Christmas week

I want to crawl into bed, cover myself with blankets and curl into the smallest possible ball. I want the curtains drawn, the lights switched off and Barbra Streisand blaring in the stereo. I want to be in a deep, dark place, away from everyone and everything. But most of all, away from life.

Wouldn’t somebody come and give me the biggest, warmest of hugs? Wouldn’t somebody come and tell me it’s all going to be alright? Can’t someone come and take all my pain and problems away? Or at least deal with them on my behalf? I need some support and understanding. I need someone to give me a bloody fucking break.

Where the fuck is that somebody…?

I used to be OK.
I used to be alright.
I used to be so many things…

I feel alone.
Misunderstood.
In pain.
But most of all
suicidal.

  1. You’re the only one who can be the Life of your Party. Trust me, I’m not belittling your emotions-we have all been there sometime or another– the truth is anyone who sits down long enough to brood over what they don’t have or rather have…will eventually turn suicidal. Because life is about scarcity and the process of fulfilment. No one’s life is given to them. We bless ourselves by being appreciative of what we have, and making effort to earn what we want. Last but not least, be patient for that which belongs to you. If you deserve it, it will come soon enough. And if what you want doesn’t come, put your heart into something else, set your eyes on a different path. Have Love for yourself, do not stomp on your own being anymore. Give it a chance to live and to shine from within you. All these words to replace three little crude ones that people who don’t understand would have told you upfront: “Stop being pathetic.”

  2. Hey there. Don’t check out until you’ve taken all the rides. The Rollercoaster is a pain in the ass, but there’s always the Ferris Wheel. The anticipation of getting to the very top is exhiliarating, to say the least.

  3. ** hugs~~
    i know u r strong..just be brave n face it.

  4. have a happy & merry christmas jikon ..

  5. hey is it that bad until you feel suicidal? i get really depressed when i hear people getting suicidal, so please don’t jikon.

    whatever problem can sure be overcome… even loneliness. give yourself time and you might find someone. live life to its fullest, with all its ups and downs and don’t ever contemplate playing god with your life.

    merry christmas to you, jikon, and to all the christian readers of this blog.

  6. As someone who kinda knows what’s going on, I have only this to say:

    I cannot claim to understand how you feel. No one here, who has written those words, can.

    But as far as I or anyone can see, whatever it is you’re in, it’s not good for you.

    Nothing is worth your beautiful soul. Nothing.

    Check out of it - but not out of life. Stop being practical. Pack up your bags (metaphorically or otherwise) and just go.

    This may not be the time for bravery or for noble things. Only you can take care of yourself, so take care of yourself even if it means doing something so un-Jikon.

  7. *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs*

  8. Huge hug for you.

    And I agree with Naj, don’t sit there and take it, don’t be practical, choose to be happy.

    Love you dear.

  9. Thanks for all your kind words. It’s very touching. Some of it made me cry even… Every single one of your messages mean something to me but I need to reflect on it, and life, some more.

    Meanwhile, I keep soldier-ing on - things look so different the day after - hoping to one day find a happy answer…

  10. Hello,

    I’m just a passerby. If you’re feeling suicidal, it’s entirely possible you’re suffering from “clinical” depression. Try googling up “depression” and see if you identify with the symptoms.

    No you can’t just “pull yourself together”. There’s a lack of serontonin uptake in the brain.

  11. it gets better. really.

    that pain, that desperateness, that madness going on inside…so much..too much.

    break. break. break.

    let go.

    deep breaths.

    it’ll be okay.

    love you.
