Can't stop lying!
Posted Tuesday October 6 2009, 9:24 pm
I lie about everything. This includes stupid little things like what I ate for dinner last night to big things like my serious health problems that I dramatically exaggerate for attention from my friends. I know why I do it- for attention, I look for ways to keep my friends interested with me.
I want to stop, but I'm having a hard time stopping. I always realize that the thing I just said happened to be another lie. How do I stop and just become interesting in an honest manner?

i'm not the person i want to be
Posted Tuesday October 6 2009, 1:31 pm
I think I'm depressed. Almost a year ago I tried to kill myself and now the anniversary is coming up on October 29th. I'm scared, I'm taking risks like hitchhiking, going to raves,doing drugs and drinking, and having random hookups that make me feel disgusting the next day. I'm so young (I'm 14! People call me mature though)to be this fucked over. This morning my mom recommended that I drop out of school becasue I'm just not trying anymore. I used to be smart, and I barely had to put in any effort. Now I don't put in any. At all. I have a C in English, that used to be my best class. My relationships are falling apart, I'm confused about my sexuality... I am not talking to my Dad though I think he wants to help. I hate self hate but I'm fin...

Over the last few years, I've been in a huge battle with depression. I failed out of university, lost contact with my family, and almost lost my boyfriend. Things were awful.
It's only been a year and a half since I was hospitalized, but since then I've been healing at an incredible rate. I'm finally happy again; I'm in school, talking to friends and family again, and enjoying life. I've beat the beast, and I want to commemorate all that I've done somehow.
I feel like I've been through so much, and it just doesn't show on the outside. I want something, even if I'm the only one who knows what it means, that externalizes the strength I feel and the pain I've gone through to get to where I...

Where can I turn when my world is falling apart?
Posted Wednesday September 30 2009, 3:23 pm
My brother just had a heart attack and my mother was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. It has been SO stressful. So, between flying home and sending money back to my family to help them out in this time, I was diagnosed with HIV! (And that starts fears of dying from AIDS, you know?) My car just got repossessed to top everything off. I know that I've made bad decisions with my car and, obviously, getting HIV by being careless but this feels so extreme. It's so much pressure and stress and I don't know what I should do or who I can turn to right now for help. Where do I start? What do I do? I know I have to do something...I can't just sit here and cry about how bad my life is going all of a sudden...right?

Close to full recovery, right after the day I graduated from high school, my mother decides to tell me that i'm adopted. i started college in the summer, because i enrolled for summer b, before i knew my mom was going to tell me that. so, right after graduation, she tells me that, i get back into my eating disorder, and i have to start school right away. i started school extremely depressed. i didn't know who i was anymore, or where i came from. two weeks after that, i find my biological family, and i discovered way too many things. some were good, some were bad. ...
