Then
* Now
31.07.04/12:14 pm guilt Don't look at me. Don't look at this lumpy body. Don't look at my pale face. Please. Don't look into my eyes. How can i set myself free when i have nowhere to go, nowhere to settle? Surviving by a threads hold. Serving a never-ending sentence for a sin i cannot even place. I feel so deeply cast aside, floating, just floating. Empty. Unresponsive. Deadly thoughts chundering away inside, and yet, so silent. The pills. They haven't moved. I couldn't throw them away. I'm so alone. He is always here, Mum's boyfriend. He spends most of his time down the pub but it is still so uncomfortable. I don't want to step out of place, interupt, i want to disappear. I sit in my room while they argue, and wonder if it's my fault. Did i do something wrong? I don't want him to see me eat, he'll think i'm so disgusting. Cassie came by unexpectedly on Wednesday. It was so embarrasing, 7pm and i was already in my pajamas, infront of the tv, a complete mess. She was on her way somewhere else so only stayed 20 minutes, but i felt so awkward. Exposed, willing to keep my teritory safe and my emotions covered. I had that thyroid test yesterday. It definately wasn't a pleasant experience. I first had to have a blood test and then an injection which hits you with a wave of naseau. I really thought i was going to be sick over the doctor. Later i had to have another two blood tests, at 15 minutes, and then 60. I should get the results back within a couple of weeks. I keep having nightmares. Nightmares of being back in hospital, of fainting in public and falling. The anxiety plagues my dreams as well as my waking days. There was a programme shown on Thursday about a diabetic girl, who suffered from an eating disorder, she skipped her insulin regularly, and because of that she is now blind. It really affected me, but i expected it to. It made me feel so incredibley stupid for all that i do to myself. She seemed so very strong, learning to use her cane and training with a guide dog. I know that if anything similar ever happens to me, i wouldn't be that strong, i'd just break apart, and it would be nobodys fault but my own. I was watching it and binging, and i purged afterwards through desperate tears, feeling intense guilt and the biggest let down in the world. I tested my blood to find the reading of 'HI', and just stared for a moment at those two capital letters. Wondering what the hell i am doing, why i feel the need to punish myself so much, ignoring the insulin pens sitting on my dresser. There was one paricular part that stuck with me - "Teenagers think they are invincible, but with diabetes you can't get away with it." What will it take for me to stop? |
* I could almost cry like tears of blood * and slowly it evaporates * without a scar without a trace * Sometimes too blue the moment passes * overhead so undetected * without default with no perfection * I could close my eyes & sleep forever * locked inside a secret silence * whisper deep into my head * Rewind erase and nothing remains * the way that nothing ever does |
