I cannot pretend to be happy anymore, I cannot pretend to be someone I'm not, no-one knows the person I am deep down, the person I crave to be, what everyone wants from me I cannot give them. I cannot be the perfect daughter who does all her work, has a job and does all the housework, right now it's physically impossible. I cannot be the perfect sister who leads the right way, I'm no good in that sense. I cannot be the loving girlfriend, I have no more love to give. My strength from inside me has gone and I feel trapped in this darkness. I lay in the darkness and cry out my pain, but no-one hears. I scream when I'm hurt, and still no-one hears. I cannot be the perfect girl for anyone, because that is not who I am, I am a mess, always have been, always will be.
This mask I wear is shattering around my face, I cannot hide my pain anymore, I cannot hide how low I am and how far I'm about to fall.

I woke up and realized today that it has been 6 months since i have seen my daughter. I miss her so much....it hurts so bad not to be able to talk to her, watch her shows with her, just visit with her. I have tried to repair whatever bridge got broke but it's hard since Im getting punished for someone elses actions.It started when my mom got mad at my daughter and stated she didn't want her...

Today is day 3. Three days ago a switch went off inside me. I started intermittant fasting for 16 hrs and eating for 8 (I'm good eating for about 1 hr). I think I might even venture into fasting for 20 hrs and eating for 4. I have had anorexia when I was younger and have to admit that these fasting patterns takes the stress of dealing with food and what to eat away. I don't see myself...
You need some tlc.
cant do that
too much going on
just so tired and drained
have tried saying all this, but makes no difference, im at a loss right now
sometimes, we just have to give ourselves what we need when others can't or won't.
be your best friend. we here on this board want for you what you want and need. you are only human like everyone else. you don't have to be perfect anymore. :)
I can be talking with 5/6 people at one time, it may not sound a lot but when you do it every day for weeks on end it gets draining.
We forget about ourselves on the hope it'll go away but now we are at the point where we sit at the computer in floods of tears trying to pretend we're ok.
We're exhausted and our body is shutting down. We just dont care anymore
Please Take hold of someones hand
*monkey hugs*
You know where I am

Sorry for the long quote. I don't think what you are doing is good for you. That is a LONG time spent on whatever you focus on. It would cause you to spend a lot on that particular focus. Our minds operate on input and we need an array of input to allow our minds to operate. You MIGHT have an addiction to what you do on DS. Actually, I might also. There is more to life than what goes on here. Maybe you need to take some time off from DS and see what else is going on in your life,.. discover the good things you can have. Just a thought.
