  • Mood: Adoration
After today, i just kind of need to take a minute, for myself, to reflect upon things. To understand what exactly is going on in my life. I haven't taken stock of the situation in a while. And with the mind of a psychologist, I know that's not good. I know I'm motivated to hold my tongue due to the situation that I'm in, because so is everyone else.

I've been in college for 2 months now. Actually a little over 2 months.
Do to hardwork, lack of good food, and simple lack of time I've lost 2 pants sizes and almost all of my clothes do not fit how they used to. I had to go shopping, because my pants were literally falling down, and my shirts were literally drowning me.
I haven't even lost a pantsize within the last two years. To suddenly, in two months, lose that kind of weight? That's weird to me. I didn't even notice until I went shopping.
Why? Because I'm stressed the fuck out, and I'm not eating enough, and I'm exercising too much, and I hate to say this but I have a problem.
I always have I just never wanted to say anything.
I always based my value as a human being on weight. My personality didn't matter. Nothing else mattered to me. My moods are based on how little I eat and how much I exercise. My self worth is based on the number on my jeans.
Every day is a battle for me. When I wake up, from the beginning. I plan every fucking bite, I count every little calorie, sometimes I eat less than 700 calories a day and I go do cardio for an hour because I don't feel like I deserved to eat.
I don't know why I'm so fucked up like that and I know it's a problem and I know I should do something but I'm so sick of being this troubled person. I don't know why I can't just be normal for once. I have it the best out of a lot of people I know but I still have all of these serious issues and it just makes me mad. I don't deserve to have any sort of attention on me. I don't.
That wasn't what I planned on writing about but that all came spewing out.
But you don't understand the intense phobia I have about gaining weight. A single pound. You don't understand, if you've never been obese, you don't understand what that's like, especially as a child. My parents want to deny that they did any harm and maybe I was just predisposed to eat too much, but it was a problem. People treat you differently. They look at you differently. So even though I have this problem, even though it can eat unhealthy, I'm not going to address it until I'm where I want to be.
I don't care if that's ludicrous. I already know.

And hell, am I happy? I have no idea. Sometimes I feel happy, when I'm with my friends or talking to Tony or just talking to someone that I knew before college. But here? No, I'm not happy here. And it's not because I'm lazy and don't want to do work. It's how I'm treated. It's what this place has done to me that's changed me. I barely sleep, I barely eat, I work myself so hard that I take it out on other people.
And it KILLS me because so many people rely on me for advice, and I give them my all and they just ignore me and shit on my ideas
You don't know what that does to me.
And I'm finding that I'm always much, much more emotional here than anywhere I've ever been. I'm crying or manically happy within the same hour, I don't understand why. My mind is always on overdrive, between etiquette to living with people who don't like me to having all of this stuff to do to keeping people happy, and so much more. I am going to break. I know I'm going to break, it's entirely unavoidable, I just hope it's not soon.

And I know this all sounds entirely dismal.
I don't know what to do either, my friends.
So I think I'm going to ride the waves and see if I can change and fix things. Because if I'm not happy, what's the point?

you don't need to worry about gaining weight unless you plan on eating idk a box of donuts for breakfast every day from now on, i hope you know that ;n; as long as you make generally healthy choices it's fine and it worries me you think so much about it... at least you know it's a problem?
im sorry you're not happy at correge-land 8cccc i want you to be

You
are a failed attempt to capsulize a feeling.
:iconspartan021:
It is not so much a problem it is how you were raised and your values and your mental state. You have to change how you look and react to people and to yourself. Don't think about weight as a bad thing, look at it as a good thing, it keeps your warm and if you fall it helps protect your body and if you ever do need to lose weight all the food you need is on your body ^.^
Having body weight is not a bad thing hun ^.^
You feel bad for eating (which I do understand i have been there) but what you need to do is eat and just get caught up in something else that way you do not notice that you eating and before you know it you will have gained pounds. which I know is not what you want. If you are up to it I would go visit a psychologist ( your campus should have one for free) and just talk about it. You could be suffering from a mild for of anorexia (I highly doubt it but I am not a professional)
For your manic-ness that sounds a lot like manic depression. you can beat that it is hard but you can beat it. Some say you can't but I did (sorta) it is more manageable at least.
But college is very stress-ful it is all about time management and if anyone can do it YOU CAN!

(going all psychologist on you)
I want you to say to yourself every time you feel stressed or overwhelmed "I can do it, I know I have and if I sit here I know I can think of a time that was similar to this and I got past it with no issues" (this worked wonders for my stress-outs)

Everyone has issues I have a lot myself. You can beat it your are young and healthy. I wish I could guide you through all of this but i can only do so much with what little knowledge and experience i have. I have to say if you think you can not deal with it and venting on us does not help you out or you feel like your losing control there are Hotlines that can help you if you do not want to talk to someone face to face.

And lastly I have never seen you blow up or angry you have to be one of the strongest people I know, You just have to trust yourself!
if you ever just wanna talk I will give you my number if you want it.

Just hold on and stay in there, and remember there is nothing wrong with seeking help from other people. ^.^

Awww...thank you Nick!!

I know exactly what you mean...I think that's why it's so hard xD because as a psych major I KNOW WHAT'S WRONG and I just feel so ridiculous about it...I'm hoping that maybe I can be happy and figure out why I'm so crazy and negative by December, then if not...

I just didn't want to have to make a big deal about it. I was diagnosed with clinical depression back in the 7th grade and it really hurt my parents, but at the same time nothing was done about it and I prefer things like this don't have the same fate, and I'm sure it's a contributing factor. I don't tell people about it because I'm always so happy xDDD no one ever guesses soo~

I'm sure stress is just really exacerbating the situation, plus you know, first semester, and I'm finding I'm having a hard time adjusting to all the work with no me time whatsoever D: But I don't want to readily dismiss problems. So I'm hoping my lighter course load next semester will help.

It's just hard xD because there's this rational part of me that knows I'm ridiculous! So I should know better D:

But I appreciate it, and I know. I'm really going to try harder with myself before stuffs gets bad. I even made an eating schedule for myself that's normal!! Because this post really scared me DDD:

But thanks you! And I don't has your number DD: it's sadd!
