- I have stolen small items from friends since I was very young. I believe if I still have something of someone, then they are safe and we are connected. And if they die, the object I have keeps them alive for me. I think this is some problem with never having fully developed "object permanence". I have trouble believing people and things still exist when they are out of sight.
- There is not one place on my entire body where I haven't tried to SI before. Inside or out.
- I love food, but hate eating. Food=sex and eating=rape...
- I am terrified of the dark and I still sleep with a stuffed animal.
- People sometimes wonder about my Spider-Man obsession. Spider-Man was my imaginary protector when I was 3 and older. Spider-Man, Casper the Friendly Ghost, and Fievel Mouskawitz kept me sane and "safe" when I was little. I always feel safer with Spidey nearby.
- My only reason to recover from my ED is that I enjoy donating blood.
- I still feel like everything was my fault.
- I steal books from religious places... (Hymnals, bibles, siddurs, missals, etc.) I am not sure why I do this. I do know it's an OC.
- My last super serious SU attempt was planned for 9/11/01. A friend found out somehow and I was hospitalized on 9/9. When the towers were hit, I immediately assumed it was my fault and if I had gone through with my attempt, 9/11 would not have happened.
- I worry I am turning more and more into my father each day.
- I'm scared that if I ever have kids, I'll hurt them.
- My body got so used to being abused, that I actually crave it sometimes.
- I used to lie about stuff that happened to me in my past, because I never believed that what actually happened was "bad enough". I found out later that was called "minimizing".
- I wet the bed until I was 16.
- I am so cut off from some of my memories that I am often completely clueless about sex and drugs.
- I had never masturbated until this year.
- I didn't know that I was allowed to choose for myself until this year. I finally went and picked out my own clothes to purchase just this past October.
- I learned this past summer that sex is supposed to please both people. I thought it was my responsibility to please the other person. I had no idea that I was supposed to be getting something out of it.
- I have wished for cancer before. (I used to wish for diabetes and then I was diagnosed on 9/10/93)
PM, if you want... (I'll probably do more later.)

-I am really insecure and have low self-esteem, but when I see people like that (irl or on tv) I always hate them. which makes it so much more difficult to understand why anyone would like me, because I am the people I (and they) hate.
I've always told myself that if people reassured me that they liked me more, I would feel more liked but I realized this isn't true (even though it does make me happy when people say they like me) because I always assume they are lying to not hurt my feelings like I lie to this one girl in my school.
-Whenever I post things like this, I feel like I am begging for attention
PMs fine

i would probably try to be nice to them anyways even though that is not what i would want done to me.
but i can't assume everyone would be like me, and i know some people would rather be lied to than rejected.

--*nods* this is true. not everyone is like ourself. yet also.. i'm thinking there are midpoints between 'lied to' & 'rejected'
eg. being nice to them. maybe even attempting to engage them in conversation. treat them as a person.
no one's perfect. yet people can & do change... those with low self-esteem can learn how to change that.
people can like them regardless. even without lying.

I want to be a ballerina.
I want to be a gymnast.
I want to be a cheerleader.
I am insanely jealous of my friends who have done these things. I sometimes wonder if I was a ballerina and thin and pretty if I would still want to transition.

The wind and I, we speak the same, but he don’t hear so well.
Well, you’re gonna have to curse him, well you’re gonna have to yell.
The sky and I, we’ve had our fights and I’m coming round to rain,
Well, if the rain come round and it don’t come out, then I’ll never have to speak again,
I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
If Heaven is as Heaven does then this is Hell for sure...

I don't know what I want anymore; with him, with life, anything...I feel so lost.
I'm pretty much convinced that he's going to say that he doesn't want to be with me if I'm going to be the way I was last night over things. I'm scared of being right on that one....but also scared of being wrong as I don't know how to handle being together with me being like this.
