I discontinued my course, I still love fashion but decided that making giant overly-embellished dresses that no one would ever wear is not me at all.
I really didn't fit in there and have been unhappy for a long time, so I decided that it was time for a change in direction. Time to stop holding myself back from doing the things I have wanted to do for so long. I need to find a way to get more self confidence.
I think ultimatley what I would really love is to work as an illustrator or graphic designer.
I have been working on website with my portfolio it, which should be finished pretty soon.
I have been drawing, reading, designing non-stop and I havent felt this happy in a long time.
I also cut my hair really short.

I am trying to understand why I suffer like this and why its getting worse.
Mabye if I start writing in here again it will help.
I just have these days where I am so overwhelemed by fear and negative thoughts I am worried about how that will manifest itself...and it does a lot of the time...in ugly ways.
I think it all comes back to my lack of confidence in myself.
When I am not feeling defective and worthless I am in a mad futile attempt to prove that I am not like that.
It's all so illogical, not that realising that really helps in those times but...For the past 4 years of my life I have just been living the same lifestyle. Go to school. feel stressed about the workload and spend the weekend working on assignments. Now put 13 hr days and weekends spent alone into the mix and you get an idea of how I live.
Even though I am a studying what I want to now I still feel like no matter what I do it will lead to nothing, because I will always lack the confidence and interpersonal skills to get anywhere.
I am ashamed to say I have started to have suicidal thoughts. I know it may come off as really adolecent/emo/immature to write this in here, but I am only doing so in the hopes that it will help me somehow.
I thought when I quit my job I would be less stressed about my workload, for a fleeting moment it helped but then afterwards I feel into the same old habits.
In my "up" times I can't even understand how I could even get into that mind state but when I am having one of my "down" times its like those thoughts are comforting.
Everything I do seems to invite self doubt and personal resentment into my mind. I feel like I really have nowhere to go or no one to talk to.
I feel like I am missing something, but then I depress myself even further when I think about how normal that is. Mabye one day I will do something really unpredictable and unexpected.
The way I live my life is so superfical. Mabye I should do something less selfish with my life.
Ah sweet apathy, now I can go to bed.

I think I may have manic depression.
There are certain symptoms of mania that have in the past convinced me otherwise.

If only I actually had someone/somewhere to go.

Best moment of the day: Cosy reading in bed with banana bread. Best moment from yesterday:Mixing and matching my new purchases, pretending I was dressing up to go somewhere.
