I want to kill myself. I feel like my brain is plagued. I have good things going for me and I know it, I really do, but no matter how happy I am, no matter how good the conditions of my life are, I have the urge to end my life. Because when things get good that means I might lose what's making it good, and then I'll be miserable. It's like when I lose some weight, I get stressed out about it because then I know I have to KEEP it off, and that's the hard part. Life is so dry and boring. And I know that if I owned a gun, I would have ended my life YEARS ago. It's just that there's no other easy way to commit suicide.

This not easy for me.. But here goes I lie about SA, It did happen, but it lasted alot longer then I tell people. It started at age 8 and it lasted until I was 18. This has brought me much distress. I never have told anyone the truth about how long it lasted because I was ashamed and afraid, much as I am now. I feel like I should have done something or said something. I am worried people will think because i was considered an adult when it ended, that it was consenceal. The truth is at 18 because of what happened I was not an adult I was still a scared child...Well there it is out in the open. I thought i would feel better but I don't please no negitve repleys..

you're not alone on that one, but by the time you get older the damage has been done. society is judgmental and doesn't understand that cos you were a certain age it should have stopped. it was way too late then for you to stop it.
i'm sorry this causes you so much grief, i know others like you who feel the same way. you're not alone on this one

I feel like a child so much of the time, that same scared little girl who was sexually abused for years. I just wish she'd grow up.

im finding myself thinking more and more about SI again... i know i cant go back there, i know that i wouldnt be able to get back out again.. i know that its not as appealing as my head thinks it will be.. but the urges are still there, and i dont know how to cope with them.. im trying to just ignore it, but its not working, and sooner or later im going to have to confront it..

Sometimes he scares me.
The Patch Stop Bad Poetry


If only I had an enemy bigger than my apathy I could've won.
It does not do to dwell on dreams, and forget to live.
Must I be content with discontent...I cannot bite the day to the core.
To die would be an awfully big adventure
And how can I stand here with you, and not be moved by you? Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
Darkness can only be scattered by light, hatred can only be conquered by love.
Awareness is the enemy of sanity, for once you hear the screaming, it never stops.
Writers aren't exactly people...they're a whole bunch of people trying to be one person.

I told them I'd be ready for discharge next week, but I'm not sure I will be. I can't bear to think about the next hour, let alone the next day or week or month. But I don't want to use this bed when someone probably needs it more than I do.

I really hate this puppy and you for being so close minded and having to get it. I know part of the reason my wrists have been a lot worse lately is because of that stupid dog and I told you repeatedly not to do it but you had to have your baby and did it anyway.
