Identity

I wanted a night off from blogging, have an early nights sleep because Bonnie kept me up most of the night and wouldn't let me have a lie in.
But I feel like today, I need to write up how I feel.
No one please, please tell me different.
I have been feeling belittled.
Belittled by everyone; whatever I do it very very bad, but when someone does the same, it's totally fine.
It is totally not fine.
Right.
'Identity' to me after having a baby.
I have lost my identity.
Okay, you may see me as 'Nivana' but to me, I am not Nivana anymore.
I use to be happy.
But now, I always desire more.
I try to change myself, and because I did that since 2012/13.. I've lost myself entirely.
I hate myself.
I hate my body.
I'm writing this next to Andy and I feel selfish to feel like this,
but it's the honest truth.
I somewhat hate my life.
My mum isn't well and is waiting for her Deep Brain Stimulation,
I hate watching her getting worse.
It seems everyone is going further in life
and I go back to my situation and ... I don't know where to begin.
Oh, don't get me wrong. I am so so so lucky to have an amazing family.
Sometimes I don't feel good enough.
I'm the black sheep.
Why?
Because I'm fat
Because I look at the past
Because it hurts
Because I'm lost
Because I crave
Because I've been mentally abused
Because I'm jealous
Because I dream
Because I miss
Because I grieve
Because I want to hurt myself
Because I want to be skinny
Because I used to be skinny
Because I used to be a size 6
Because I want to be happy
Because I want to have that smile I had when I was a child.
Because I want to be good at something
Because I got bullied
Because I use to be called Crusty
Because I use to be called Crusty Nipples
Because I use to be called Michael Jackson
Because my friends have shown their true colours
Because some really love me
Because some are people I shouldn't care about.
Because I did really well at the start of my theatre career
Because I felt I was being bullied by my teacher
Because I was scared
Because I took drugs
Because I got drunk
Because I couldn't dance like the other students
Because I felt I couldn't go further in Theatre
Because no one tells me I'm doing it right.
Because I didn't know my Dad until I was 15
Because I always want to make my Granddad proud.
Because I always feel compared too
Because I feel like a shit mum
Because I don't look at myself in a positive way
Because I've watched my mum get worse and worse with her Parkinson's
Because I'm an only child
Because I've tried to drown myself twice
Because I was bulimic.
Because I was 'chubby'
Because I was cheated on
Because I love art
Because I love theatre
Because I'm not good at art
Because I don't know where to start
Because I'm scared of being cheated on
Because I get scared that other girls are better than me
Because I have the life that many would love
Because I have a man that many women would love
Because I'm tired
Because I'm selfish
Because I want to be someone else
Because I have Psoriasis
Because It's hideous
Because it's beautiful
Because it hurts
Because it makes me cry
Because I get stressed
Because of my anxieties
Because of my depression
Because of my thoughts
Because I went wrong on the first day Boniver came home
Because I was a new mother
Because I love Andy
Because I wanted his child
Because it is what it is.
Andy is an amazing man. I love him with all of my heart.
Boniver is a beautiful, clever little miracle that came into this world.
