I know people like to blame themselves for the way that someone else personally feels, even when it's really just not their fault. No one needs to feel responsible, feeling like they have to be at my beck and call, 24 hours a day.

Even if I still feel this way in your presence, it really is nothing about you. Neither do I not enjoy the company of another person who even bothers to try and cheer me up. But sometimes that glum feeling just doesn't really go away, you know? Even if for a moment things feel brighter, there's always the chance of things crashing back down again, cause that's just how it is.

I am kept down to earth by the people that care about me, even if sometimes it may not seem like that. Some days I just struggle harder than others, while some days I do better. And that cycle will likely never slow down until I know I am me again.

And I hope to feel like me again. I don't plan on stopping until I do.
