I'm Broken (author note)

To whoever is reading this, I am taking a chapter to share how I've been feeling. If you'd prefer not to read something sad, please feel free to skip this chapter. I hope all of you are doing well. If you aren't, please don't be afraid to ask professionals for help if you need or want it.

I feel so much sadness inside I can barely stand it. I miss the person I used to be. She was so much better than who I am now. She was afraid and did things anyway. She had a community and could talk to people.

Now she's me. I isolate myself so much and still feel lonely. I get too anxious. Social interactions are difficult. My mood and self-esteem are so low.

And I wonder if I'll ever be better. Even if I'm never that girl again, will I ever be able to climb out of the hole I fell into? Because it feels like no matter how hard I try, I never get anywhere. Even if I almost reach the top, I always fall back.

My heart is broken. My confidence is at a low. I'm so lonely.

I hope things will get better soon.
