Back. Finally. Love you all SOOO much.
Hi my loves! Oh, I have missed you so much! I have the biggest burden of guilt on me right now for abandoning you guys out of nowhere and totally dropping out of the mailing chain. I wanted you all to know that I by no means have forgotten about you all and how much you all means to me. For now I will update on the reasons I have been absent and what's up with me now. Recently, I spiraled into a terrible depression. I have never, in my life, EVER felt anything so painful, so heart wrenching, as this. It snuck up on me slowly, quietly, and pounced when I had my back turned. It attacked me at a very vulnerable moment. We had auditions for the play, and EVERY SINGLE SOPHOMORE except for me got a lead or at least a small lead, and I got ensemble. It just broke me. It's not as if lots of other talented people didn't get in also, only me, which must mean I suck. I practically curled up and died. My mom heard me throwing up in the bathroom, even on days when I hadn't eaten anything. She screamed, "Oh, that's great, just shove your fingers down your throat! How cute!" She threatened to send me away to the psych ward, and it was just this giant mess. She also found out I've been actively cutting, and so she took away all the razors. Then I started using safety pins. She took those away. And now I have a knife hidden in my room for when I need it. My mom is STILL making me feel guilty about getting treatment. I'm seeing a psychologist on Tuesday, and she said he's probably going to put me into a child and adolescent ward. She's like, "I hope you're happy now, they're gonna cart you away." Fine. Bloody fine. At least I won't have to go to my room and lie there trying to hide from her. I am so sorry I haven't been active on DS or kept up with the mailing chain. I've been being strictly monitored, and I'm not being left alone for any length of time. My idiotic therapist insisted I stay off of DS and not do the mail chain for now, because, as she said, it might be "triggering." I looked at her and said "The only thing that will triggered if I don't talk to my friends is a gun to my head." But naturally my parents blocked this website and even thoug I'm back on now, I'm still not allowed to continue with the mail chain. Bloody FUCK. I love you guys so much. I am so so so sorry.

Oh Megan, honey, I\'m so, so, sorry! *hugs* Can you have your therapist talk to your mom? She obviously does not understand, and it kills me that she\'s treating you like that. I love you honey....
Shoot, I don\'t know what to say. I just wished your parents were more understanding. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts. I\'ve been thinking of you everyday and I\'m glad you were able to update. Can you still recieve mail or is your parents not allowing you to recieve either?
ooo im so sorry ur having such a rough time! but i must admit im intrigued to know how u got back on here with it being blocked and everyone around u prohibiting it
ohhhh dear. I missed you! But don\'t feel guilty. You need to get better and thats the most important. I love you, sorry you\'re struggling.
you are aways in my prayers! I heart you!

Please don\'t be sorry. You\'re struggling right now and we can understand why you\'ve been absent. We love you just the same, and I hope you know that we will all be here for you when you are able to come on DS. That being said, I can totally understand how you\'re feeling. I\'ve had depression for a huge part of my life, and it has gotten so severe that I didn\'t think I could go on. But don\'t give up. You will get through this. I\'m not very happy with how your mom is reacting to all of this, but I think it\'s just her way of being worried and wanting you to get better. I\'m glad your mom took away the razors and safety pins, but gosh, having a knife in your room scares me. That\'s not something you should have around when you\'re feeling depressed like this. Do you think you could put it away or give it to your mom? I don\'t want you to hurt yourself...
dear i am so sorry i am just now reading this.. i have been away too but i think about you so much and wish that there were some way i could help you to feel a littel bit better..it can feel so dark and lonely to be so derpessed and i hate to hear you are hurting yourself but i know you are strong and can beat this and will get through this adn things will not always be this awful... i know that you probably don\'t believe that, but i also know it is true.. please hang in there and know youa re loved and when you are ready (or allowed) to come back here we will all be waiting.. you are so very precious dear!
oh hun. im so sorry. my heart breaks for you!!
know that im here for you and we can chat other ways!
hope things a looking a little bit brighter
I\'m really sorry, truly. I know what you\'re going through. I know the feeling of complete and utter darkness/loneliness/depression. I am SOO sorry that you are in a dark, black hole right now, but babes, you CAN and WILL get out! You are soo strong, it\'s unbelievable.
I can also relate to not getting a part in the school play, but every actress gets shot down a billion times before they get a role. Every successful actor/actress has been denied plenty of parts, but they kept going, and I know that\'s exactly what you will do. Don\'t give up. I know it totally sucks, but there will be plenty more opportunities to come.
As for your parents, I again completely relate. Parents can be a pain in the arse. Somehow we have to find a way to deal with them.
