...See more Uhm I don’t really know what to start with, I feel stupid even being on here knowing there’s people out there that need way more help than I do. I’m 16, I started s/h around the age of 12-13 and I’m currently 2 years and 4 months clean even if I’m not suppose to anymore I still have the urge of doing it, just once? I mean my life has gotten better other than not eating properly either eat to much or none at all. I shower every other day, brush my teeth almost everyday sometimes twice, started expressing myself better. But I don’t like anything I use to like. I’m not interested in anything. I use to paint and crochet and read. Anyway back to s/h, I don’t do that anymore, I mean c^tting, if my cat or smth scratches me I’m don’t pull away, and I pick at my scabs all the time. Don’t really know what I’m doing with my life but ik I’m not doing those things anymore. So uh Yippiee?

...See more Hey so last time I was on here I talked about my friend raspberry (fake name) yeah well we were suppose to handout this weekend and she told me she was sick for the past 2 days, still is apparently and that’s why I can’t hangout with her. Well according to her *** and her telling me she isn’t home rn, she’s at orange’s house. (Another fake name) she’s totally replacing me after everything I’ve done for her. I drop everything for her. And she’s been pushing me away and tells me to my face she wants to hangout with me and she’s tired of her mama telling her to be nice to me since I use to be so close to them we were like family and it just feels like she only wants to hangout with me cause either orange can’t or her mama makes her. I don’t really feel like anyone likes me other than my bf, I mean I have a group of friends at school but they all leave me behind and ignore me all the time, one doesn’t respect my boundaries because I hate when my food is touched or people chewing with their mouth open, talking with mouth full, etc and she still does, THEN gets pissy at me cause I’m making her feel disgusting?! I can’t do spit or vomit or anything of the sorts I get grossed out to the point my body physically tweaks out and I start having cold chill like twitching. Maybe I’m delulu? Crazy? -xoxo shay

Backup friend?

...See more I kinda just feel like a backup friend, my closest friend from 2nd grade imma call her raspberry has been replacing me for months with this girl her age we’re gonna call orange, they are sophomores and I’m a junior in high school. They hangout and if orange can’t hangout raspberry goes to me asking to hangout, every hangout it’s cause orange can’t go. But I’m always there for her, for her concerts and if she needs someone, I’m more mature yk. She doesn’t like going to orange for stuff cause she doesn’t take things seriously. But idk I’m just feeling like she’s using me mentally? Idk. Alots going on rn and she wants to hangout to go to this haunted house this weekend and idk if I really wanna go be a backup. She’s turning preppy and acting like orange and even is looking like her, got a nose piercing like her, dyed her hair and cut it just like hers and dresses sort of like her and does makeup exactly like hers. Orange is city preppy kid, raspberry is a country idek how to explain it, they wernt alike. Maybe in paranoid or going crazy or overreacting. Thanks for listening hope it wasn’t confusing.
