We Had a Big Argument Because of Continuing Problems Related to My Mental Illness and I Did Not Have Time to Take a Shower, I Love You and I am Sorry

I am itchy

My scalp is itchy

I cannot stand how itchy it is

I smell

My whole body smells

I cannot stand how smelly it is

I feel slimy

My feet and groin feel slimy

I cannot stand how slimy I feel

 

It is my fault

The whole situation is my fault

I cannot stand how this is my entire fault

I made you upset

I continue to make you upset

I cannot stand how I force you to be upset

I want to let go

I want my emotions to let go

I cannot stand how I am incapable of letting go

 

I am sorry

I always feels sorry

I cannot stand how I feel so sorry

I let you down

My anxiety causes me to let you down

I cannot stand that excuse for why I let you down

I will keep working

I will continue to keep working

I will do everything I can to be a better partner by working

I love you

I will always love you

Thank you for loving me too.
