okay, i dont know what is going on with me at the moment, but i feel like i’m going crazy. i’m feeling a sense of shear panic and confusion. my thoughts are racing and i can’ t focus on a damn thing. i was trying to figure out if this is cycling or just a panic attack or neither. anyway, i tried looking it up, rapid cycling i mean, and somehow got distracted to reading about the top cities in the U.S. with the worst allergies or something related to allergies. i discovered that philadelphia is 25th. in other words, never got around to looking it up. i figure somehow writing this post would make my mind focus on something, anything. i’ m finding, though, that i’m having a tough time spelling and typing and remembering how i got to this state in the first place. in fact, i can’t remember anything at the moment. the thoughts are just racing through my mind like crazy and its making me dizzy. is that a spider? no… or… no. great, now i’m starting to hallucinate too. NO, i am not on any type of drug or medication. hahah so funny and scary at the same time… it’s like hahah and BOO… get it. uhm… yeah. i hope no one reads this. what am i talking about? no one reads my damn blog! so sleepy and so awake. so freaking cold. nah this wouldnt be cycling….. just craziness.

keeping this short, but not so sweet
April 24, 2008i see myself entering a deep depression, triggered by this situation with my grandfather. anxiety has been high and energy very low. so tired that i dont want to be awake anymore. i want to swallow a bottle of pills and not wake up. self-injury has consumed my thoughts. i stare at them in bed, while i’m driving, and looking in the bathroom mirror everytime i’m in there. it’s getting harder to cover up, but again they’re only minor marks. i feel dead and it’s making me miss my boyfriend oh so much. i have been and probably will continue to be more wreckless than normal. wreckless and dangerous.

personality disorder?
April 21, 2008i was reading this blog entry by BPD in OKC about remission for borderline personality disorder. i never considered it as something i might have, but realized that while her entry listed 9 criteria for having the disorder and not having 5 of them would constitute as being in remission i fit most of the criteria! then i found this test from www.SimilarMinds.com and took their personality disorder test. these are my results:
the top three that i had, all in the 70 – 80% range, happened to be of a different type according to them. Schizoid for eccentric (78%), borderline for dramatic (74%), and obsessive-compulsive for anxious (70%). i already knew i had symptoms of the latter, but the other two were kind of a surprise. then again, many of the symptoms for one appear in other disorders. i could probably make it sound as if i had them all!
i guess this only answer would be to have a professional diagnose me, which i have a problem doing. first of all, i don’t want to admit that i need someone else to solve my problems… these minor problems that are really embarassing to me. secondly, i don’t want to find out that i have no disorder at all and i’m just being dumb and trying to put blame for my own mistakes and actions on mental illness. that diagnosis would only be devastating and quite frankly, detrimental. thirdly, do i really want to be loaded up with meds and potentially get an unnecessary addiction? (this would be the worrier in me talking.) finally, i’m too lazy. like most everything in my life, i’m too lazy to do anything. it’s remarkable that i even bother going to work, but other than my necessary duties to survive, i’m a lazy ass.
yes, so maybe i should just quit bitching about being depressed or suicidal or whatever it happens to be if i’m too lazy to even go get diagnosed? but, this might completely defeat the purpose having a blog where i can do all the bitching i want without unwanted attention. so where am i at now?
i cut myself and it’s just a bit swollen now so back to square one.

one life for another
April 20, 2008..and the anxiety continues. now it’s accompanied by fear and doubts. i just found out that my grandfather, who is thousands of miles away, on a different continent, is very sick. he is going to be in surgery on monday and things don’t seem good. his health has been declining in the last few years. i try to prepare, but nothing will prepare me. i wont be able to handle the grief or my mother’s grief any better than i can handle any other situation i’m in. even though i won’t see him and i am just one of his grandchildren, something inextricably connects us. life is so unfair sometimes.
my grandfather, whom i haven’t had a real conversation with since there is a communication problem, is someone you would be honored to meet. he is a great husband, father, and grandfather. he is a good businessman even in an environment that strives to extinguish you. he can make you laugh/smile. he is knowledgable, unrelenting, strong-willed, hard-working, daring, yet stubborn. it will be so sad when God takes him and I will still be here doing nothing with my life. i would trade places with him because he would do something with my life instead of letting it waste away. even though i realize this, i continue to let it happen. so there. guilt on my plate, plain as day.
i need someone, something to distract me from this. i listen to my music straight through on my iTunes playlist and this song is not helping at all. it is “bye bye” by mariah carey. how ridiculously coincidental. i should die instead. i want to cut now and let the pain and guilt numb. lucky i don’t do it much anymore as i dont like wearing sleeves when it’s almost 80 degrees out. i have minimal scars, since they have never been severe, just enough to leave a few marks here and there that someone would never be able to tell the difference between the cutting scars from ones i could have gotten when i fell off a bike when little (which i dont have any). *sighs*

impending doom
April 13, 2008in the last few days, my anxiety level has shot up. before that, i had started worrying that i was gaining weight. it would be easy to concede to someone that 2 or 3 pounds is nothing, but i would be lying. i never really worried about my weight before, but i think there are reasons for this.
when i was younger, i really didn’t care about my appearance AT ALL. i don’t even think i thought about weight. and i mean, as long as i looked human, why did i need to care? when my depression started, i cared even less. my emotional issues were overconsuming so i didn’t even realize that i stopped eating. i never felt hungry. i went days without eating entire meals. if i did schoolwork; it would be right through dinnertime. my parents were rarely home for dinner anyway, and this allowed for it to go on (not that i blame them). i would cut and bruise my arms, but still did not notice that i could hold my wrist and my thumb and pinky would touch or that my ribs were showing. people would say things as the years went by, but i dismissed them. two years ago, i started getting better so i ate more. my bf introduced me to restaurants and different foods, which i appreciate greatly. food is a great experience. still, while my moods change, i have kept the same attitude that i can just eat whatever without having to consider my weight.
i was 104 and now am at 110, so what the hell?! i wonder when joking about my own stomach flubber is going to internalize as hatred and externalize as cuts or bruises. neither has happened yet. at the moment, i’m still in the stage where i worry to the point that i can’t breathe sometimes. i keep thinking i gained another pound, i gained another, and another… look at my belly. look at my thighs. i look pregnant. awfully sickening. i could exercise; i tell myself i will. i hate exercising which is good because i’m too lazy too. my laziness, no motivation, no drive.
if that wasn’t bad enough, my teeth are contributing to my rising anxiety. the top wisdom teeth are coming in and for a few days now, while biting down, they have been hurting the skin on the bottom where they haven’t come in yet. i have the bad feeling that i’m going to have to have them pulled. DREAD. i’m scared of dentists, doctors, etc. i dont want to find out something is wrong with me. i don’t want to end up with some dentist that is horrible and pull all my teeth out or something. i’m just waiting for the teeth nightmares to start. only once did i ever have one.
everyday i am reminded of these two worries, and they are not my only. i am having pains in my chest and my stomach. i dont know if these are due to eating unhealthy or the anxiety or a combination of both. i feel like ripping the fat off my stomach and thighs. i feel like cutting or bruising. i want it to turn purple and blue. i want to bite my lip and taste blood. i feel like taking a shitload of pills and passing out and never waking up. everything hurts.

rocking out the afterlife
April 6, 2008yesterday night, my boyfriend and i rented and watched “Wristcutters: A Love Story”. well actually i did all of the watching. i don’t know that he was actually at all interested in watching a dark comedy.
![]() |
the main character Zia, played by Patrick Fugit, falls in love in the afterlife with a hitchhiker Mikal, played by Shannyn Sossamon. Zia slit his wrists after his girlfriend leaves him and Mikal ends up there from an accidental OD. she looks for the PIC (people in charge) because she believes that it was a mistake. this afterlife they’re in is a place for those who committed suicide. everything there is all grungy and depressing. the movie made me think about what the afterlife would be like. it’s actually kind of ironic. you commit suicide to escape the pain and suffering only to end up in a place that is just as worse if not more so because of what you did. i can’t imagine myself to completely cease after death, that i would never be able to think again or feel. but then, would it just be a viscious cycle of pain and/or indifference? or, is it possible to get a second chance like Zia and Mikal did? maybe i’ll be reincarnated or something. i mean how do i even know i dont have any past lives now. maybe my weird dreams are memories of them.. okay too much thinking about it and too confusing really.
anyway the movie was really good. they were so cute together. i can’t believe i’m a sap for love stories….
