I don’t know what I want anymore

I’m just going to put this here for me to re-read when I’m at a low point. Kind of as a public time-capsule. Bear with me as it’s going to be a lot about I-Me-My.

I was born to a single mom with a lot of personal issues. She was a pretty promiscuous party girl during my early childhood. She dated, and we lived with a few
different drug dealers before I was even 3, not that I minded at that age. I temporarily lived with my grandma for a year from 3 to 4. I don’t have any memory of
this but apparently, according to […]

As a kid growing up, I didn’t grow up happy. The pain I go through everyday of my life does not equal to the average kid today. My biological father was my everything to me when I was young. He was the only person I look up to. We weren’t close, but he was the one in my life that gave me hope and happiness. Around the age of five, I was oblivious to see our family problems. I had no idea what was going on. My father told me in the midst of my sleep that he loved me, that he was leaving. Again, […]

This is not recovery.

written by mysmilecoversalot :)

A year ago I felt so peaceful and free after moving forward on my plans to recover from an eating disorder that had taken over my life and jeopardized my health. I was improving more each and every day, I was enjoying food, and pleasure had been brought back to life. I thought the nightmare was over, I knew relapse was a harsh possibility, but I assured myself I would stay strong. At the time I had no support other than the occasional â€œIâ€™m so happy for youâ€ from a friend. Thatâ€™s the way I wanted it, […]

Everyday’s The Same – A Challenge

by Nari 6/11/2013

written by Nari

My name is Richelle. I am 13 years old, living in Sydney, Australia. This is my first post. The start of my depression began, in my opinion, around the age of 8. I had no friends, so I talked to the school counselor, Wendy, whenever I could. We played Go Fish or Snap and talked all lunch. She was my best friend, and I thought she was so beautiful. I wanted to be like her when I grew up.

The day before my 9th birthday was my last day with her. She said even tho the next day was her day off, she’d come anyway so […]

I turn 18 today, but I’m broken

by mysmilecoversalot :) 4/26/2013

written by mysmilecoversalot :)

Today, I turned 18 years old.

On my 16th birthday, after crying myself to sleep, I vowed to never cry over my family again. Instead of focusing on all of the things that were destroying me, I focused on the diet I had started about 10 days prior. It took control of my entire life. By July I weighed less than 100 pounds, my bones stuck out, but I still wanted to be skinnier. I rarely ate, but when I did, I made sure to throw it up.

I started recovering last summer, June 2012. It went well for awhile, but once school started back […]

I don’t know how I feel

by whateveridc 3/8/2013

written by whateveridc

Same old boring bad background like everyone else:

-My sister died when I was younger, and I still feel like it was my fault that she died.

-My parents split

-Living in poverty since then

– Haven’t lived in the same house for over a year in like 6 years, Â eviction has met us more than once

-Don’t have anyone to trust

This year was the first time I really started to think about suicide seriously. Â I was talking to the schoolÂ psychologistÂ about it and all she did was question me, “Do you have a plan?”, “What steps would you take?”. Â Then she made me call a hotline and I for […]

Please give me some advice.

I’m fourteen years old and currently in middle school. I’m being bullied by a boy in my Spanish class. I barely know this kid but he’s always bothering me. He says the meanest things to me and I just want him to leave me alone. I just mind my own business and talk to my friend, and he just makes rude comments or makes fun of things I say to my her and I wasn’t even talking to him. I haven’t done anything against him or given him any reason to hate me, yet he still does. He’s done this the whole year. He’s even […]

You know that feeling…

by mysmilecoversalot :) 12/26/2012

written by mysmilecoversalot :)

You know that feeling when you are losing yourself again, when everything you’ve worked so hard to build up is falling apart? You know you’re slipping but there’s nothing you can do except pray for strength.

I’m 17 and I’ve felt this way far too many times.

I feel lost, like my life has lost all its meaning.

This year, right after summer vacation I was called into the counselors office at school. Last year I had an eating disorder but refused all the help my teachers and counselors tried to give me. She was just checking on me and I excitedly told her how […]

I can’t explain why…

by mysmilecoversalot :) 12/22/2012

written by mysmilecoversalot :)

I’m 17 years old, a senior in high school. My grades are flawless, I’m going to college next year on an academic scholarship. I’m going to be a neonatal nurse, to save innocent babies. I’ve never drank, never smoked, I rarely swear, I refuse to do drugs, andÂ I’ve told guys no when they want to sleep with me, all to set a good example for my younger sisters. My teachers love me,”I never fail to brighten their day!” Next month I’m going to be an American Sign Language teacher to elementary students and in March I’m going to be an aunt for the first […]

Dear Boddah.

written by PennyroyalTea

I’m so glad of being here again. I was missing this, the people and theÂ entries… everything. I feel really happy right now because I missed everyone.
Haven’t written in a while. It’s because I was busy, being a bad person. I already wrote a note to my imaginary friend (he killed himself a few weeks ago) apologizing because the things I’ve done. I’m sorry, I feel guilty. I think it wasn’t such a big deal but anyway… it was just wrong.
Talking about something else, I tried marijuana Â last tuesday. It was anÂ interestingÂ experience, I wasn’tÂ completelyÂ high but I did was feeling the effects of the drug. […]

Still blue, still sad… but hope…

written by recovery1218

My story is a long one, one I don’t have time to write about completely…

About a year and a half ago, I decided to kill myself.Â I had a mean, selfish, manipulative girlfriend who always accused me of cheating, cheated on me, called me a “disappointment,” threatened to leave me if I ever told a friend or family member about what she was doing, and finally dumped me via a text message.Â I had a “friend” who tried to take advantage of her cheating to make her break up with me so he could date her instead.Â He in turn had a friend laughing at […]

Me in India

by Unique 9/28/2012

written by Unique

A few weeks ago I fled to India, I fled because if i stayed in Ireland I would have killed myself. I have lost so many people in my life, I have made some serious mistakes and I have tried to help most of the people I have encountered. But now I am lost…

Things I have done in India.
1. I have visited people who are so poor its beyond belief, I used to live on the streets but this is crazy, they have nothing and no one cares.

2. I have met some amazing people, people who invite me into their homes and talk […]

Last night i cried myself to sleep.I’ve been hurt so much.Being in middle school has not been the funnest of times because “my friends” bullied me so bad to the point i wanted to kill myself.I still remember that day and how i ran to a ditch and sat hoping somebody would kill me.But when that failed i did a pill overdose. That did nothing too. I prayed and prayed and prayed and asked god why he was doing this to me?! no reply. That same day i walked to my mom’s job as i do everyday.I walked onto her school campus,knowing in my heart […]

Unsure of what to do :/

by Bunny24524 6/18/2012

written by Bunny24524

I’m a monster. I destroy everything I touch. I’m a freak.

These are the thoughts that have plagued my mind for the past two years. It all started when I lost my best friend in 9th grade. After she joined band, we got into different social groups. I always had issues with making new friends, so I became her “stalker”. She began to distance herself from me, and I began to threaten to cut myself to get her to talk to me. At first the threats weren’t serious, but threats always turn into promises. When the cuts eventually lost its effectiveness, I began making suicidal threats. […]

All I needed was a reason

by mysmilecoversalot :) 5/6/2012

written by mysmilecoversalot :)

A few things happened today, one good, one bad.

Starting with the bad, my dad yelled at me for eating today. He yelled at my sisters and I for eating too much today and said that we have to ask before we eat anything anymore. My dad gets really mad sometimes, and when he does he exaggerates punishments. But what he doesn’t understand is how powerful his words are to me. Last year I stopped eating. Starving became my life, calories and exercise were my gods, I worshiped them like no other. I lost 20 pounds, went from weighing 123 to 103 in much less than […]

Not sure that I can move on…

by avrilunited 5/1/2012

written by avrilunited

I always fight with my parents for stupid reasons like food, using computer, using the air conditioner etc. When I prove they are wrong, they yell and shout at me and say that I misbehave! Then, I become extremely aggressive by throwing things everywhere: pillows, blankets, remotes… are all on the floor or broken, I cannot control my anger; sometimes, my father tries to beat me but luckily I run fast to my room and lock myself up to avoid the fight…
When I’m alone in my room, I just want to commit suicide, I just want to write a farewell letter and say goodbye […]

the Mentor

written by the Guardian

She ran from the school, crying, but racing so that know one could see her tears.
She felt alone, suffered alone, in a roaring silence.
what had M called it?
the Black Velvet Curtain
The place deep inside where she hid, somehow knowing no one would even be looking for her.

It all started when HE asked her best friend out instead. “He only used me to get to my friend”
And when she heard the hateful things he called her behind her back it got worse.
Fatty, *****, ho.
She knew what she needed to do, she had a shrt piece of razor hidin in […]

I’m afraid it might all go downhill from here.

written by 2012

I’ve been depressed and suicidal recently with no one to talk of my issues with. I recently decided to talk to the school counselor about my problems. At first, everything was great, but then from the depression test results she decided that she needs to talk to my parents about my depression (the talk is tomorrow night shit shit shit shit fuck fuck fuck fuck) as well as getting me to see my pediatrician about things I can do (antidepressants stuff).

I’m really starting to regret talking to my counselor and wish there was some other way of doing this without making things more complicated than […]

written by Lauren22

it’s not like I have had a bad life… nothing major has every happened to me but I have always felt kinda depressed and social awkward. I can’t go back to a time where I didn’t feel that way maybe in kindergarten but that would be it. I was never the smartest kid I’m my class an I sometimes needed extra help. I have been bullied and made fun of for years. probably starting in 1st grade till now as a senior… I went through so many stages but nothing really ever helped. I have absolutely tried everything I was anorexic on and off for […]
