For the first time ever I feel POWERFUL and no one knows what Im about to do. Its the most liberating feeling ever. I wish everyone on bus could some day feel this great. I hope that everyone gets what they want or need. Sometimes its a downer to come here cuz everyone is going thru stuff but I know mostly everyone is strong and will survive this. Today I ate and didnt purge even tho i had every intention to but when I didnt , it didnt even matter to me. Today is just the first of many ok days to come. Today I am happy. Today I feel freaking alive.

-The more I push people away and draw into myself, the more I need someone there to bring me back.

-My parents don't know I still SI.

-I'm not as strong as I pretend to be.

-I'm only trying to quit again because I'm afraid of your tears - and I don't think that's strong enough. I'm afraid I'll just hide from you too.

-I'm terrified of losing people, that someday I will be invisible to everyone.
Be not the slave of your own past - plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advaced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.

*****PMS PLEASE*****

Last night at homecoming I fell for a *boy*, and we kept just staring at eachothers eyes. We're both so weird. He was with my friend, but they werent *togather* if you know what I mean. I still felt akward, but I was upfront about it with her, her name was Kristal, and I were were hanging out Chris (the *boy*), and Kristal and Bobbi Jo. I kept getting left with Chris. I was cold and he let me wear his jacket. Everyone laughed cause I said he was cute but weird, and tehy said they didn't know who was weirder. I dunno if I am wrong. I dunno if I should be so open.

:star: im scared that im a fake. that i dont really have any problems, that i just make it all up for attention.

:star: im also scared that im not a fake. that i do really have loads of problems, that im actually like this.

:star: im scared that everyone will find out how much i lie, i lie to my friends, my family, teachers, strangers, unnessisary lies about random things that turn into big lies that worry them or impress them. i dont no what would happen if they found out half the stuff i told them is bullshit.

pms welcome...

Drugs....I've done some...I don't know if I care or not though.

Life?

Sexual Encounters...

Boys....

Girls...

Friends....



I'm feeling a little apathetic.

when i tell people i was bullied, they nod, on one knows that it still affectsme now and too what extent it still goes on. i used the past tense, it feels like present.

i still dont fully remember.

because of one sentance everything changed, this has happened with three people now.

i lie to my T all the ime, she thinks ive only si'ed once in the last six months

i get so angry i get so scared of myself

i don't have any intention of recovering from my ED, after two years with the same T i still have no idea of how to live without it.

I told the psychologist who did the tests with me my most embarrasing secret. She said it was important that I told. Now she'll probably pass this info on to my T but I don't want to discuss this with the T I am seeing now, I want to wait till my other T gets back.
I had to tell the psychologist... I filled something in at one of the tests and she asked me to explain that.. I had to.
This was the first time I told someone that secret that no one knows. And she was practically a 'stranger'!

i dont know what im living for
I keep wishing I would die but there is always something holding me back from just doing it. I used to think it was the disappointment that I know my family would feel but now i dont think i have anything left. I dont have anything left. I dont have anything left and I cant even cry about it. I cant scream about it I cant envoke any emotion.Im like a void and no one knows it. I dont try to hide it anymore but no one sees me and even tho i joke about wanting to die it was never really a joke. Its never a joke. Waking up is the hardest part and i dont want to do it anymore and I cant fake it and i have no idea of what im saying anymore and i just want to come clean. i wish i had the energy to scream i wish i had the willpower to live. I keep on wishing and im running out of coins.
