"Before", but... passed now

Before I get started on this "before", I just want to say that I was urging really badly last night and again this morning. So this before is just for me to sort through my feelings and examine them. I stopped SIing for a time. I've started back up and I don't quite know why, but I hate it and I hat...

He doesn't know, I'm just paranoid. I dunno... maybe he'd search for something he knows about me? In any case, I suppose there's nothing that could be done, short of editing all my posts that would concern me. But that just wouldn't be worth it. Thanks, though, for explaining everything to me. I'm j...

Temporary account freezing?

I was wondering if someone could help me out. I have a project coming up due and one of my resources was Deb's site, and a slight mention of this forum. Being the paranoid person that I am, I was wondering if it would be at all possible to have my account temporarily locked/banned/frozen until after...

For me, I'll usually regret the fact that I said something or didn't, or that I looked a certain way, or that I acted a certain way. It's not the fact that I feel I didn't deserve to have a good day, it's more that I nitpick what I did to people or to myself that makes what used to be a good day see...

I was prescribed Buspar to combat my social anxiety. I didn't take it for very long, as I soon pulled myself off all meds, but I didn't notice any strange side effects while taking it (which was a period of about three weeks). I'm not quite sure that I took it long enough to develop any noticeable s...

I think it'd be a good idea. The one other forum I frequent has an age category (though it's for a much different reason!!), and it's completely optional to fill out unless you'd like access to an age-restricted area of the site. I don't see the harm in having an optional field for it. Those who lik...

Thank you so much for your reply, dragonfly. The main reason why I've stopped taking my meds is (and I can't even tell my parents this, because I feel it's a very silly reason) because I'm in a Writer's Craft class, which requires me to write on demand a lot. The meds seem to hinder my creative abil...

After work... an "after" post

What was it... Sunday night?... Everyone at my new job seems to hate me. That's what I think, anyway. I just don't seem to fit in. Nobody talks to me or jokes with me or even looks at me when I enter the lounge. I say hi to people and they just ignore me. Success in my job is measured by how many cr...

Oops, whatever. *slight ED*

I left Writer's and dropped my stuff off at my locker. what were you thinking and feeling? I was determined to not eat. My spare was go...

I'm so incredibly sorry. I knew I had pushed you too far. Now you, just like everyone else, will abandon me. I just had to go and do that. I couldn't just be a normal little girl. I had to fuck around and make you my emotional boyfriend without any physical benefits. I have a strange feeling I might...

Writing is how I spend my days, nights, classes, homework time. Anything and everything. The only bad thing that's come out of it is: 1) I'm never really "all there" during lessons at school 2) My parents found something that I wrote about a year ago, and made me go into intensive therapy. But it re...

Dave - Thank you for today. I had a great time drinking coffee with you, discussing things face to face, and just hanging around in some bizarre places. I don't get out much. I think I'd like to, though.

Yeah, it does help me. I find it helps a great deal during school to write about what I want to do to myself, how I'm feeling, how much I hate my math teacher. If I write it all down, I often go back and read it when I'm "safe" and have a good laugh over how irrational I really was, and how unwise i...
