Anxious Stories

  • I've been scared to death for the last couple of weeks

    Tuesday, March 11, 2008 | An Anxious story

    I feel so badly.  Several people I've reached out to try and talk with me and I have had to ignore them. I haven't ignored anyone because I didn't care,but because I've been very very scared about an upcoming date and a promise I had made to myself.  March 12 would have been my mother's 83rd birthday.  It's also the 4th year since she's been dead.  ...

  • Um...

    Monday, June 30, 2008 | An Anxious story

    I started binging.
    I'm so angry with myself.
    So... worried.
    I'm almost shakey, though i'm not sure why.
    I just kept telling myself "go eat, you can stop tomorrow"  stupid Claire...
    But it doesn't work like that! I just wish for a day where i will wake up and suddenly not have the urge to eat at all, but that day isn't going to come!
    I need to realise that.... but deep...

  • I feel really uncomfortable!

    Thursday, July 3, 2008 | An Anxious story

      I feel really uncomfortable right now. I am really hot and I feel like I'm going to sweat. I am really restless and I can't stay still. I think that I'm having night time anxiety. I have not been able to sleep well at night for a few weeks now. I have been really hot and uncomfortable when I lay down to go to sleep. I've been really uncomfortable and my legs and my body can...

  • relapsing (could trigger)

    Sunday, July 13, 2008 | An Anxious story

    How funny that just yesterday I journaled about accepting myself and today I deserve nothing less than starvation and death. I HATE my fat stupid thigshs. The rest of my body is losing weight while I still hve a butt and thighs and I wish I could cut them off and if it meant bleeding to death to look thinner, so be it. I HATE myself so much. I can't do anything right. Normally I don't men...

  • Sacrifice myself? NO WAY! Maybe bend a little? perhaps...

    Saturday, July 19, 2008 | An Anxious story

    Hello all and hope you are doing well. This journal entry finds me in a precarious position. Recently, one of the girls who I had been trying to please, who is really a sweet girl, messaged me. She said she was noticing I seemed really sad and not myself lately and did I want to hang out? I was floored. Here I had been thinking she'd been ignoring me, but she went on to explain that she'd...

  • "Looks Pretty Permanent..."

    Friday, April 17, 2009 | An Anxious story

    Changing in front of the mirror is a ritual for me.
    When I'm feeling unhappy, stressed, anxious, angry (or any sort of emotion, really), I'll spend about 10 seconds washing my face, and then change into my pyjamas.  I'll spend close to an hour (no exaggeration) poking and prodding my stomach, thighs, buttocks, calves, breasts, arms.  In between, I'll close my eyes, hoping...

  • My aunt is in the hospital

    Friday, November 13, 2009 | An Anxious story

    Hey y'all, my aunt was admitted to the hospital today. She was having chest pains and she went into the doctor. Her blood pressure was really low and they did an EKG. She had arrhythmia. They called 911, and she was taken via ambulance to the hospital. They did blood tests on her, and they confirm the prescence of a clot. Right now she's getting a CAT scan done. I"m really, really wo...
