I have this image of my future where I have people who know about my problem and want to help me. But its not nice, I'm just ruining their lives. I'm going through a depressive episode and my future partner is having to everything do themselves. Or having to bathe me or feed me. I imagine my depression ruining my marriage or my children childhoods. Them having to tiptoe around me when I'm in a " mood". Already knowing enough to be scared for my safety. It makes me feel so guilty, and it hasn't even happened yet. I feel like the longer I push on, it's just the more people I collect whos lives I can ruin. I have this specific scenario I imagine where I'm trying to convince my partner of a more pro- choice stance. They are obviously shocked and upset and admit me to a hospital. I imagine how lonely and scary that would be for them. I feel like a building tornado, just here to be a wreck and destroy. Especially since my depressive episodes seem to just get worse each time. It's stupid but it does motivate me to kms sooner rather than later, before I spiral out of control.

I too yearn to not be cared for, it's like I am a star that can supernova at any point and swallow up everyone who came to admire my light.

But if it's any consolidation…
Those who stoke the flames of life, do not do so not expecting the be burnt. That care and investment into you is a risk they willingly take, so let's admire their efforts to fuel us until we inevitably burn away…

a very poetic way for a very loving concept. may we all feel light & warmth, both from others and from ourselves.
