Better, I guess... but after I almost did something really bad today.
I'm a creature of passion, I love talking, meeting, doing, and I absolute hate stagnation and patience. I'm frantic, loud, hectic; ironically timid by nature to balance out this drive, with a fierce temper and sex drive underneath. To sum it up, when I lose myself and I'm extremely prone to outbursts of either wrath or lust; I either get very very angry when I'm dealing with issues, or really really horny.
My relationship with my longterm girlfriend has been on the rocks for like two weeks; we've barely talked (which is unheard of for us after almost 5 straight years) and while she said she was just burnt out (not from me, but the relationship as it was), she doesn't hate me, she just need time off. And honestly, I was so stressed out everyday too, I wasn't making it even better.
I've ruined relationships before and driven people away from my...intensity, I guess? I feel demanding to the introverts I tend to attract and be attracted to, I guess.
Every one of my friends has told me to work on myself, she's still there loosely (we just haven't talked, but she pops in on chats to respond to messages with ratings, kinda like KF) and that was hard to start.
I feel like I'm very codependent of a personality and I have always been like this. Lacking self confidence, I always feel like I need HELP from someone and I don't like being alone.
Well, my anger has been diminished a lot from my going to church... so that means my other vice has been itching at me like the Beast of Darkness from the series Berserk or something.
I've been looking at so many women when I'm out, desperately considering going to some... skeevy places... just to feel something. Get a taste. I'm so freaking lonely.
She's still there, but I also just feel like I need a release.
One girl that I have no relationship prospects with, but have been with, showed up randomly and upon seeing how distress I was, offered herself up to me; there it was. God, you have no idea how hard that was. I said I couldn't but kept thinking about it for days and days.
I couldn't cry at all yesterday after weeks of doing it and I was considering it more than ever. She didn't answer though; maybe it's for the best. Maybe that's someone telling me not to do it, I don't know.
I decided to watch one of the many videos I have of my girlfriend and then I just completely broke out into tears. The damn fully flooded again. All the time I've spent with her, everything I know about her, what we have, come on, man, what was I doing? I don't want this. I'd make myself feel 100x worse if I did that and how could I face her again when I do eventually hear back?
I'm not saying it's totally gone now, but the drive just vanished and I realized how much I needed this at the same time. Get my priorities in order, get past the codependency and be more with myself. If I can't be that without her, I can never be with her.
I don't know if things can ever fully go back or resume, but I'll always have the most amazing friend still. That's not alone.
And I'd much rather meet another girl if it comes to that through a solid connection and friendship just like with her, than... through the physical alone. That's nothing. You wake up as soon as it's over and you can't undo it.
It's not like I haven't been through this thing before; I got through it then better than before, and can again.
It just reminded me of this scene:
I feel ready to just work hard on my own, hang out, meet more people, and go from there. Gotta hit the bottom before you can get back up, I guess.
