I don’t have anything to write, because I can’t put it into words. Â I’ll just complain.
I’ve pulled away from my friends, and I’m dating a guy that I could care less about because that’s easier than getting hurt.
It’s been a long process, but I’m finally at that point where I can really say that I don’t really have friends. Â I have people that I can count on, but nobody that I would talk to. Â People have tried to help me in the past, but they always end up doing more damage. Â And as for the guy, I don’t really know what to do with him. Â He has no respect for my boundaries, and he’s stolen from me, but I’m so beyond caring about anything at this point to do something about it.
I have a mutilation addiction because hurting myself is the only thing I can control in my life right now.
When nothing goes right, at least I can distract myself with the pain. Â There’s something about concealing such a big secret that appeals to me as well. It’s a secret weapon I can have with me wherever I go. Â You may call me lazy, but you don’t know what I’m hiding under my clothes, and what I go through every day just to get out of bed.
My mom is going deaf. Â We don’t know when it will happen, but it’s going to happen very soon.
I can’t stand the thought of being a source of pain for her when she can’t hear my music anymore. Â She’s consumed with the thought of never being normal again, and it’s agony to watch her go through that.
I am a chronic liar
I lie about everything and anything. Â It pushes me further away from my family when I’m so fake, and makes it impossible for me to feel the real benefits of a good friendship.
I’m in love with an asshole who fed me lies the entire time we were dating, and continues to make me regret ever believing in him.
He strung me along so that he could get into my pants, and now he’s sleeping with my friends. Â I can’t get it out of my head that he’s perfect for me.
I’ve been taken advantage of my whole life.
People have the unfortunate habit of taking from me, usually without realizing what they’re doing. Â They come to me with their problems, because I’m good at fixing everyone else but myself. Â When I cry out for help sometimes it feels like nobody will listen or care. Â It makes me feel weak. Â I’m weakened when people use me for their own benefits and don’t really care about what happens to me afterwards. Â All of my guy “friends” have propositioned me, and a lot of the time I am too uncomfortable to say anything and that’s taken as a yes. I’m too weak to stop it, and a lot of the time I just don’t care enough to fight it. I just wait for it to be over.
I have the unfortunate ability to feel everyone’s pain, and shoulder everyone’s pain and even take the blame for it, when it isn’t my fault.
I always get involved and feel responsible for things that are out of my control. Â I can’t control how other people will behave, and when something happens that ends in pain for one side of the story, I blame myself for failing to predict the future.
I want to kill myself.
But, I don’t want to kill the spirit of my family and friends. Â Sometimes I look for professional help, but those moments are so short-lived that they hardly count for anything. Â It’s hard for me to walk over a bridge without jumping off. Â It’s hard for me to jump in the shower without taking my hairdryer in with me. Â I’m never selfish, I exist only because I want to prevent others from feeling the pain of my absence. Â I am a shell, I am nothing.

Hello BeaGhost…I know what you’re hiding…but your secrets safe with me…but one thing you are is prolific…I commented on one of your posts quite a while back…and was ignored…I believe…so I know you are not new here…and you have started what…312 drafts…one after the other…what else do I know about you?…more importantly you’ve pretty much baffled yourself with your own bullshit…because you are more than anything seeking validation…for the way you are feeling…but that can only come from you…once you decide you are worth beginning the journey of healing…no one can take you out of your own hell…just you…so are you ready?…or do you want to suffer for a while longer?…maybe you don’t think you’ve been punished or punished yourself and others quite long enough…that is your choice…but if you want help…you’ll have to ask for it.
Blessed Be

Hey Amakua,
I’m sorry for missing your comment before. You’re totally right. I waste a lot of time looking for validation when the things I do shouldn’t be validated because they aren’t justified at all. Sometimes I want it so badly, to be better, because I am so tired of not feeling safe in my own head. I just can’t stand the thought of me asking anybody for help, I would feel so pathetic, and sometimes I’d rather go through a lifetime of suffering through the same old stuff instead of taking that one step. I never feel comfortable in my own skin, I never feel like I’m doing the right thing (and quite often, I’m not). I can’t ask for help, because I’m always the one helping other people (a lot of the time without them knowing). I am so afraid of myself sometimes, I’m afraid when I’m in the dark and it doesn’t feel like I’m going to be able to climb out of the hole I’ve dug for myself. I’m too self-destructive to help myself, but too resistant to let anybody else help me. Kind of a catch-22.
I know I’ve written a lot of drafts, I didn’t think anybody would notice haha. But, thanks for taking the time.
Hello BeaGhost,
Be patient with me…I am old ya know…lol…so let’s see. Well I could just relate to this on so many levels…I unfortunately have all my memories. I am clairsentient…and it sounds like you may be as well…do you know what that is?… so how old are you? And when did these feelings start?…do you remember? So I wasn’t exactly wrong when I suggested that you might have felt you haven’t been punished or suffered enough quite yet…self-abuse is the hardest addiction to beat…but not impossible…especially if you can understand where it comes from…the initial need to self harm…do you remember? And do you play an instrument? you mentioned your music.
Don’t want to overwhelm you…lol
Blessed Be

Well to me it kind of sounds like the pathetic ramblings of a pre-teen haha.
I don’t think I’m the same way as you, my bad energy come from within myself and not from outside influences. I’m in 2nd year university, and I can’t pinpoint when this started. The earliest record I have of it is grade 6. Honestly, I was so little when I started hurting myself. I used to scratch my skin with rulers and pencils in grade school, because I had a high pain tolerance for someone so small (and a girl no less). I don’t really remember why I did it, I just remember that it gave me a lot of attention from my peers back then and that positively reinforced me to keep doing it. That’s obviously not the reason why I’ve continued to do it for so long, somewhere along the line I must have started using it to get away from the world, and I’ve been doing it ever since in places that people don’t normally see.
And I play guitar and piano. Sometimes I sing, but never for anyone other than my family.
I didn’t see pre-teen…have you seen some of my rants…thankfully most of them have been removed…lol Myself I was born this way…I know…odd…but it has been validated over and over by my family and doctor…I was born miserable…is this a possibility…but I also remember things that spurred on my anxiety and emotional pain….clearly…I unfortunately have full memory…not always so good…but I’m still processing and putting pieces into place myself…and I’m ancient…so which one of us is more pathetic?…lol…I remember learning to play the piano…I was soooo tiny…had to sit on two family bibles…and tape blocks of wood to the pedals…lol…and I was in Grade 3…hahaha…by the time I got my older sisters hand me downs…they were soooo ugly…her taste is awful…and years out of date by the time I get it….I remember pitching a fit one day cuz I never got anything new…and I insisted that I had to have this maxi skirt of pony leather…well it was a maxi on me anyway…and I wore it twice…and then couldn’t wear it again…someone told me that they killed ponies to make it…and my mother never let it drop…ever…lol I was thrilled when the first 5 and 6 inch heels became popular in the 70’s…I was almost as tall as some then….and oddly enough…I am starting to re-learn guitar this weekend as well…I wonder what other similarities we have? So tempted to ask you what your sign is…lmao…but that’s the old hippie in me. The self-abuse becomes an addiction…that’s easy…but it can definitely morph. Have you been diagnosed with anything…anxiety, depression..ADOanything?…lol…just curious. I was forced to learn piano and spent many years in the Conservatory….but I hated to play for anyone but myself…so it drove me nutz when my Dad and visiting guests would get drinky and he would make me play…Gawd I hated that…the only time I ever felt comfortable playing in front of others…in church…but singing…I do that all day long…I love to sing…I just wish I could…hahaha
Namaste

At the end of your post it says you stick around so others wont “feel the pain of your absence”. I have lost three acquaintances to suicide and several more to high risk behavior. I got over it every time. If the people who know you are healthy they will manage, it will not be fun, but they will manage. If they have trouble getting over the loss of you, that means they needed help anyway.
My .02 worth:
I have been on this earth at least 35 years too long and and hurt a lot of people along the way because I kept sticking around. I have many, many regrets because i kept sticking around thinking I was sticking around for other people when really my internal pain was really just getting acted out on every body around me. I am working hard on my departure so I can finally leave this earth. If you are not happy in this life you are sure to making other people unhappy too.
