"misses her dad today more than ever. Happy B-day dad!"

Really struggling to keep holding on Mood
Monday, September 28, 2009
so today has been 156 days since I last SI, and its been a long time since I've just had the urge to do it, but today more than ever Ive been struck with almost a feeling of need and panic, as though I HAD to do it.  I know this is because this is my dad's first b-day since he passed in July, and I know it has a lot to do w/my eating disorder as well.  I think it's just thought now more than ever I'm actually feeling things and i feel like its wrong to be that way, and I feel like I have no one to talk to and I dont' know what to do or how to handle them so I release/hide/ignore them by SI-ing.  I'm not gunna lie the feeling of need to do it is still siting strongly in my head, but I'm trying hard to ignore it atm.  I was hoping that by seeing how long its been I'd be inspired, so let's hope it works.

Where my silence ends Mood
Wednesday, July 8, 2009

Where My Silence Ends
A time comes when silence is betrayal,
When Barbie’s become Beauty's restrained portrayal.
But it’s a gilded
assassination
propaganded across the nation.

Lost in the moonlight black
forcing through the tiny crack
in a bitter strife
—the fight for my life.


Enshrouded in conflicting voices,
I push for suffrage in my choices.
The time has come; it’s a power
scandal
only brought to light by a flickering candle.

The media--it's my own KKK;
My personal dissatisfaction, makes me their perfect prey.
They glare at me in disgust,
like an old scrap of metal tainted by rust,

They leave no one there to console
after putting me in pain.
My silence covers me in
charcoal
they’ll wash away with poison rain.

Worried and restless,
scared to admit, and longing to confess;

fears of death begin trickling through.
I'm tired of  the voices, I fight to subdue.

Barely holding my composure,
I've pushed and pulled away from friends
But now ’m making this disclosure:
This is where my silence ENDS.

Why do I feel like I deserve this? why would I want this? Mood
Wednesday, July 8, 2009 | A Call For Help story

So I'm really freaked out. the nutritionalist just told me there is a really good chnace that after my next blood work i'll be admitted to the hospital. She said the only reason my lab work adn heart rate and pressure appear normal is b/c of the diet pills I'm on and they are giving a
'false positive'. she wants me to stop taking them adn then come back in for more blood work and she says that if what she thinks is right than I'll be admitted.

She gave me two weeks to stop taking them at least long enough for it to be out of my system so the lab work will be more acurate. I dont have an official dr right now, so every time I see someone diff who tells me something diff and looks at me like I'm crazy cuz I tell them I have Ed and my labs appear normally and my weight is fairly normal. They never weigh me acurately and although i dont fill my pockets or anything to bring it, up, they never check that kinda stuff so the stuff i have on a reg basis adds a lot of weight.

I'm tired of being looked at like I'm crazy and lying. I'm tired of Ed and I'm tired of my family controling and nit picking at every little thing I do. In a really weird way, even though I've been trying to stay out of the hospital, theres a very big part of me that really wants to be there.

I want to be noticably cared for and about. I want people to take me seriously and realize that I do have problems and I'm not exagerating and lying. I mean ya I do, but never to purposely exagerate, only to down play things so people don't freak out. I dunno maybe I am crazy, maybe that in itself is a reason to be hospitalized. I feel crazy. I have my reasons adn yet I feel they aren;t good enough reasons, like I'm not sick enough, but is that what I think? or what ppl are telling me?  I feel crazy, like why would anyone actually want to be hospitalized?  I mean ya I want to get better adn ya Ed is a living nightmare and he makes my life hard and ya I SI still sometimes and I'm not usually happy but can a hospital really fix that?  It can help with Ed but thats not going to make it all go away.  I dunno, I'm just lost and confused.  I don't know what to do.  I just want everythign to stop.  I just want to disappear.

 

Don't get me wrong I don't want to die, but I've thought about what it would be like if I was.  Other ppls lives would be easier, i wouldn't be so unhappy, my parents wouldn't be paying to get me help or to send me to the schoool of my dreams.  I wouldn't be setting bad examples for my sibs, no one would have to worry about me.  I dunno sometimes it just seems so much easier that way.



Anyone ever felt this way or had a similar situation? Am I really crazy? feedback and support is much appreciated. What do you think I should do?
