    I’m so sad
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be.

    Depressed. Haven’t showered since Christmas Day and I’m going to stay in bed all day today

    Anniversaries of passing are always tough, I try to remember all the good times with that person whether it’s a time they made you laugh or a fun experience

    Waiting for an x-ray then I get to go home. I really want to get out of here. Luckily it hasn't taken too long, mainly because Its been classed as urgent. If I've somehow managed to get some sort of infection in my heart or chest, I'll be pretty unlucky. I'm hoping that they don't find anything. They're only doing all this because dad passed of heart failure and sometimes heart issues are hereditary. I feel fine minus feeling faint in reception, there wasn't a crushing sensation like there was earlier.

    I'm not planning on telling anyone, I just want to go home.

    I've spoken to a few people and it's starting to sound like what I experienced the other day was probably stressed induced. The first time it happened was over two weeks ago accept this time I felt like I was going to collapse without the squeezing sensation in my chest. I thought it might had been from lack of food that morning but it happened straight after a hot chocolate so Idk. I don't often consume a dairy so having high quantity of it made me feel like I was going to be sick in public and that made me panic. Sometimes if I get really scared, it makes me feel like I'm going to faint.

    PTW : Eating disorder
    The conflict between eating and not eating has been ridiculous. I couldn't eat the food my sister made and I actually felt scared, I feel really embarrassed to admit that. The push and pull between recovery and using a coping mechanism to deal with stress has been quite hard. Now it's actually happening I've realised that I just want balance and not to lose control. 

    I don't think I realised just how connected my mind and body were, perhaps I've been more stressed than willing to admit. 

    Tomorrow is another day.

    My head is buzzing. I’m not a good person to be around right now. I don’t like being on my own left with my thoughts but talking to people leaves me overthinking. It’s all so stupid, I feel miserable no matter what I do. I keep crying but I don’t know why.

    But you know what It looks like I’m going to make it to the new year self harm free. And if I lose it in a week that’s ok, because If I stopped before I can stop again.

    Big hugs everyone, here if anyone ever needs anything. No matter what the new year brings you don’t have to go through it alone.
    You matter so much to us and I know that things have been really hard for you. Sometimes we have to just focus on ourselves which can be really hard especially as I know how amazing and supportive you always are. <3 I am here for you. Sending a hug.

    Thank you. I'm just so stressed and really not doing well mentally at the moment. I feel like I have to hide how I'm doing because I don't want to burden others.
