checking in (the end might be triggering)
Posted by mego on Sat Jul 6 04:48:01 2002 (#4685)
hey guys... i don't really know why i'm back. feelin shitty again tonight. confused, headache, all that good stuff. i'm not fucked up, i want to be in a way, but after bein blown outta my mind for the past couple days, its kinda nice to be able to stand up straight. never thought i'd hear myself say that. yeah... shit. fuck guys, fuck parents and friends and everything else everyone thinks is real, because nothing is. maybe its best to just sit and watch everything go by and watch all the people who claim to be "normal" and thank god, or whatever the fuck you believe in, thank something anyway, that you're not like them. guys, we're not crazy, we just see things how they really are. read this:
Prosthetic Head
I see you, down in the front line.
Such a sight for sore eyes, you're a suicide makeover.
Plastic eyes, lookin' through a numbskull.
Self-effaced, what's his face.
You erased yourself so shut up.
You don't let up.You have a growth that must be treated
Like a severed severe pain in the neck.
You can smell it but you can't see it.
No explanation identified 'cause you don't know.
You don't say.And you got no reply.
Hey you, where did you come from?
Got a head full of lead, you're a inbred bastard son.
All dressed up, red blooded, Amannequin
Do or die, no reply, don't deny that you're synthetic.
You're patheticthats life right there, thats all the material bullshit that everyone lives by. guys, don't ever live by that shit. if it takes blood to keep you like this, thats what it takes. don't try to change yourself for anyone else. its not worth it, nothing is worth making those bastards happy. just be what you want to be, fuck their opinions. thats how i'm thinking right now. if you're in the middle of dinner and everyone is driving you crazy, get up and walk away. if you're at work and someone pisses you off, tell them to fuck off, if you're in the middle of a crowd of people and are thinking of too much shit, just scream. i did it, i wasn't straight at the time, but i did it. it felt good, and if you're with someone who is real like you, they won't care. if they get mad or look at you weird, they're fake like everyone else. don't live your life with people like that, you dont need them. all you need is to do what makes you feel good. ha, there's my speech, beautiful huh?? nicely planned out. yeah, right. all bullshit. i don't know why i came on here again in the first place. i cried over him again today. i told myself i wouldn't let myself cry over him again. it had been 4 days since i had. and i broke down and cried. i didn't let anyone see me, like it wouldnt count if they didn't know. but i know. why do i let him upset me?? thats all he ever does. i can still taste him and feel his hands against my skin and everything he made me remember to hate. i wanna cut, its been too long. way too fucking long. tonight. i can't wait till they're all in bed and i can bleed again. feel the blood sticky on my hands and know that the cuts will be there and real when i wake up, like nothing else ever seems to be. its gonna be great.

That's right Mego...if they can't see you for who you are...then there fucked up worse than you are. Who want's to be normal? I could care less. Normalsy is the absence or reality. by far.
Cut your pains away sweet...and let that blood flow like the river of life...because it's the only thing thats keeping you going.
GoodHunting Mego...

sorry guys, i just keep doing that. i dont know what it is. pannic attacks or something, i dont know. i cut myself (guess you all figured i would) deep enough to soak through my clothes, i put bandages on them so i wouldn't ruin any more clothes, it soaked through all of them. it was crazy, at first i was cracking up, i was smiling, it felt so good, then i got scared because of how much blood there was, and started crying, then i calmed down a little, cut a couple more times, finally relaxed and fell asleep. this morning when i took the bandages off a few of them bled again. i wanna cut now, just no room anymore. i think i'm just gonna go over some of the ones from last night. my uncle is staying with us, he totally covered for me earlier when my mom called. her and my dad are gonna be PD'd when they come home tonight. thats gonna be fun. time to see what we have in the medicine cabnet and for my razor. sweet dreams everyone.

Hey, guys - it's me from way back
Posted by laura rose on Sat Jul 6 06:14:30 2002 (#4687)
I remember when I first started posting on psyke... it was a couple of years ago.. back with Nuni, and Maggie... and Lori.. and Kay... I miss all of you guys...
*sigh*.... I've been doing good, if anyone cares. I'm not really cutting anymore... people at my work think I'm crazy because I have scars all over my arms... but that's okay.
I'm still in my relationship with Hersh.. and Cameron (my son) is 4 now.
I'm on a new med called "wellbutrin".. it's cool, I guess.... I've only cut once or twice in the last 6 months.
I love you guys... stay strong.. I'm here for all of you.. If I can make it out... I know you can to..
Take care...

My new online journal!
Posted by Broken Girl on Sat Jul 6 13:50:58 2002 (#4691)
Hi
got a journal at diaryland.com, thought that if any of you are bored and feel the need to be depressed (which we all do at some point!) you might like to read it.

Posted by Dawn on Mon Jul 8 05:34:55 2002 (#4719)
Thank you for the idea. It will be good to have one of my own. Something my kids can read as I journey to deaths door. Although, I don't want to die now. But if my days are numbered then I want my kids to know how much I love them and maybe it will help them get through the grieving process. Again Thanks.. Dawn

shitty piece of writing
Posted by Death on Sat Jul 6 15:37:33 2002 (#4693)
hey people,
This is a thing that i wrote when i got really really down, it is very very crap but hey.... here it is
Black dark, pain endless not noing wat to do or where to go. Trapped cold upset, tears. Hot slashes deep red purple blood. Adrenalin rush pumping,veins swelling, cuts surging. Life is shit, never ending. Blades peircing brains bursting, muscle tearing crushing bone. No one is there just black, illusions, voices, screaming. Words of grief, hatred, suffering. Wanting to be anywhere but here. Mind spinning, vision blurring, stomach rolling. Smoke rising, all body senses confused. Needles puching poisin into veins, nice poisin, poisin numbing pain. Blackness is darker, needles wanted, poisin wanted, no more pain wanted. INhaling smoke, have no control, no feelings, no pain, heaven. Tears falling, mind lost, no thoughts, just black. Close to the end, i see no light but a redness surging at the of the grim black hole. Getting closer i feel heat and my pain returning, my heaven, where has it gone? Need more poisin, cannot move, to much pressure. Deep red filling my brain, flames incinerating my heart, have no soul. Silver blades, they haunt me, the voices are back screaming get out, get out. BUt where i shout? I cannot run, i cannot move, my head is to heavy to lift. Wake up, wake up she screams, a woman with a needle and cuts up her arms, Get up! My mind is lost in smoke and flames, i have no heart. The redness gets thicker, a trap, no more black just endless sheets of red filling my eyes with tears. My head banging, beaten with a wooden stick, over and over again, never stopping.My ribs crushe by stones, red hot stones, burns pulsing with blood, oozing out my last flow of oxygen, its too much to take, let me go i scream get me out. My arms hacked by by blades, drenched in blood, a glimpse of bright white from the huge tear in muscle revealing my bone. A low voice chants at me, follow the flame , you will get you heaven, your pain. A grim smile spread across my face, my poisin, my heaven its back.
Sorry about the spelling, i'm shite at that too. Sorry for wasting ur time
Death

Re: shitty piece of writing
Posted by Sam on Sat Jul 6 19:40:04 2002 (#4698)
That's pretty cool - it's like stream of consciousness writing. I've written stuff like that before, but this is good shit. It's pretty much all-encompassing, the way everything swirls around in your head when you're depressed, but somehow you still feel nothing.
Good stuff - keep it up if it makes you feel better.

"Unwanted"
Posted by ~lone wolf~ on Sun Jul 7 04:50:36 2002 (#4704)
All I did was walk over
Start off by shaking your hands
That's how it went
I had a smile on my face
and I sat up straitOh ya ya
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show youYou don't know me
Don't ignore me
You don't want me there
You just shut me out
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
If you had your way
You'd just shut me up
Make me go awayNo I just don't understand why you
WOn't talk to me It hurts that I'm
So unwated for nothing don't
talk words agianst meOh ya ya
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show youYou don't know me
Don't ignore me
You don't want me there
you just shut me out
You don't know me
DOn't ignore me
If you had your way
You'd just shut me up
Make me go awayNo I just don't understand why you
Won't talk to me It hurts that I'm
So wanted for nothing don't
talk words agianst meI tried to belong It didn't seem wrong
My head aches It's been so long I'll
write the song if thats what it takes-

I'm Back!!!!
Posted by Rhonda on Sun Jul 7 18:02:48 2002 (#4708)
I just wanted to let you all know that I'm back.
You all have been so supportive and it just stuns
me as to how much everyone cares. I thank you for
all the emails and the posts on the board. It is
very comforting to know that I have so many good
friends. You are all blessings in my life and I
hope to be here for a long time or for however
long you need me. My family is doing okay. Tara
took this really hard as did Tasha. This was the first funeral they had been to. Both of them had
grown up knowing Mema and were very close to her.
But they will be okay. They have a family around them who loves them very much. I know my grandma
is in Heaven with her family who has passed before
her and with her Lord. That is a huge comfort to me. To all of you, thanks again for all your support. You all mean the world to me.
Love you all, Rhonda-

I am really sorry that I didn't send you an email... I have had limited web access and will for the next couple of weeks...That doesn't excuse it though.
I was thinking of you though.
If you are interested then I am doing a project, you probably read about it...just wondering if sometime, when you are feeling better, you could give me your thoughts from the point of view of a mother...
Only when you are feeling better in yourself though...I will send you the email to look at if that is okay...just send it back if it is not!!!!
Nicke.
P.S. I do really hope that things start improving for you because you deserve it, you are a pillar of strength for everyone and deserve some luck.

I am having trouble at the minute finding time to do everything so I will just send everyone on this board the standard email that I am sending with all the information on my project.
If you don't want to be involved then you could just disregard it but I suspect that a few people are interested and if not you may change your mind when you read it...
I will also get round to sending some posts soon...

too confusing
Posted by Vapor on Tue Jul 9 01:25:35 2002 (#4732)
i spend too much time trying to distinguish reality from fantasy... trying to tell whats real whats not what was real what was not. i can no longer stand it. ive lost touch with social convention. i walk around in a daze, respond in a confused manner when spoken to yet my head is clear. clear in envisioning theory. math and science flow at an astonishing rate. polymer science has become a hobby, thermo chem seems like child's play. yet i walk down the street seeing not knowing what is a creation of my mind, what is flashback and what is real. its not that im delusional and its not that i truly dont know but it i dont know. forget it i give up.
Later, Vapor-

I can empathise in that I constantly wonder what I dreamt and what I didn't...I have had many a conversation where I have spoken to people and realised they don't know what I am talking about because I dreamt it.
Only problem is that I have np clue what to do about it...I am so sorry for not being able to offer advice...

HELP ME PLEASE
Posted by ALANA on Tue Jul 9 06:59:12 2002 (#4735)
I'm losing it again. Just like before.
I'm a cutter who doesn't partake in the act of "cutting" all too often anymore. But TONIGHT I WANT TO SOOOOO BAD. Thinking of the past and what I've done to myself makes me sick. I can't erase what has happened, although it seems as if I've tried to considering I can't remember anything that happened last year. I don't remember what I was like at all. Somebody different. NOT ME.
Calling all old psyke posters - what was I like before?
Let me die.
Love, Alana

Hi Alana
I remember you though you may not remember me. Your post always made a lot of sense, thats the main thing I remember... oh god, Im sorry. As the depression worsens my memory is deteriating. Same situation as you I guess...
Imagine the most comforting thing anyone can say to you right now, then imagine it is typed here.

Alana, if you are the same Alana who I spoke to the last time I was on the board about 18 months ago or more...then I remember you being a very supportive person to all on the board.
I remember you for being a good friend and source of strength and support when I needed it the most.
Try to find a distraction when you need to cut, and try other coping mechanisms.
Email me hunny, I wanna help.

Re: HELP ME PLEASE
Posted by *me* on Tue Jul 9 16:23:57 2002 (#4758)
Alana, be strong. YOU ARE STRONG. I know that you are. You can get through this. Please take care. Post here, or write, or cry, or just run out of the house and run around the block until you feel like your lungs will burst...do something but don't cut - don't cut unless you feel you have to to save your life. I know that cutting has kept every one of us here on this earth, so if you HAVE to, don't feel too bad. Cutting is our coping mechanism. Just BE CAREFUL and don't cut too deep and make sure to CLEAN and BANDAGE anything you do. Sweetie, I wish there was something I could say to make things better...just know that we are all here for you and we care about you. I think of this board as sort of a second family. Take care and stay safe. I'm here if you need me.

I know how you feel all to well. Everyday Im realizing I have no friends who care for me. The number keeps growing smaller and smaller till I woke up this morning and I realized the number was 0. Thats why Im not at school. I feel I should pretend to be happy but I just cant do it anymore.
If you can relate to any of my rant above and ever need a little empathy feel free to email me whenever.
Love Ella x

Hey there NoBoDy, it may not mean much to you but I wanna help you if you will let me.
It sounds to me that you are among the many on here who have a low self-esteem.
You feel like people are feeling that they 'have' to say something because the only other possibility is that there do actually care. And that scares you for some reason...or maybe it doesn't scare you maybe you just can't believe it...or don't want to believe it.
Well, I for one, don't know you admitedly, but want to get to know you so that I can help you to get your self esteem back and learn to accept that people care.
Email me if you want to hunny, I would like that.

Don't feel so bad - I know a lot of us here on the board feel like there's nowhere else to turn - that's why this board exists, isn't it. I'm always here to listen, even to what you might think is "stupid."
Stay safe,

dreams and driver's ed- odd mix
Posted by *Poison on Tue Jul 9 12:07:01 2002 (#4740)
hey there. i've been living at my dad's for the last week and a half and i noticed that i've started dreaming again. i love to dream it is my only way to look at the past and discover what really happened. why i am like i am. my dreams are my savior my answer to all of my questions. if i don't dream, i don't fully live. yeah i'm fucked up i know.
on a second note.
i'm hopefully going to get my driver's license today. but i doubt it because my dad lost my birth certificate and social security card which i need for identification. damn promises. always made to be broken. getting my license means sooo much to me because it means that if people in my house are pissing me off i can get away from it all. it is my escape my solace. my dad will probably blame me for not being able to go today because i didn't inform him earlier of the birth certificate social security card thingy. everything is always my fault, i'm the irresponsible one. it's not my fault he should have them and he lost them. GRRRR it makes me sooo mad. i had a dream about how i was going to react to this too and it wasn't pretty....Amanda

I wish I could dream, but I just don't seem to dream anymore, just blankness. lucky you!
Im fourteen, so obviously I cant drive but I wish I could. It would be so great to drive away on and on, till the shouting fades. good luck with finding the birth certificate and card and good luck with the driving test.

There's no use frustrating yourself over not having your license. I was supposed to get mine in November (my birthday), but I was changing schools and that messed everything up, not to mention the fact that I had never been so depressed before.
Sorry, I'm babbling. I got my license a week and a half ago, but my mom keeps reminding me that she can have it revoked as long as I'm a minor. (I'm not sure if that's an Illiois law or what, but my driver's ed teacher said thae same thing.)
Anyway, be patient about getting your license, and don't abuse the privledge (sp?) when you get it. Let me know how it turns out.
Oh - and the dreams thing! You're really lucky you have that as an escape. I've had nightmares my whole life, AND I sleepwalk, so I'm almost afraid to sleep.
If you meant daydreams, just ignore what I said. (Shut up, Sam. No one wants to hear it.)
love always,

well we finally found my birth certificate and social security card, we had to call my dad's ex fiance to come over and find it though. which was a great guilt trip for me seeing as how he still loves her to death and seeing her makes him pretty much suicidal. I went for my license today and i passed! my picture just makes me realize how fat i truely am and how badly i need to stop eating. Nicke- I post on and off with the board, i used to post regularly then i stopped posting for a long time but now i'm kinda back. i've been on for almost a year now. i think it is a law everywhere that your parents can revoke your license because it is the same here is New Hampshire. one of my only solaces of the day now is to wait for my dreams at night. i find myself trying to fall asleep as much as possible so that i may dream. well i've blabbed enough. thanks for listening

backsliding and slicing away again
Posted by Marie on Tue Jul 9 15:04:47 2002 (#4741)
Hey guys... Most of you probably don't remember me, I haven't visited in a while. I was doing so well... but I cut last night for the first time in nine and a half months and I'm so upset with myself... I have been working so hard and I actually fooled myself into thinking that I was safe, that I was better... now I'm just so mad, and depressed and all I can think about is my next cut, I just want to go out and buy another clean razor and slash away all the emotion, all the anger and disappointment... slash my way to blessed numbness...
Is there anyone out there who can help... anyone who's got advice? I really don't know what to do...-
Re: backsliding and slicing away again
Posted by Broken Girl on Tue Jul 9 15:26:50 2002 (#4743)
Hi
everyone slips up on the way to recovery. absolutely EVERYONE. Its ok to want to cut, that doesnt mean your failing. I dont know what else to say, but you are in my thoughts,
good luck,
love Ella x -
Re: backsliding and slicing away again
Posted by Nicke on Tue Jul 9 15:52:15 2002 (#4754)
First thing, don't be upset with yourself...you are only human and these set backs and slips only serve make us stronger.
Try and find another way of coping, I heard someone post about ice cubes being a godd distraction...also there are other ways but you must find one personal to you...
Email me if you wanna chat or anything...
Nicke.
P.S. Welcome back, I wish it could have been under better circumstance but that's okay.

Not at school again
Posted by Broken Girl on Tue Jul 9 15:24:31 2002 (#4742)
Hi
As you probably guessed from the title, yet again I am not at school. Only went to school twice last week, only been to school for one day this week and already Im not turning up.
Told mum I have a headache, she didnt believe me but she hasnt said anything. By the way, the 'talk' was cancelled because dad decided to go on holiday to Greece rather then turn up for his weekend and take Joe and Lily. So its tommorow instead.
I have no *real* friends in the *real* world. I realized that in therapy yesterday. Im gonna ask mum to let me go to the doctors and take anti-depressents and try different therapies.
Getting desperate...
*sigh*
Im tired, see you later, love Ella x-
Re: Not at school again
Posted by Nicke on Tue Jul 9 15:30:15 2002 (#4744)
Hey girl, hang in there sweetie pie...
School, college, they all drag when you are depressed...can seem to concentrate or be motivated to do something...on the other hand it can be good just to get out of the house, a change of scenery or take your mind off things for half an hour.
Only problem is that you never know what kind of day it is gonna be eh?
Take care, and good luck with your mum and asking for treatment...also, email me if you need to.

Hollyoaks.
Posted by Nicke on Tue Jul 9 16:07:34 2002 (#4755)
For all those who live in Britain and get channel4 there is a story line in the programme Hollyoaks about a girl who cuts herself.
She is protrayed as a 'needy' person who suffocates her relationship with her boyfriend. He is supportive but doesn't understand and is scared that she will cut herself again.
He is 'driven' to his ex and they kiss, this is caught on camera and the piture is shown and there high school dance in front of everyone which makes Lisa, the character, cut herself quite badly.
She is met with a range of reactions and the story line basically reflects life in the most part except that she is seen as a very needy, clingy person which I didn't like but hey, it is a start.
Nicke
P.S. the show is on every Monday and Tuesday between 6pm and 7pm. And the repeat is on every Sunday on T4 about 10.30am.

Hi
I love HollyOaks!
I agree with you about the way she's represented. She seems so clingy! But your right, its a start. Hits on self harm web sites have gone up since the storyline started, so it is doing some good. She thinks she has it bad! She should see my familys reaction!
Love Ella x-

a progressive & life-threatening disease
Posted by murie on Wed Jul 10 00:25:52 2002 (#4774)
I haven't been doing very well, the food issue has been massive for me this week, since I let myself eat a tub of vegan ice cream a week ago. Ever since then I have been on an alltime low, feeling sick after eating or drinking anything, yet still absteining from starving out of fear or bingeing. It resulted in another (the last I hope) rock bottom on friday night when I found myself purgeing after eating some "trigger" food (I hadn't purged for 3yrs & couldn't believe it was happening again). I ended up cutting (thinking that I would be able to keep it safe) - the result was that I very nearly died & it was so horrible
thats the bad news. On the positive side of things, it seems like a relief to finally have hit a rock bottom again. The only way for me now is total absteinance from drugs, drink, disorderd eating and self-harm. I never want to self-harm again & I know I've said this a thousand times before, but friday was worse than ever & really frightened me. I never want to allow myself to self-harm in any way again, my relapses in cutting have been very very dangerous & my burning has lead to severe depression & disordered eating & very near fatal injury. I know it's one day at a time but honestly I've really had enough this time.
I saw my doctor today, she was really good. I've gone back on prozac & she's going to arrange for a community psychiatric nurse to visit me & hopefully I'll go back on a care program also. So finally I've had the guts to say that I'm still very ill & need more support. (In the past my only way of asking for more help was through more frequent & severe self-harm & I never got more help really, because I'd then convince everyone (including myself) that I was ok.
my mistake that lead to this relapse was that i became complacent. I forgot that my self-harm is part of a progressive & life-threatening disease that I have. I let the professionals cut off my support system, when I had been absteinant for some time from ative self-harming. I knew it was dangerous for me not to have the support & that I would only have to ask if I needed more support but I guess I was too worried about being seen as "needy" & not enough worried about the dangerous condition I live with. I hope my sharing this will be of some help to others aswell as to myself.

that totally helped me because I'm a recovering drug addict and I have recently been feeling as though i am going to relapse. And I know that I need to reach out for help again but I've been clean for so long that i think (in my stupid brain) that i can handle it. but what u said kind of made me think twice about that and maybe i DO need my support system back before i relapse and have to start all over again :) thanks

Re: a progressive & life-threatening disease
Posted by Dawn on Wed Jul 10 05:09:19 2002 (#4784)
Thank you very much for your candid sharing. Even I forget that I too suffer from depression which when faced with a lot of stress I turn to my scissors for help. I too think when I do cut that it is only going to be a small cut but when I start I don't want to stop. And I don't until blood starts flowing almost uncontroalbly. At which time I get frightened and go to the hospital for stitches and a vow to not cut anymore.
I get complacent with NOT CUTTING. Thank you for reminding me that I am always one crisis away from cutting.. :) Dawn
