I can't do it.

I can't face the world and keep going at it everyday, day in day out.

I've tried before, and you are right it was'nt really exposure therapy, but I know I'll feel the same.

It was just a constant fecking war with myself and my surroundings.

I can go to the doctors but then what?

I went to the doctors before, tired medication and just kept trying to fight this shit by exposing myself but only got worse.

Im terrified of making another first step tbh because If I just take one step back then I've failed.

I know that this shit is for life and I must deal with it everyday because Ive been their before.

It sucks Karl.

Feck knows what to do.

Right, I'm off to watch the boxing to give myself a little break.
