I don't really do secrets... but I have kept a lot of things from my boyfriend.
Involving my mental illness.
And out sex life.
I'm terrible at confrontations and I can't deal with that sort of thing, especially since for some stupid reason I lied to start off with.

I feel horrible for doing it though and wish I could confide in him.

My face is a mess
I need to STOP picking at it. But it's so HARD.

I don't think I can survive this.

Don't know how everyone else has this crazy drive to get things done and be productive.

That's the first time any guy aside from a doctor has seen me without a top/bra on and I'm 22.
I feel like I should be ashamed of that somehow.

I am in love with my teacher. She is my role model, friend, and greatest confidant. I'm disgusting for the thoughts.

I want to stop trying. I don't want to have to take responsibility for myself any more.

I waffle between "I love you" and "I'm glad we're only what we are" often, but in reality I'm just glad we're so close and that we have each other.
I wouldn't have gotten through all of this without you.

The last time I spoke to you, you said, "thank god says you" when everyone else came over.
You thought I didn't want to be there.
That wasn't true. I was so glad we were spending some time together., but I never showed you.
For that, I will never, ever forgive myself.
I'm so sorry. I love you.
I miss you.
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 am only just now understanding the depths of your abuse, and I feel sick at the thought of what I let you do to me. But I still miss you.

my sister is losing weight and i'm jealous. every time she mentions calories, weight, food or exercise, it seems like she can't help but frame it as "food is bad" which make me worry about her maybe having an ed, and also makes me feel worthless for not being in control of my weight, eating way more than she does. envy hurts but i don't know what to do because i don't think i have the motivation or desire to be healthy but i still hate the way i am.

Sometimes I wonder if my cry of help I had in class during high school (which no one even noticed) make me a bad person because I did it for the desire and need of one of my peers to actually listen to me and show someone actually cared about my well-being at the time while my life was literally falling apart?
I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live,
I've got all my love to give, and I'll survive
I will survive

Somehow the wires uncrossed
The tables were turned
Never knew I had such a lesson to learn
I'm feeling good from my head to my shoes
I know where I'm going and I know what to do
I've tidied up my point of view
I've got a new attitude!

You don't know how dark it is.
there is, in the end, the letting go.

I feel like I've betrayed my parents and all their support by slipping back into SI.
Clean & sober since July 14, 2012.
SI free since January 29, 2016.

i'm glad i can use work as an excuse if my extended family asks why i'm not there for xmas/holidays.
i don't love them, like them or want to be around them but that's 90% my screwed up brain and lack of familiarity with real social interaction, not their fault. i don't know if it's better to be distant the way i am (for years/over a decade) or to cut them off completely.
