For Those Who Have Stayed By Erin Marshall @ TWLOHA

"I will be the first to admit that I am not easy to spend time with.It’s exhausting and frustrating for me, and I imagine it is equally as frustrating for you.I become irritable at the drop of a hat.I’m controlling. It sucks having incredibly limited control of my mind and the physical manifestations of my anxiety. To compensate, I crave whatever control I can get. Staying on schedule and having a routine is important because it provides me with something that I can count on.I may present as clingy or dependent to some of you, requesting your constant presence while going to the grocery store or the post office. Please know this is because I trust you to help me tackle a task that seems too daunting to do on my own. I apologize too often, convinced that even the simplest inconveniences are my fault. Please don’t get annoyed.I’m indecisive to the extreme. The fear of making the wrong decision means that the odds of ever getting a straightforward answer from me are likely zero. Please, if making me choose, at least limit it to two choices.I believe that everyone who puts up with me secretly hates me or finds me annoying. Please don’t take offense. I have the tendency to push people away. I often passive aggressively vocalize and push my frustrations with limitations onto those around me who are living a ‘normal’ life. It’s merely an expression of jealousy of the freedom you have. It has nothing to do with you. It is a poor coping mechanism that I unfortunately use to conceal what I consider to be a personal weakness. Please don’t take it personally.
