What Is Wrong With Me?

Hi guys, I know it's been awhile, but I have some things going on inside my head that I need to blog about. As some of you might know, I suffer from epilepsy and depression. The last time that I had a seizure was back in May, because I had been put on this new anti-convulsant and it has helped alot with my seizures. This has been great and all, but things haven't been all that great since then for me mentally. Some of the symptoms of these pills that I am taking have side effects such as, suicidal thoughts, thoughts of self harm, and anger and hostility, just to name a few. I don't like admitting this, but a couple of weeks ago, I gave into the thoughts that I had been having of hurting myself and cut myself. I won't go into much detail about it for now, but honestly, I hate myself for it.

Everyone who self harms usually has trigger, right? Well, the one thing that sent me over the edge was when I found out that my best friend had been texting and flirting with my older brother. Now, my family is what you would call one of a kind because we are a very close knit family. I grew up spending a majority of my life playing with my brother, Arthur. He has said on more than one occassion that he would kill for me, and that makes me feel happy knowing that I have someone who will always be on my side. The real problem I had with this from the start was how worried I was about this whole thing that has been going on between them. I'm not going to lie, I do not approve of this relationship for so many reasons. For one, my supposed 'best friend' didn't even tell me that something was going on between them. Isn't that was 'BFFs' are supposed to do? Tell each other everything? Same goes for Arthur, so to be honest, I felt betrayed. Secondly, Emory (my bff), hadn't even officially broken off her relationship with her baby girl Delilah's father when she started flirting and constantly messaging my brother. Third, she's still living with her now ex, and I frankly don't trust that she won't cheat on my brother because she has done it twice before. I love Emory, I really do, but having 'needs', is not a good excuse for ing someone who isn't your boyfriend, whilst being in a relationship with someone else. I honestly don't trust her farther than I can throw her. I hate that I've been speaking ill about her, but I'm just trying to protect my brother from getting hurt. It also pissed me off that basically a nano second after she officially broke it off with her ex, her and Arthur started dating.

I should be happy for them, but I'm not. This whole thing made me start hurting myself because I haven't been able to handle it and I had temporarily lost myself. I really hate myself  because this whole situation has put a serious strain on my relationships with both Emory and Arthur. I just don't know what to do anymore... I haven't cut myself in a couple of weeks so don't worry too much about that. (I had ended up showing my Mom and little sister Stephanie what I did and they've been helping me through it.) Anyways, it's midnight here and I'm exhausted. Love you guys! Good night!

There is nothing at all wrong with caring for someone who is your family. "Blood is thicker than water" the saying goes. So I'm not saying you don't have every right to protect your brother, cause what she is doing is not cool in no way shape or form, and yes it is kinda odd that she breaks up with her ex and then not even that long after breaking up with her ex she is with your brother. Yes everyone has needs, but that don't give her the right to go do tom, & harry. An as for the epilepsy/seizures I know the feeling. I been dealing with mine since I was a baby, they stopped when I was 7 then started back up when I was 21 and now I'm still dealing with them and on 3 different medications instead of two. So I understand it's scary. I'm scared everyday of my life when I'm at work, when I'm just laying in bed trying to sleep. I cried plenty of times. As I'm writing this I almost want to cry now. So I know the struggle trust me. As well as I know about the depression suffering (hence Jonghyun *may he rest in peace*), and my best friend in the whole world is dealing with it, you can keep telling that one person to keep their head up until you turn blue in the face, but it can only do but so much. Sweetie what I'm saying is I can be a great friend like I been doing to you like I been doing with my best friend in the whole world, not because she is going through the same thing you're going through, but because I do care. I don't want nothing to happen to neither one of y'all. I don't need to lose someone else to death. Not making this about me, but y'all are family. You need anything I'm only a message away. Message me ok? That's what friends are for. Love ya bunches son't forget that.

That's nothing bad, it shows you care, but don't know how to express. Like things just seem to be pushing down on you. And It's hard. It's right for you to feel this way because who would want your best friend doing that to your beloved relative?? I would have done the same thing as you..and I have.

You should try talking to them. Expressing how you feel and your thoughts. If it doesn't work, that would be alright since that would benefit Aurthur to giving more trust and belief in family than outside people.

In my opinion, you have the right to be angry. I'm very close with my bro as well. I'd feel hurt too if they decided to have a secret relationship and not bothering to tell me. Betrayal is a justified feeling from that. To me, there's nothing wrong with how you feel about this. You're her best friend, so it's natural for you to know how she is. Family is worth more than friendship, so worrying for your brother should always be first. If he doesn't listen to you, at least be there for him if things go bad with her.
