Last week's eviction hearing was as hateful as expected, with the opposing side feeling eager to see me vanish and self-congratulating on doing such a good job at being absolutely miserable examples of human beings. In this I am up against one of the biggest real-estate companies in the area. They maintain their claim that the rent reduction was only for three months (not true), and that there are currently no remaining issues in the apartment. Which is also a blatant lie.
Naturally I got offered the chance to accept a humiliating surrender, pay up thousands of Euros, including the costs for their and my own lawyer. I will keep fighting, however, if only for the small chance on justice being served. I did absolutely nothing wrong, after all, and being forced to move will likely cause me to die.
Before the whole eviction thing started, my condition could be described as 'stable bad'. With thoughts of suicide being quite rare and still easy to contain. At this point my condition is not stable at all and my thoughts keep dipping into dark, suicidal thoughts every few minutes or so. Even just writing this, and having to accept this truth just caused me to lose self-control, scratch at my neck with my fingernails and hurt this body for being the cause of it all. Then start crying for everything about life just hurting.
Even though I have my psychotherapist backing me in that I cannot possibly be forced to leave the premises, the stress is still there, along with the realisation that I'm once again confronted by 'people' who couldn't care less or would even rejoice if I were to commit suicide. So long as I vanish out of their miserable lives. It's no different from those countless doctors and psychologists I faced over the past years.
The previous weekend I was away with my colleagues on a company-sponsored trip to the nearby Schwarzwald. On the way to the hotel with the bus I couldn't help but stare sadly out of the window, seeing countless houses, realising that everyone is apparently living in an apartment, with each house split up. Realising that apparently I'm so broken that I cannot be like others here and just accept living together in a shared house with others, ignoring noise, stress and frustrations.
It's why I know that Germany is the wrong country for me.
All I need at this point is for me to lose the eviction case to convince me that there's no point for me to continue living. I have spent the years since my last suicide attempt in 2011 trying to convince myself that life can be worth living, but this situation and the hatred which I must suffer from doctors, psychologists, landlords and others for merely existing is just too much.
I tried. I did my best. It's okay for me to just give up now. It's not my fault that there's no place for me in this world.
I want to believe it's not all my fault.
Is it?
The next months will find me dealing with neurologists, for the worsening loss of sensation in the right side of my body, travelling to another clinic for an appointment with another specialist and probably start more intensive psychotherapy from a second mental health professional. This is already far too much to deal with. I honestly cannot deal with anything more.
I'll have to survive somehow. Because others feel I must not die.
I no longer feel that way.

When you no longer want to live just say fuck it and do whatever you want. Don't want to go to work? Don't go. Fuck it. Want to rob a bank? Do it. Fuck it. Just be irresponsible and refuse to do anything you don't want to do. Only do what you want. I've been there. I know what it's like.
people suck.
No. You are a beautiful creaature. Why should you work so hard to stay in a place that is not good for you? It must be very hard finding another place to live. I have not read all of your blogs. Still, I remember the last time I moved. It was horrible. That was long ago though. I had children and not enough money. Now, I look forward to my next change. Who knows, maybe I will meet my life partner there!
In any event, Maya, change is so hard. I know, I do not like it iether. This may be just the thing that you need though. Who knows what the future may hold?
And of course, you are always welcome here. We have an extra bedroom, and I like to cook =), so please cheer. We need you in our lives.
With fondness,
~Devin
@partouf: word :)
@Devin: if the US wasn't such a basketcase at the moment, I might just consider moving over. Thanks for the invite :)
