Lemonade Running through my Veins

Anonymous — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 04:27:45 +0000

I’m 15 I know there are other people out there with worse problems and have had worse experience’s and are much stronger than me, i look up to these people.

After a traumatic experience i started using drugs as an escape route. I was 13 and taking up to 20 pills of valium a day. I felt safe like no-one could hurt me and i forgot about him about his vile instincts which made him sexually, physically and mentally abuse me. I got by on this for a long time i felt i could manage like this however i knew what i was doing was wrong and this hurt me. I could understand why i hurt to i hurt myself to feel pain that i knew why it hurt. As i got a little bit older the world of stimulants and hallucinogens were unveiled to me. It made me feel better like i was a different person and i forgot all my memories. I used these in all different forms, speed, coke, e’s, acid, salvia, weed, shrooms, MDMA regularly up to 7 days a week, when i couldn’t use these i used my good old friend valium. And that was the problem they were my friends, My world and people started to notice. My mum got me help. I was angry, frustrated i didn’t want to talk but slowly i came round to the idea. I opened up…a bit and i was subscribed anti-depressants. I don’t feel them working, even when i misuse them. I took a whole 2months prescription in an hour just to feel something but i just threw them up. When i don’t take drugs i get awful flashbacks i can feel him on me. I self harm to a serious degree to forget for a short while. I use still not as much but enough to help me one moment at a time. They keep telling me its only short term solutions as if i didn’t know, but its not a short term thing is it if your staying on it. I lie to them tell them tell them everything is fine and i feel good. Tell them i’m clean and they leave me alone. I’m an A* Student hoping to go to study high level degrees but i’m still a class A f–k up wishing her life would end.

Playing with fire is a bad, bad idea

Anonymous — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 21:50:53 +0000

I am 15, and my self harm has spiraled so badly out of control. 3 times a day, at least. It’s been like that for the past 18 months. I spend £50 in the chemist each month. I recently split a vein in my leg, and almost bled out. But tonight I really, really messed up.
I looked at my legs and how mutilated they were, wishing the scars would leave. I had a sickening idea. I set cooking oil alight on them for 3 seconds. All my scars are now replaced by one massive bloody, burnt mess. I daren’t go to A&E – they’ll tell me I am a waste on the NHS resources. What if I do this again? I cant stop hurting myself and I have never been more scared.

I can’t lose weight without the help of drugs

Anonymous — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 05:44:35 +0000

I’ve been overweight my whole life. I work out regularly but I’m not great about food. I’ve gradually worked my weight down over the years but I got stuck in one place and couldn’t budge further. So I started taking Phentermine. It’s the only thing that has worked. People say I look fabulous and I do feel that my body is closer to my goal that it’s ever been — within about 5 pounds of a totally flat stomach.

The thing is, I feel totally ashamed of myself for being weak, and unable to lose the weight without these pills. I went off them and gained 9 lbs back over Christmas, so I went back on again. The 9 lbs are gone again, but the shame of failure isn’t. My doctor says Phentermine is safe but I still feel embarraased to tell anyone that I couldn’t do it through self discipline alone.

I want you to understand

Understand — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 03:48:38 +0000

You know what, you should just stop. Stop trying to understand without opening your mind. Please know I’m not going to kill myself, it’s just my way of coping. However, you don’t even know I do self harm.

You kept telling me how stupid cutters are. Stupid, stupid, always so stupid. Why do they like pain? Don’t they know it’s dangerous? You ask.

What about me? Am I stupid? Do you think I don’t know that it’s dangerous? Oh my god, I so want to open up to you, I love you and I need you. But you need to understand, please? Please realise i need help. I’m not stupid or sick, I just can’t find ways of getting things out. And sometimes, if I do bad things, I’ll do it too, to punish myself .

It sounds sick and twisted, but please just listen. I want you to understand- but I know it will just drive you away.

The pretty one

HungryIsBeautiful — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 06:09:43 +0000

I’m 13 years old.
5 feet, 4 inches tall.
160 pounds.
The biggest I’ve ever been was 191 pounds
I wanted to die
I went bulimic
Lost 30 pounds in 2 months.
I was the happiest I’ve ever been.
My mom found out, I’m hardly ever alone anymore, Everytime I do it, she finds out. When I eat, I feel like dying, I feel like I’m the biggest person around me. I cry after I eat. I got to the point to where, it felt better coming up then going down. People tell me I have a pretty face, and it makes me want to gag everytime I hear it. I want to be the SKINNY one with the “Pretty face.” I think about my body every waking moment of the day. How big I am, How fat I am. I would do ANYTHING to be able to puke again. I hate my body. I hate skinny people, I hate them because, they have what I would give the world for, and they take it for granted.

Is it bad, that I would give up anything,…To see my ribs?

I can’t help him

Anonymous — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 07:02:25 +0000

My brother is a junkie. I want to help him but cannot because he is not ready. I’m terrified he will die. I feel weak and angry. I am pissed that there is nobody else in our family who would care enough to even reach out to him. I am angry because he’s been through before and knows better.

I am bulimic

Janelle — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 23:44:18 +0000

I have many self destructive tendensies that i’ve been battling for over 16 years. Today I found out that my best friends (a girl and her boyfriend) and my boyfriend are taking a weekend trip to the beach without telling me. I choose to relapse with my bulimia today, I’ve binged 3 times and purged each time. I am planning on doing it again, and again. I know i should stop, I know the social situation is no excuse, I think im honestly glad i have any sort of excuse.
