Jeff,
You are taking so much weight upon your shoulders. It must be truly exhausting to have everyone's feelings caused by you. I know what it feels like though, to be responsible for the feelings of others.
Someone told me though, that those feelings of others aren't my fault. It took a while, but I'm beginning to believe that they were right.
If those other people are part of the reason for getting better, then please stick with them; let them know how you are feeling. Own your feelings, but lean on the people you trust. They are your salvation.
You can't save the world, but you can save just a bit of it... there are many people who know you and depend upon you. That is the part of the world that you can save; you save it through saving yourself.
I know that place where you are, I've been there. It's dark, it hurts, it's scary, it's lonely, it's very small, it seems there is no way out. There is a way out though. Listen to the voices of those who love you. They are your life-preserver, literally.
I got back, last week, from a psych ward. I've been there a number of times, feeling, I suspect, much like you do. Take it from me, as one who has been there, it gets better. It doesn't have to last forever.
I can tell that there is much to love within you, just by what you've written. You think and feel deeply. You have so much to share.
Dee.
