You have no id...I was so happy to see your comment. You have no idea just how much I miss your posts. I devour them. Darling, I'm so sorry about Theo, I want for him to come to his senses and wife you up. One day I pray there will be a man in your life who is perfect and treats you like the amazing and strong angel you are. And keep the emotions coming. <br />Healing.<br />Much love!Zoiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15509810764245031340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5226506400762782826.post-42253952323947471732012-04-13T13:32:15.747+01:002012-04-13T13:32:15.747+01:00I can relate and I hate how there's no stoppin...I can relate and I hate how there's no stopping time.

A few years later, while I read the book before taking anti-depressants, I completely understood what Esther meant. For people who haven't experienced depression first hand (or have but are far removed from that dark time for a while), depression and its seriousness is incomprehensible. I remember the time I sat numbly on the floor of my room on Christmas Eve, the time I was on the public transportation in Shanghai with my mom, when the tears would not stop. I had no control over them or the horrid thoughts that consumed my mind. <br /><br />If your life has gotten so out of control that anti-depressants are the only answer to coping, then there's nothing wrong with doing what you need to. I'm sure you know yourself well enough to make the best decision with regards to meds. I've been on Cymbalta for over a year now. It's amazing that a daily 60 mg of serotonin reuptake inhibitor could restore me to my normal functioning self. I hope you leave that dark place soon.Alicenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5226506400762782826.post-32777550315040527372012-04-10T05:01:25.616+01:002012-04-10T05:01:25.616+01:00Wow - I didn't expect to hear from you again, ...Wow - I didn't expect to hear from you again, after my months of disappearance. It's definitely good to be back.. for support, for everything. So thanks :)<br /> You sound like you are blaming yourself for the possible pain you may have caused your mom... I feel the same. I probably shattered her into pieces when she saw my wrist 3 years ago. I stopped a while back, but I still feel bad for her. <br /> And yes, I always want to eat by myself. I don't like it when people comment on how little I eat, or how they've never seen me eat, etc. I especially hate late dinners with a group - rather be in a gym..JKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005399798740676797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5226506400762782826.post-17259733413595009202012-04-10T05:00:04.975+01:002012-04-10T05:00:04.975+01:00i know it's hard, dreadfully so but I have eve...i know it's hard, dreadfully so but I have every faith in you. these are the sort of things, we are going to have to deal with for the rest of our lives, but there can be a time when it get better. you have to fighter, but fuck i know you're a fighter! you DESERVE too be happy, not numb, you deserve to wake up and smile. maybe you don't need to smile because you're happy, you just need to smile because for that second in time you know you're not sad any more. i believe in you, i believe in all of us. we can and will get better. good luck Ophelia, there is a brighter day <3notapplicablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13282729680045835133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5226506400762782826.post-55046619362246238432012-04-09T18:14:10.700+01:002012-04-09T18:14:10.700+01:00I know the feeling love. I've been on and off...I know the feeling love. I've been on and off of anti-depressants for years now (most recently prozac). I ultimately ended up going off of it last month because I began to get exercise intolerance. All I can say is that I think meds are a healthy, acceptable way to block out the pain if you aren't ready to confront it yet. It is PERFECTLY okay to not be ready. But someday I hope you will be able to heal.

I find life overwhelming but not in a good way, as i liked overwhelming, but this is more an overwhelming infinitely fragmented multitude of banalities i seem to have to deal with now, within which i am scared to turn into the same banality and miss to be a least weird. but these meds(SSRIs)have taken more of me than the ED, if i look back on it now. but i can understand, as i find them ever so often ever so tempting. i still think you are amazing the way you are and i know your perspective is a different one. Ok i am rambling (SRYSRYSRY) but no matter everyone believes how happy this would make you - Don't ever try to be average. And no matter what therapists want us to believe - for us there is never an easy way. In no aspect of life and I am afraid there never will be.<br />xxxLoulouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038435727531749819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5226506400762782826.post-28160458539119775372012-04-09T17:21:50.667+01:002012-04-09T17:21:50.667+01:00The country's in real trouble if that's th...The country's in real trouble if that's the case.Opheliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804728080052960584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5226506400762782826.post-68276612188279405582012-04-09T11:57:32.589+01:002012-04-09T11:57:32.589+01:00your mum will be prime minister?your mum will be prime minister?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
