I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who
Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
Bell bottom blues you made me cry
And I don't want to lose this feeling
And if I could choose a place to die
Oh, it would be in your arms
Do you want to see me crawl
Across the floor to you (do ya wanna)
And do you want to hear me
Beg you to take me back i'm beggin' baby
Cause I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day
Please I don't want to fade away
I don't want to fade away
In your arms I wanna stay
It's all wrong but it's all right
The way that you do me, baby
Once I was strong, but I lost the fight
Whoa, and you won't find a better loser
Do you want to see me crawl
Across the floor to you (do ya wanna)
And do you want to hear me
Beg you to take me back i'm beggin' baby
Cause I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day
Please I don't want to fade away
I don't want to fade away
In your arms I wanna stay
Bell bottom blues don't you say goodbye
Sure we're gonna meet again
And if we, when you do
Don't you be surprised
If you find me with another lover
Do you want to see me crawl
Across the floor to you (do ya wanna)
And do you want to hear me
Beg you to take me back i'm beggin' baby
Cause I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day
Please I don't want to fade away
I don't want to fade away
In your arms I wanna stay won't you
Won't you give me one more day, please
And I don't want to lose this feeling
And if I could choose a place to die
Oh, it would be in your arms
Do you want to see me crawl
Across the floor to you (do ya wanna)
And do you want to hear me
Beg you to take me back i'm beggin' baby
Cause I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day
Please I don't want to fade away
I don't want to fade away
In your arms I wanna stay
It's all wrong but it's all right
The way that you do me, baby
Once I was strong, but I lost the fight
Whoa, and you won't find a better loser
Do you want to see me crawl
Across the floor to you (do ya wanna)
And do you want to hear me
Beg you to take me back i'm beggin' baby
Cause I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day
Please I don't want to fade away
I don't want to fade away
In your arms I wanna stay
Bell bottom blues don't you say goodbye
Sure we're gonna meet again
And if we, when you do
Don't you be surprised
If you find me with another lover
Do you want to see me crawl
Across the floor to you (do ya wanna)
And do you want to hear me
Beg you to take me back i'm beggin' baby
Cause I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day
Please I don't want to fade away
I don't want to fade away
In your arms I wanna stay won't you
Won't you give me one more day, please

The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support.
"Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
