I don't eat
Posted Thursday January 7 2010, 4:05 am
I take my sadness out on myself. I don't eat normally like other people. I know it's bad. But I can't stop thinking about it. The calories, the food, it's always in my head. But I'm so happy when I weigh a little. Like today I weighed 103 and I was in a good shock. I was scared that I might weigh more, but I weighed less.
I know that people view this as hurtful and I know in some part of me that it is. But it's not so simple. I like to see my bones. I like to not fit in a size 1. And I joke about my thinness with my friends. But it's not always a joke. I still see that pouch on my belly and I hate it.
I don't hate myself. Today I found that I looked beautiful. I haven't seen such a beautiful me in a long time...

Dreams..
Posted Tuesday January 5 2010, 7:17 pm
I recently had a dream...
I can't remember the little details...
All I really remember is that it was Homecoming night (I've already had Homecoming, by the way) and either I couldn't find the dress I had previously bought, or I had nothing to wear to the dance at all...
It was sort of like those naked dreams, but kind of different...like I was wearing this little sun dress, but not fancy enough to go to Homecoming. I just remember searching and searching for it, but not EXACTLY feeling that disappointed.
Any ideas?

Why do I have trouble breathing sometimes?
Posted Sunday January 3 2010, 3:11 pm
Occasionally I'd feel a bit anxious and have to open the window to breathe. Like throughout my life that would happen like a few times during the year. But then something happened this year. Like before I was able to drink coffee and things with caffeine just fine. But all of a sudden like I had a cup of coffee.. and I put too much coffee in it and then I was shaking and my heart was beating fast and I was like freaking out and felt like I couldn't breathe even though I was breathing fine. I went to sleep and woke up and it was fine. Occasionally after that I'd feel that way. I also drank other things like tea.. which I didnt realize had caffeine. Those made me feel weird too.. so after checking they had caffeine I stopped. And then this Ch...

depressed...?
Posted Thursday December 31 2009, 4:52 pm
i seriously think i'm starting to get depression. the last few months have been insane. my boyfriend of 2 years dumped me (his love faded?), my friends never invite me out anymore and when they do they're using me for a ride or something, i never get invited anywhere anymore, when i try to make plans with people they ALWAYS bail on me or never even call/text me back....and the thing that sucks the most is that i didn't even do anything, to anyone. i'm a genuinely nice person and it sucks to know that noone likes and respects you. i'm up every night crying and i just don't know what to do anymore...i'm not going to kill myself but i don't see the point in living if it just makes you cry every single day.

There is something wrong with me
Posted Wednesday December 30 2009, 12:04 am
I think I have sunk into a strange depression. I feel like I'm not even me sometimes. I don't remember what life was like before. It is winter break, I have been home for a few weeks. My boyfriend broke up with my after Halloween and he is currently my best friend. I sometimes hate him, and I avoid talking to him. Sometimes I want to talk to him and so I do. I have a good friend who I see from time to time. I don't have anyone that I feel comfortable telling my exact feelings to. Has anyone ever read the Bell Jar? I feel like that. I want to kill myself on most days. I cry for no reason. I don't know when one day ends and when another begins. I find myself wanting to listen to Bright Eyes all day long. Drinking makes me feel stupid because ...

Is it better to stay or go?
Posted Tuesday December 29 2009, 3:47 am
This may be a bit long; brace yourself.
I've read stories of people getting tired of their life and just up and going to a new place. Completely starting over.
As much as change scares me because of its uncertainty, I'd love to just leave and start my life over.
I'm 18 female, just started college in August about an hour away from where I was living before. I went through about a year of "depression" because my mom and I stopped living together and she tried controlling my life when she couldn't even support me. Since then I've been better, but still a bit mentally unstable. I don't know how to deal with my feelings. I'm in counselling and it helps, but there are still days when I'm not comple...

i've had an eating disorder for 2 years now.
Posted Friday December 25 2009, 8:13 pm
I've had an eating disorder for two years. everyone tells me I need to get help but I really don't want to. Please don't tell me I need to eat or I need to stop throwing up because I get that all the time. Is there any way I can get help for this WITHOUT going into a treatment center? I already have a therapist, but I don't think she takes me very seriously. I don't think she understands eating disorders at all. What should I do?

I doubt you can help, but you can try.
Posted Friday December 25 2009, 7:41 pm
I am so disappointed with the way my life is turning out. I'm on lots of medications and am in therapy, but at this point I'm pretty sure it's all stopped working. I'm not connected at all to my family. Nobody would miss me if I was gone. Please don't try to tell me my life has meaning because literally EVERYTHING I do goes wrong. Should I travel? Should I get away from my life just for right now and come back to face it with a level head? Because it seems harder and harder to stop myself from swallowing all my pills at once and never waking up. It's starting to be too much to handle and I hate being in this much pain...about myself.

Boyfriend's meds.
Posted Saturday December 19 2009, 3:30 am
I'm so worried about my boyfriend.
I'm totally inlove with him and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. I'm so sure it's meant to be.
Not too long ago he stopped taking his anit-depressants and informed me that he doesn't feel he needs them now that he has me, and he does seem so much happier than he was before... but I'm worried about him, like... one shouldn't just STOP taking their meds without consulting a doctor first... right?
What should I do/say???

*sigh* sorry if it's long, I'll try to make it brief.
Okay, so last summer the love of my life died. He was the best b/f ever and I knew I wanted to marry him and spend forever and more with him. The thought tragically ended when he was hit by a drunk driver--he didn't even make it too the hospital :'( . Ever since then, I have not been able to have feelings (like a crush) for any guy at my school. I know at least two guys that like me, and they are really great but my mind keeps picking at the things that annoy me about them and I just can't have feelings back.
Well, I haven't had any crush or any feeling at all since September--until now. I'm starting to like one of my guy friends and I t...

Getting over what he did to me
Posted Sunday December 13 2009, 10:54 pm
I'm 17, and when I was 16 I was sexually abused by an older man. He was about 20. It happened over 4 months ago, yet I can't seem to get over what he did to me. I'm not going to go into details of that night, but I still have nightmares about what he did, and I can't go near certain guys. I feel like all older guys are going to do what he did to me. How can I get over what he did to me? He made me do things that I was NOT READY to do! Please if anyone has any advice on how to get over what he did please tell me.

Nightmares?

I've always had very strange dreams, but lately it's getting to be too much. I have nightmares quite often and I wake up in the middle of the night feeling terrified. I'm a really happy person so I don't see why I'm having these nightmares. I do watch TV before I go to bed but I turn it off while I'm sleeping.
How can I not have nightmares?
Thanks! :)

SSSS?
Posted Saturday December 12 2009, 3:42 am
No it's not like a super special version of Hitler's Schutzstaffel, it's selective sound sensitivity syndrome. It's something I've had for around 10 years and just recently discovered as a possibility for what goes on with me. I wanna cry or hit people when I hear sounds like chewing loudly, breathing loudly, forks scraping on teeth, scuffing of shoes, sniffling, drowned out noise from TV's in a different room, ect. I guess I don't really need advice or anything, I'm kinda learning on my own how to handle it. I guess what I wanna know is, since there isn't much up to date material from people, do any of you suffer from this lame ass disorder?
