#i’m just sad and stuck and tired and sad

ACT tells Torrent that it’s not his fault— that he’s not a bad Pokémon, but he knows better. He should have known Calypso would never be the one to cause the world such dismay and fear. He should have known Calypso to be kind and sweet at heart. ACT didn’t know her like he did — they have more of an excuse. He was Calypso’s friend — her only friend. The one she trusted the most. The one she opened up to and stuck by his side thick and thin. He was supposed to know her for who she really is. He should have known — it should have been obvious — that Calypso wasn’t a cruel, evil monstrosity that Gengar described.
He believed a flimsy lie from a known liar instead.
Yeah I just. Yeah. 🥲 Torrent will hate himself for all of time for who he chose to believe at that horribly vital juncture. It’s something he’ll carry with him always.
Years down the line, he’s a successful feraligatr who can’t move past the guilt he’s borne for decades. He stops in a small town and decides to look to a restaurant for a meal on the anniversary of his betrayal of Calypso— not to celebrate, Legends and Life, never to celebrate. It’s because he can’t stand the silence of his own kitchen in the face of the memory of his old partner humming nonsense tunes to herself whenever she cooked.
It’s a tiny eatery— fitting for such an out-of-the-way town. There’s a young Pokémon taking orders and waitressing in a busy flurry, and his own order is received with startling speed and accuracy. Her haste doesn’t seem to fit such an empty building— everyone else is out enjoying the festivities that torturously fall on with this wretched date. The Festival of Lights is a celebration of life and hope, and yet Torrent has never felt so dismal. Yet the food he’s served tastes like a friendship he hasn’t felt in a long, long time.
The waitress asks if he’d like to meet the chef, her mother— it’s a slow day at the restaurant, and they’re both bored out of their minds, and she’s sure her mom could use the distraction. She always gets really sad this time of year, and a conversation with an interesting stranger would do her some good, she’s certain of if. He agrees, and the pokemon who begrudgingly exits the back of the restaurant, complaining to the waitress about how she needs to mind the dinners she’s making for them, makes Torrent stop short.
She looks so tired. He almost didn’t recognize her thanks to her unexpected evolution, but he’d know those eyes anywhere. Calypso is surprised to see him, but she doesn’t turn tail and run like she used to, and she doesn't threaten him with a fight if he didn’t leave. Instead, she gives him a weary, sorrowful look, and sighs.
“It’s been a while, Toro.” A pause that weighs heavier than stone.
Torrent can’t quite answer her.
“I missed you.”
It’s those three words that makes him crack, and the apologies pour out of him like blood from a wound. Calypso listens to them all, and her face screws up at one point like she’s disgusted with him— but then it’s gone, replaced by that exhaustion Torrent always sees when he looks into the mirror.
“We have a lot to catch up on. I don’t want to waste it on apologies.”
“But after everything that happened—”
“After everything that happened, I’m tired of waiting on apologies I didn’t want to hear. I just want my friend. Let’s move on. I’m sure you did that just fine after you joined Team ACT— so let’s do it again here.”
The words tangle up inside his throat. Tears prick his eyes.
“… Oh.” Calypso’s voice warbles. There’s no tears welling up for her, but he can hear how she chokes on the waver in her tone. “You… You never did move on, did you?”
A pause.
“Good to know. I didn’t either. We can meet each other exactly where we left off, then. There’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you for a long time now...”
Tumblr media
“… I’m sorry, too.”

why find a balance when instead you can swing violently between two poles
#by which i mean. Not Doing Good Again#GDJDHDDH#i think the worst part at this point is trying so much stuff to help myself#and to try to do better and be better#and it’s either all failing or completely out of my reach and control#like i really just need. to. like i just need. comfort HDJDHDHD which sounds so stupid#but i just want to let it all out to someone and be held and understood#i’ve crossed the point of wanting to fix things perfectly or dreaming up alternatives or anything#like i’m not. delusional about stuff anymore#i’m just sad and stuck and tired and sad#or i’m completely completely blank#and i have been trying so hard to find a healthy balance between them but nothing works BDNDHDDH#like i’ve even done the unhealthy dumb stuff and the unnecessary retail therapy attempt#like the stupid purchase thing delivered today and. lo n behold. i just felt gross looking at it GDJDHDHD#it’s useful it’ll be good to have when i have to attend the wedding but like#there wasn’t even a moment or spike of excitement it was just#Oh#It’s here#Okay#like i feel so. completely unmyself and incapable of being. a self that isn’t just. wallowing#and i’ve been trying not to be like that to friends and stuff cause it’s just pathetic#but at this point i just. am pathetic HDNDBDBD and either sobbing violently about it or completely monotone#but on either side i can’t get shit done i can’t fogure out shit about what i can do kr want to or need to do#i just feel like i’m. suspended in muck#and it absolutely sucks GDNDDBDB#fingers crossed that i stop zombying soon cause i hate it here but nothing i’m doing is getting me out HDJDHDH#neg#mano.mindtalk#i wanna be positive and kind and gentle and warm and pretty and Good and i am none of those things right now and feeling like i never have#been and like i can’t be and i hate it but hating the feeling makes me feel even more negative HDJDHDH there’s no winning

I think I’m failing therapy
#personal fuity shit#I can’t answer my therapist’s questions#I feel like I’m only repeating myself every session#I can’t do the things she asks me to. and I don’t even know why. I just can’t#I don’t exercise. I don’t leave my room. I barely drink water. I have an eating disorder#I honestly don’t know what she could do for me. and I noticed she doesn’t either#maybe I truly am a lost cause#I’m stuck in place. can’t get better and sometimes seems to be getting worse#when I told her I don’t even want to live anymore she kinda got. pissed at me?#she made it sound like ‘being alive only because I don’t want to make my mom sad’ is the most insane and wildest thing she’s ever heard#and that I was crazy to even think about it#as if that wasn’t my only thought for like idk 8 years or so#ALSO she keeps putting my bisexual identity in question every opportunity she gets. like wtf#just because I’ve never hooked up with a girl doesn’t make me any less bi#‘are you truly bi or just curious?’ idk and idc ma’am you’re the one bringing this up and making it look like a problem#I’ve got lots of complaints but. it’s not easy to quit#I’d have to tell my mom an excuse as to why I want another therapist#and looking for a new therapist is just nightmare#I’m just tired. really wish I could think about killing myself more in depth without feeling guilty#thinking about how my mom’s life would be shattered and all the pain I’d cause her gives me goosebumps. it breaks my heart

So tired of never having any energy in my body. There’s so many tasks and things I want and need to do but I just feel so overwhelmed and my body literally can’t move to go do anything besides lay around and read because I’m just that tired

#can’t sleep. feel sick. feel empty and sad all the time. say i’m lonely and then purposely avoid talking to people#like genuinely. wtf is my problem dude??#i feel so tired and let down by everyone and everything all of the time and it’s like?#shit ain’t even that bad in the grand scheme of things. but I really still just wish I could get a ‘break for once’#why am I so stuck on the ideas of certain people who will never be the way that they were when I actually knew them#and why can’t I just be upfront with people about how I feel. so many ppl think so highly of me for Who Tf Knows Why Honestly#and it’s like. for the love of god please just go find someone else because I Promise you that I’m not going to magically fall in love +#+ with you someday. I have too many fucking problems as it is that I couldn’t even stay with my lady gf for more than a few months#why can’t I just get my shut together Jesus is it really that hard??#if I’m tired and sad then why do I stay up? why wouldn’t I just go to sleep. all I’m doing by staying awake is making myself feel WORSE#and I already feel bad enough as it is. everyone is moving forward with their lives and I’m just sitting here#No fucking clue what I’m doing. no one to talk to. i swear all I want is a good hug sometimes and I can’t even fucking get that#how hard is it to just ask someone for a hug and I can’t do even that??#please tell me I figure my shit out soon and learn to talk to other people because I’m so tired of forcing myself to be so alone all th#e time. i spend so much time awake at night and for what? so I can just make myself feel sad and lonely and anxious?#yeah well I’m tired of it. I’m tired of being awake and alone and not having anyone to talk to because I push everyone away

I come home from college to find my record player, guitar, and amp thrown away. Without any word. I’m sad, angry, and defeated. I know these may not be the most important items in the world, but they are special to me, the amp and guitar being from my dad who passed a few years ago.
I’ve thought about every way the conversation with my mom would go. “You shouldn’t have left them”, “how was I supposed to know they were yours?”, “You have enough stuff already”, “I needed the space”, “this is my house”. No matter the outcome, or my “counterpoints” in this recycling debate, it’s just a loop we end up in over and over. I’m tired of it. I have suffered worse before, sure, and this definitely isn’t the first time this has happened. But it feels like every time I try, I get my footing ripped out from under me. I want to try to get a life, get my education, take care of my health, do things, but I always feel like I’m never on solid footing. I want to achieve, to grow, to change, to heal, but I’m stuck standing still, afraid my step will break the only ground I have.
And in my sadness I am reminded that there is no way of truly having a right to exist when you are never allowed to take up the space to do so.

Not to sound so adolescent but I really do force myself to be happy sometimes. Growing up I had this strategy to just fake it till I make it. I figured that if I just ignore all the bad shit and focus on the good things I’ll only think about the good stuff. And it worked but it’s always temporary. I would work round the clock to distract myself and then once in a while I’ll hit a slump and can’t avoid the bad things. And they’re just there. I don’t try to processes it because I’m scared of thinking about it which makes me think about it all the time. Idk. You really can’t pretend you’re doing great. Well I guess you can but it doesn’t feel great or last forever. I’m not a happy person
