I'm really tired and I cannot sleep and it is frustrating me. I think I might be hungry, so I'm making myself a Cup-of-Noodles (those ramen instant noodle things). I don't really understand hunger... I wish it were easier to identify.

I feel very down and sad at the moment. Also a bit lonely.

I'll just have to wait for it to go away. I think I'll write in my journal also, to try and sort my thoughts out a bit. Tomorrow I'll try and see people.

Upset. Angry. Alone. Worthless. Reallly worthless.

Take a hot bath. Turn on some nice music. Call my T if things don't clear up. Try to cry. really cry.
The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.

I feel unloved and urgy.

I am going to have a shower, pamper a bit before I go out, and sing loudly. I am going to remind myself that I am not the bad person my family say I am.

I'm feeling really sad and alone.

I'm going to reply to some emails from friends and then make jewellery to distract myself.

I am feeling really angry.

I'm going to remember that I can't control my family's actions, and that all I can do is reaffirm that I never want to be that selfish.

I am going to listen to music, and avoid any thought provoking, sad or gory tv or music. I am going to breathe, maybe write, and just remember to not not spend my life in anger.

I am hungover.

So I will drink plenty of fluids, get something to eat (maybe I'll cook, YOU NEVER KNOOOOOWWWWW with spiders), finish the laundry and listen to TMN.
there is, in the end, the letting go.

stressed, on the edge of a panic attack, ugly, and in pain

I will get ready for work and look all nice, and get starbucks on the way to work to wake me up.

Extremely pissed off when idiots in class kept taking the piss outta me.

What i DID rather than DO was just write angry things about blasting their heads off on a piece of paper as angrily as i could and then rubbing it out so hard that my arm hurt. Worked a treat :)

Stuck. Sad. Tired.

Commit to making things better. Finish reading my book. Get to bed on time, take my valerian so I stand a chance of sleeping better.

I feel vulnerable and hopeless without my tools.

I am going to push through this like I said I would, because I am not going to prove my weakness by asking for them back. I am going to overcome this. I am going to learn that showers don't have to be spent that way.

I have spent days staring at the ceiling and called it "dealing with things".

So now I am going to get out of bed, off of the computer, and busy with homework, housework, and other things that need to be done.

I feel tired and sad... and like I need to hurt something.

I am going to slowly get ready for bed (it's already 12:14 over here) and try to get up early and run in the morning before class at eight.

Tired and a whole load of other emotions that I can't really explain.

I am going to write in my diary and not be on my own. People usually help.
