Well all in all it was a pretty good day. Dad and I did have a little tension this morning. (He wants to sharpen my brand new kitchen knives because he doesn't like how the are designed. Usually when he sharpens a knife I either have to spend hours resharpening it correctly or throw it away... Did I mention they are band new???) However, the day after that went okay.
I am worried about Dad because of his bad cough and how bad he is hurting in his legs. I hope that the procedure on the 30th will relieve some of his back and leg pain. I am not sure what I would do if something happened to him.
Thing is with myself esteem being so low, I tend to second guess myself and to blame myself for things. I think if I could just be more help to him, then he wouldn't hurt so bad. If I hadn't gotten paralyzed I could take care of him. If I wasn't so stupid or lazy or whatever know of this would have happened.
All of that brings me back to what has happened. (Yeah, I can't sleep now, even after a good day, so I am thinking.) I really thought we had someone who would be around to help us... Make that help Dad for a long time. Most of what was done was as much for him as it was for me. So then I second guess myself even more. I second guess everything I have done since Feb. or before. I second guess myself even to the point of second guessing what I post thinking that I am going to upset or annoy somebody else (Probably am, surprised people haven't unfriended me on facebook.)
Over the last few years my self esteem has all but disappeared. Last summer it seemed like it was just starting to climb back up when I got sick. Then I know it plummeted. I was so hopping that when I got home in March that we could get back to normal and that my self esteem would have a chance to recover... That didn't happen. So again, I am second guessing what I did and what I am doing.
I even begin to second guess what I think about others... Mostly I wonder why do they care what happens to me? Do they really care or are they just trying to be nice? There is a difference. I wonder if I have ever done anything to them and if they are just waiting to stab me for it. Thing is, I know that is not fair to them. I should take people at face value and trust them until proven otherwise. However, I admit it is hard to do that when someone you thought you knew and trusted, trusted with your and your families lives, decides that they no longer what to have anything to do with you and didn't seem to mind tearing your heart out at the same time.
Even though I really do think I can see that little light at the end of the tunnel, I am still very sad and very low. I still think sometimes that it would have been better if I had not survived last summer. There are days like yesterday where I just wanted to get out of this house and go as far away as possible. Just go somewhere and forget all that has happened. However, I know that isn't real. 1. I need to be here for Dad even if I am not that much help. 2. I do love it here and I can't imagine not being here... It is just that so many things remind me of what happened.
You know... Sometimes I just feel like I am a terrible person and have always been a terrible person. I feel like I was a terrible person in high school and feel like I probably treated everyone badly, trying to serve my own purposes, not caring what happened to others... On the other hand, all I have ever wanted to do was help the people around me that I care about. I very much makes me hurt when I see people I care about hurting or in need. I wish I could just wrap them up in a big hug.
See, now as I type that... I get this feeling of selfishness and stupidity. 1. This voice in my head just keeps saying, "You just want to do that to get attention for yourself... See what I did." 2. Who would want a hug from me? Who would want help?.. No one...
