Sometimes I think that your depression, addiction and all this shit you're dealing with - that it's just because you are too lazy to do something about it. You say that you want to be healthy and happy and that you are trying, and I am there as I promised doing the best I can to show you how awesome life is - if you only started living it..."
But sometimes I feel that you are too lazy to care and you would be so much better if you DID something. Sometimes I think you say "depression" and "addiction" when you should be saying "lazy" and "spoiled"...
I'm sorry.
But can you just take these first steps and start walking? I don't know how long I can stand here watching you not move one inch, doing nothing, just sitting there. We all know life is shit and we all struggle. But we have to get up because no one else will get up for us. Get up. It's not "addiction" or "depression" (mainly, at least) - it's laziness.
I had trouble reading this without feeling guilty as if you were my spouse talking about me. So here is what I have to say in this thread:
I'm sorry. For everything. I hope you understand that this is entirely my problem and has nothing to do with you. I don't use to hurt you. I don't lie about using because I want to lie or deceive you. I just want to make you happy at whatever cost and if that means hiding the single most embarrassing and difficult thing I struggle with from you... well, then so be it.
I lie because you deserve better than me. I lie because I wish I could be somebody else for you. I lie because your eyes are the most beautiful thing in the universe whenever your smiling. I don't have the heart to hurt you with the awful truth: I'm an addict and I don't know how to stop. I don't know if I can stop. I don't know if I want to stop (I am such a fucking piece of lowlife shit and you really do deserve so much better than me!).
I lie to you about using but secretly hope and pray you know me well enough to see the truth in my eyes. I pray that you will always be here to support me and that you will always love me as I have, do and will always love you. I love you so much but I fear you won't be able to see past my addiction. I just hope and pray that somehow, someway... you know, understand and accept everything.
Truth be told you are the single reason I'm still alive and still battling this addiction. Because without you I would have lost my life to this battle long ago. I would have either given up or completely lost myself to my own self destruction. Your love is the driving focus of my exsistence. My light at the end of the tunnel. My reason for getting out of bed each day. My reason for not giving up no matter how bad things get. I just wish you knew and accepted the truth...
Edit on 02/14/2013 to add:
I need you now more than ever yet you don't even really know just how bad, lonely and dark things are inside of me. I'm watching you sleep tonight and Im practicing over and over what I want to say to you (though never will) if I could bring up the strength. It all hurts so much inside and I could use your support.
Though, to be honest, its not that bad because I have you. We may not openly talk about this, and I don't have anyone to talk to about everything, but atleast I have you and that's a lot actually. You bring so much warmth, love and happiness into my life (that without you I wouldn't have any!)
