I would like to hide away from
the world, and not have to face
anyone. Shame is eating away at
all of me. I'm sad and angry,
and sure that I deserve to feel as
bad as I do. I feel like a horrible person
who doesn't deserve anything.
I'm tired of all of the labels,
but what's one more,right?
Who the hell cares anymore?
I'm in a negative, rageful mood, and
dangerously filled with self hatred.
Oh, there are ways to fix these feelings.
I can stuff them down, starve them away,
getting lost in the minutia of the one
label that I hang onto for dear life.
How do I deal?, and maybe I'm not meant to.

Aww Angela I'm sorry you're feeling this way today. Forget about the labels that everyone else pastes on you. Just paste your own label right over top and to hell with the rest. Just remember that the label you use should be the one that says "I deserve the best" or as a substitute for that one you can use "I AM WORTH IT"
Hope you're feeling better long before you read my dopey advice...lol

Angela, we all feel this way at times. I know I do. Labels are for merchandise, not people. Forget them. The anger, rage and hatred you are feeling can be shed by thinking of those you love and those who love you. Do something that makes you feel good. It doesn't matter what it is, it could be something as small as taking a nap, the thing is just do it. You will get through this.

Certain The moon follows you at night when you are a child Oh yes, it does of that I'm certain And the stuffed animals with their neon colored synthetic fur they talk to each other when you close the bedroom door Oh yes, they do of that I'm certain And you can hear the angels whisper and the jingle of sleigh bells on Christmas Eve And dandelion seeds are tiny ballet dancers twirling in the wind The fairies hide beneath the willows And if you lie in confession with your fingers crossed you won't go to hell And with the moon behind you are always safe when you are a child Oh yes, you are of that I'm certain Angela Minard2009©

Just Snap Out Of It

The weather here is still dreary, drizzly, and cold. I sit here as I type, wishing for fingerless gloves. Yes, I would wear them:) I'm still struggling with the depression, but reaching out for help. My psychiatrist raised my medication dose, so hopefully that will help. Eating and more nutrition would also help my mood, and yesterday I did better than usual, but today it was back to restricting. The full feeling is hard for me to sit with, even though I know that it will pass if I give it time. I just didn't want to go through that today. My nutritionist weighed me on Wednesday, and I've lost weight, although she wouldn't tell me how much. That is fine. I already knew I had lost, and though the eating disorder is thrilled by this, there is another part of me that is afraid. I'm afraid that I won't find my way out of this, ever. I'm afraid that I will always be ruled by weights and numbers, food and calories, the mirror and my distorted mind. I'm really ...

Combat

I’m sadly detached, as if I’m watching myself through a window. Everything is dreamlike and surreal, with the world spinning in slow motion, and yet I can’t seem to reach myself. I was hoping that some of the depression would lift. I don’t feel as hopeless, but I’m still feeling sad and despondent. I can’t pinpoint a reason as to why I’m feeling this way which is so frustrating, because I would fix it if I could. I’m glad to be at work, I’m slowly increasing my food intake, I’m going to all of my therapies, taking my medications, and going to the addiction recovery meetings. I’m doing what I can to take care of myself, but still this sadness hangs over me. I’m so tired of feeling this way. I’m hoping that the warmth and sunshine of spring will pull me out of this darkness. I always seem to lose hope in the midst of winter, so maybe the grey, dreary days wear me down, making me more susceptible to depression. I just don’t want to go through another winter like this. I need to find a way...
