TL;DR stream of thought/vent put to keyboard.

almost twenty minutes into a space engineers gaming session, USS Arizona replica coming along nicely, then like a wall it hits me. a realization that i am pretty much happy, or at least numb to my world, and enjoying myself. in an instant i feel regret and guilt wash over me, i hate myself so much that i can't stand to see myself in a positive state. standing up, i rip the cables out of the back of my computer and throw them on the desk. time for a cigarette or two, gotta punish my lungs too. i have the cheap reds, three, before i can come back inside. it's 21 degrees F out this morning, but i'm not wearing a jacket... or shoes. just standing barefoot on the concrete because i'm so angry, i've got to suffer. back inside i ignore the food in the kitchen despite the rumbles in my stomach, my discomfort feels almost right, as if i know to expect such treatment from myself. then i go to sit for a while by myself and waste my own time staring at the wall till it's time to sleep. ah bedtime, crying my crazy ass to sleep agian so i can go plaster on a convincing fake smile and work at my crappy job all the while wishing to ctb, and not being able to for a variety of complex reasons.

sorry for the wall of text, run on sentences, and any errors. maybe someone on here could relate? or at least i could give someone something to read in the bathroom. i guess i practice a form of self neglect because i hate myself. anyway, hope you have a better day than me.

I know where you're coming from and it is the weirdest feeling. For me it was walking the dog in the dark the other morning and it just got light and as the sky started to turn pink I thought "wow, that's so pretty" and stood still and realised I was almost liking the moment

- or at least for a few moments I wasn't thinking about anything, I was just almost content.

Then I was straight back to feeling worse.

I don't know what's going on any more x

That's the strange thing - whereas before my breakdown I took joy in even the smallest things, now it feels I'm not meant to any more, like I don't deserve anything other than continuing pain.

I can relate.
Sometimes it's disconcerting when I catch myself having fun.

I mean, if I'm actually trying to do something entertaining to pass time and relax a bit, it would be ok.

But if I'm off guard and find myself enjoying myself, I don't like at all.

I feel like I'm betraying myself, like I'm becoming one of "them", like I'm surrendering to normality when I know better that nothing is normal and everything is useless.

I totally relate. I am an empty shell of a person. I lost the ability for fun. It's awful and I don't recommend it. Try self care, even a little. And have some fun. Something in me has died.

I can relate to that, right now I'm living because of moments like these.
It really difficult to ultimately choose to end your life even though a little hope still exists.
I don't know, it feels like in this case we're stuck here forced to live.
I still wish I killed myself back when I could have done that with less regrets.

I think you should let yourself have fun. I can relate to your post, but I give myself a break sometimes by trying my hardest to distract myself. Sure, I still want to CTB every waking moment of my day but distraction is good for everyone.

it's not a choice. i'll be doing my thing trying to feel better, then i'll realize i'm enjoying myself and the realization slaps me out of my breif happiness.

Insane how much I relate to this. I thought I was unique. Once again, this site shows me that I am not.

it's human nature to distract oneself from pain. but yes it's an odd realization that one is enjoying life when one is hellbent on ctb the other 95% of the day. my life is so effed up that it doesn't take long for me to recall why I want to ctb. nothing wrong with enjoying those moments of relief.
