hello all. i just joined.
kharma_creature asked me to join. and since she is a lovely lovely lovely person, i did.
well, my name is rachel. im 16 years old and live in massachusetts. i've been diagnosed with major depression (runs on my dad's side of the family), anxiety, and borderline personality disorder. i quit therapy back in december because they wanted me on meds. basically, my therapist told me they'd throw me into an asylum if i didnt go on meds. that just wasnt good enough for me. so i stopped seeing her. i just dont want to go on meds for it. i want to deal using natural ways. a better diet, vitamins, aromatherapy.
and here i am. i've been in a bad depression for the past week or so. i've been cutting (have been since i was 13), and also i have an eating disorder.
under the cut is a journal entry i posted just a few minutes ago.
"yeah so i totally fucked up. i got home from my grandparents' house (how fucking depressing). i ran up to my room to try on some new clothes i got. i ended up having another huge breakdown. i was sobbing, all that jazz. i cut my arm perhaps 20 times. then i lost all control and with my fingernails, scratched off a few layers of skin on my arm. then i cut more. i went into the downstairs bathroom, washed and disinfected my arm, and put my arm bands on. i washed my hands really good because i had blood and skin all under my fingernails. my hands still smells like blood.
i do not know what the fuck is wrong with me. the past week i've just snapped. maybe i was right when i was saying i wont survive this summer vacation.
i also have lost all faith in having friends. i only consider 4 or 5 people real friends right now. all others are either party buddies or fake. im sorry, but this is it. i give up in having a social life. im sticking to a small group of people that i actually trust. i'll email you guys and tell you how much i adore you. lol.
FUCK"
here is what i did to my arm. can be a trigger. dont look any further if you trigger easy. please. i'd feel even worse to know that i caused someone else to do this
take care.
