-comments, pms, whatever are all okay.

I don't want to go to school tomorrow. cause I know that i'll have to look at you again. and it makes me sick, knowing that you tried it.




and i'm sorry I can't help you. and i'm sorry I lied to you. but I just don't know what to do anymore..

- I don't think I look nice at all.

- I really hate my legs

- I get paranoid about what people think about me. I think they hate me, they think I'm pathetic, stupid and babyish.

- I feel like no-one truly truly knows me anymore.

- I hate being so short. I hate it when people mention it. It makes me want to cry.

- My dad's side of the family are fucked up. I hate the majority of them. I know some of the secrets. I know there are more and that scares me. A lot.

- I know that one day I will have to tell the secret to my cousin. It involves her. I'm scared about that.

- I'm scared I'm going to lose people who I am friends with at the moment. I feel disconnected.

I run away everytime anyone gets close to saying anything that makes an impact on me out of fear that they will discover who i really am.

i'm so scared. i pretend to people that i can deal with harsh comments and that they don't bother me. But i'm so scared of them really that i'm risking my health in order to avoid them.

If I bore you, that is that. If I am clumsy, that may indicate partly the difficulty of my subject, and the seriousness with which I am trying to take what hold I can of it; more certainly, it will indicate my youth, my lack of mastery of my so-called art or craft, my lack perhaps of talent…

have you tried starting a thread on coping & ask for suggestions on how to deal with harsh comments? you're definitely not the only one that ever has trouble dealing with those... & really that's what the coping forum is here for :)

PM's ok...

I'm terrified of ever getting pregnant because getting pregnant means getting fat and that is not acceptable.

I care so much about my weight and what other people think of me because of it that I lie on forms from the doctors that require you put down your weight.

SA










when i was getting sa as a child, and my cousin w was also being sa by the same person, i used to try and manipulate situations and set her up so that it would be her instead of me...and it made me feel good inside to know it was her being hurt instead of me

I think God is calling me to work with teens either in a SI setting or just at church, but I am too scared to admit it even to my church friends.
I want to be able to cry in front of everyone but I cant bring myself to show that "weakness"
R- I really like you, but I dunno how close I can get to you. I really like your family and it makes me hate my own...

I want him to hate me for it...I want him to get mad at me and scream and shout and rough me up a little...I want him to break up with me for it because I can't handle him being supportive...it just makes me mad at him and hate myself all the more....

comments ok, pm

* i am lying to my fiance about si'ing. i told him that i had a slip rather than telling him i'm back to it all the way. now he thinks i'm being really honest with him so he doesn't ask because he think's i'll tell him if i "slip" again. i feel like shit about it. i feel more decietful than if i hadn't said anything at all.

* worse than that, i gave him my tools...so to prevent myself from feeling guilty i just switched to a new type of tool so i technically haven't si'd the same as what i told him i wouldn't do anymore.

* i haven't taken my meds in three weeks. not even vitamins. because i want to be sick and sad and needy. because it's easier thand being responsible and well adjusted. i am forcing myself back into depression because i'm lazy.

* i am planning on becoming a fulltime missionary in the fall...but i haven't talked to God in weeks. i believe in God with my whole heart...i just can't accept that he believes in me.

* sometimes i use honesty as a way of keeping people out. i shock them into never asking again. i pride myself on being more than they can handle. except when i'm lying to keep them out. but i'm always keeping them out one way or another.

* i feel fat, and i feel guilty every time i eat, but the guilt just makes me eat more to comfort myself. i am going to start restricting again.

* i'm afraid that i'll never be able to have children, and that that makes me not a real woman.

* i'm afraid my fiance will leave me if he finds out that he can't save me. i know that won't happen, and that the fear is completely irrational, but it controls a lot of how i relate to him and that makes me really sad.

* i want to start therapy again, i need to, but i won't because i'm too ashamed to tell anyone that i've lost all the progress i made.

comments ok, pm

wow, it feels really good to actually say all of that. it's been festering inside me for too long.

betsy
is it getting better, or do you feel the same? does it make it easier on you now you've got someone to blame? well it's too late tonight to drag the past out into the light. we're one, but we're not the same. we've got to carry eachother.

--I'm so ashamed to be myself that I lie to everyone so that I fit into their expectations and their ideals.

--I call myself a whore because a whore is worth more to every man she sleeps with than I am to myself.

--I'm not sure if I can ever be in a relationship and be happy, and that scares me because I love him so much. But I don't want to give up trying out of fear, even though I know that I probably will.

--Right now I want to be alone and friendless more than anything so that I could SU without hurting anyone.

--People caring about me and supporting me hurts me more than anything I've ever done to myself and this is the one pain that I'm not sure I can bear.

she rang me and ranted for half an hour about how someone desecrated his grave. and it was me. I did it. I can't tell her. It'll kill her.

I wish I could go back and put them back.
