. And I also started wondering about that girl again, Linda, how she was so perfect and so much better than me.
I began talking to my friends back in town and found out one of them was going to be running at a college cross country meet on Saturday (a week after I'd gotten back)
Well what do you know. I thought I would never see this girl again, but while I'm at the cross country meet looking for my 2 friends, I saw her there, standing off in the distance, with 3 other guys, and I'm POSITIVE it was her.
I didnt talk to her then cuz i had just bumped into my friends, and she was busy with her friends, but from there on out all of a sudden that triggered things, I started thinking about her again. I started wondering what was going on with her. I realized I couldnt obsess like this, so I told myself that she was probably far away off at some other school in another city, and i tried to tell myself that i didnt know whether she was actually a 'good girl' or not.
So that worked in the mean time. Then all of a sudden today I took a tour of a small Christian College nearby that i heard good things about. (Figure i might like it better at a college where ppl are more like me and dont have completely different values)
Anyways, while I'm walking down the hall with my small tour group, guess who I see? Linda! The girl I had just started thinking of again recently! I dont think she saw me, i didnt say anything cuz i was scared shitless. The whole morning I was frenzied up from that. during lunch while our group was eating I saw her leave, and I also saw her in a computer lab later on as we were walking through the halls.
Do you realize how bad this is? Now its confirmed that she IS a 'good girl' since she chose to go to a Christian College --which has 'high' academic standards. Now I think even MORE highly of her!!!
And to make things even worse, now I know that she is still in town, and is having the time of her life at that college, since I heard so many good things about that place.
My mind had already been in a shock, as lately I was puzzling over a lot of issues besides her, like getting out of my depression and off my ass to find a job and college for next year, how I'm going to have a social life to tie me over until college next fall, my diet which i always stress over and deciding whether or not i can relax my standards a bit, and also I've started questioning certain things about my Christian faith recently.
That put the nail in the coffin, Combine that, with the whole crap that happened with this girl today, and this afternoon when I got home I was about ready to explode.
My mind kinda fizzled for awhile, I thought about everytthing, got really anxious and kinda in a knot, then got really depressed started thinking about how crappy my life is compared to all those college students at that good school, who dont have mental issues, Who had good normal high school lives, didnt have social problems back then, and are currently having the times of their lives....
and for a moment this afternoon.. thinking about all if this.. I saw no hope in my life.. realizing that there had by no improvement over my mental health over the last 2 years..
and for a moment... I wanted to die.
Anyways, I knew that these thoughts were only temporary and would pass with time,
so i went into my room laid on my bed and collapsed until a deep slumber..
from 3 pm until 6 pm. then when I got up it was dark outside.
So I talked to some people tonight, and I guess I'm feeling a little better, but yea, this is what happened. I really dont feel like I'm doing that well, and I need to seriously get out of this slump.
