Hey this is me.... (possible trigger warning)
Hey, this is me.. some call me soul or twisted, either or is fine. I am of no importance and in all likelihood, in a few minutes I won't even be a fleeting thought in your mind. I spend all my time alone. Well I share my life with 2 dogs. My rescuers. I'm not used to asking for help, I'm not used to having anyplace to turn to . I have social anxiety, so this feels twice as hard as it should. I found an bottle of Wild Turkey in a cupboard this weekend ,so, I had a few swallows of liquid courage. Hey, it's 5 o'clock somewhere right? Yeah I know it's not helping my state of mind. Especially since I'm depressed. Lay on the floor, stare at the ceiling for hours depression. Same song on repeat. Rest stop by Matchbox 20. Not sure why I settled on that one. I think it's the lyric's.. Are you listening, can you hear me.. Have you forgotten.
Today make's it 11 days since I last self harmed. It's there though, in the front of my mind. I'm trying to fight it. I can see it in my mind. I do not want to do this. I don't. But it there, you know. It's always there..waiting, lurking, stalking. I catch myself staring at my hands, they aren't my hands. I mean they are but they seem to have a mind of their own. They are not my friends today. They want to reach for the sharpest tool I own and just cut. Tip to tip.
In the fleeting moment that I might cross your mind, Maybe just send a happy thought my way.
They should have took the stupid notes section - I can't freaking do anything with that
@mytwistedsoul

@ThePizza
They honestly should have taken notes bc this is so weird.
@sunshinegiraffe123

I just want to be accepted
pardon me
I'm tired of being addicted

I want to stop messing my life up
pardon me
I want friends ..

@MonBon
Mon idk how to do that

@ThePizza
Oh thanks but I think I'm muted from the community
@sunshinegiraffe123
oh no :/ hopefully someone will be able to fix that soon
@sunshinegiraffe123
You've been posting here so you aren't muted from the forums. Wise gave you a link to the subforum so you can post there <3 if you don't feel like this is the appropriate community (this is for self harm topics) I can find you a more appropriate one as well
@MonBon
This isn't the appropriate one but I don't know where I belong anymore.
@sunshinegiraffe123
I recommend trying this subforum: https://www.7cups.com/forum/GeneralSupport_28/DiaryEntriesConnections_1597/
It's open to supporting on any topic and can be a thread for people to just support you <3
Boy busy head - so um - This maybe be a bouncer. Anxious - about as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. My grandmother used to say that.
You know I've been here allmost a year? Doesn't seem that long
So um - there's alot of changes going on here. Change makes us nervous - changes usually means bad things. Change means the rules change - with the rules changing - Idk you have to be careful. Idk how to explain it. Once things are gone - they don't come back. Change is forever - you now?
It might seem like a stupid simple thing but I am seriously missing my feed. It was tucked away - alittle island in here. Not many people knew I used it - at least not the way I did. Stupid - yeah but it was important.
Idk - coming in here is like walking into - well it looks the same on the outside but it's what's inside that matters. The heart of it all and IDk - there's heart being lost in here. It could be a mansion outside but if the inside is a shambles - it doesn't matter what the outside looks like.
I read between the lines of things and I know everything boils down to money. People need to live. So I don't fault people for wanting to pay their bills and feed their families.
Idk - I see what's going on here and how people are losing their voices - they're being taken from them because their voicing their concerns and dislike. Their fears and while we're all allowed to feel the feeling we have - we're really not. In between those lines is this is how it is - like it or leave it. I felt insignificant before. That blip on the first page. But now - Idk - I honestly don't. An even smaller blip - barely registers on radar.
Type delete - type delete
Idk - there so much I want to say and it's all crowding in. Idk - I guess the short of it - is - I'm scared of the changes.How freaking pathertic is that. I try to prepare for anything but I can't prepare for these things. No one can say it'll all be ok - because it can't. It's changed. So idk - jump off or jump back.
Idk F*ck Idk - oh man now's not the time for a panic attack
@mytwistedsoul
THIS IS SO TRUE !!! I mean I've lost my voice what am I saying..
im fine perfectly fine just can barley breathe..
@mytwistedsoul
Several times today I've gone to post on my feed or check the feeds of others and-- just seeing it gone has made me pretty sad. All the sudden I have a lot to say on my feed-- it always seems to go like that-- you notice how much you needed something once it's gone.
It isn't pathetic to be scared of the changes-- we're all trying to figure out and navigate these changes-- just have to see how it goes. For those of us who are unhappy with the changes, I think most if not all of us feel at least some nervousness for the upcoming changes. What we know is tilting-- I guess we'll have to wait and see if we regain our balance or fall over.
Take care
@sunshinegiraffe123 Hey How are you?
I could have swore I saw something in here somewhere that you said you had been unmuted but I can't seem to find it now. So I figured I'd check in and kind of double check - since it was so nice of the people that were tagged during this let us know what was going on.
@mytwistedsoul
I can 1-1 with my listeners but I can't talk to any members because apparently I can't be trusted in the rooms and I'm not ready for them. It's honestly BS and I'm pretty annoyed rn..
@sunshinegiraffe123 In looking around here this morning - I did see that there's been alot of new changes with the chatrooms. And alot of people are having trouble accessing them. Idk - something to do with having certain badges. Tbh - I'm alittle frustrated myself and it seems that there's nothing any of us can do about it. Which is even more frustrating. I'm glad you got your 1-1 abilities back though.
@mytwistedsoul
Im shaking and crying... too scared to ask for a listener..
@sunshinegiraffe123 I'm sorry you're having a rough morning. I'm not a listener and tbh - I don't know any that are able to talk with teens. I mean we can talk here but - I'm not sure how much help I can be right now.
@mytwistedsoul
Its fine ...
most teens see me as harmful... I'd rather talk with you guys.. In a bit..
@sunshinegiraffe123
Hey Im a teen as well, Im happy to help you though my school starts soon
@ThePizza
thanks
I'm worried - what if I'm making all the wrong choices? What if nothing I'm doing is right? Trying to - Idk justify things in mind but what if I'm wrong? If I'm wrong then it's not fair is it? It's mean and it's cruel. Idk - kind of have myself worked up about this. Can't anything be easy? Why is everything so freaking complicated. And I never know what to do. Everything feels wrong. The Queen has been nudging - just fueling everything. Monster monster monster. I am - ya know? I push people away - turn them away - chase them away. I've been trying not to say it - but you should run. Just no good - ya know? Only going to mess all this up anyway. Idk maybe some of us are just meant to be alone -some people are hermits for a reason- reclusive - frankenstein was - yeah? Him and all his parts. Wasn't his choice either - everyone saw him as a monster. Idk maybe I was born with a bad soul. Under a bad sign - on a full moon. In a graveyard with a voodoo doll in one hand and a snake in the other.
I'm having a hard time with patience tonight. Got none - short with everything. Idk - like 2 seconds from freaking out and having a melt down.
Heads too busy - I swear to god I am losing my mind - it feels like it sometimes. Just picture any random crazy guy - hair all wild - can't be still - talking to no one - sort of. How do I stop this? There's always noise in my head. It's distracting - makes it hard to think - hard to concentrate
Started a new thread - a mock feed - total joke. Everything there - Idk - I may as well put here. It's the same anyway basically. Still goes on the latest in the community thing - so it's yeah - the same thing. Nice try J. E for effort. Has a cool name though.
Idk - can you hire people to just make the descie - f**k now I can't spell. Lol - maybe I do need a life coach. Because I don't think I'm doing it right.
@mytwistedsoul
Sitting with you.
@ThePizza Hey Mere - Why does it always feel like everything we do is the wrong thing? Sorry - I shouldn't ask questions like that.
It tiring never knowing - if you're doing things right
@mytwistedsoul
an honest answer: i don't know... i wish i did
could it be the self doubt we all carry in? mine and yours seems to be stronger than that of others
unbearable even
does it help to know you're not the only one who feels this way?
i wish i knew if i was doing things right
i also wish i had a better answer to your question but this is all i have at the moment
@ThePizza It does alittle - but Idk - I shouldn't have asked you that. Idk maybe it gets easier to figure out - eventually
@mytwistedsoul
Time supposedly helps-- that's what they all say. And maybe in this case it will. Maybe in time we'll learn.
Don't worry about it-- I really don't mind those sorts of questions-- easier said than done I know but truly, it's good
So it's ok to not be ok. Your feelings matter and you can feel whatever you feel. None of it is wrong. I call bullsh*t.
People walk away - I know that. Sometimes they need to - either for their own sake or for yours. But then they come back and you're supposed to feel comfortable opening up to them? Again - I call bullsh*t.
Idk - I've been pretty messed up lately. I've been pretty depressed with a few rounds of anxiety. Depression so bad that - well I'm ashamed to admit but - I need a shower. Knowing I need it doesn't seem to motivate me enough to actually do it. Idk - everything seems - pointless. I don't eat - I don't sleep - not much - not what I should.
Headaches are a daily thing here. And body pains - what the mind doesn't - can't or won't remember. The body does.
* I'm not here to lie about the pain - I'm here to make you feel it*
I'm having a hard time focusing and concentrating on anything. Idk - I feel miserable. Apparently - my misery doesn't like company. So things get kept inside - locked away. Out of sight - out of mind.
I have a fear of being touched. Probably not a real big surprise. It's alittle better - I used to freak out over virtual hugs here and I've gotten over those. Idk - why I am saying anything? Just things popping into my head.
Idk - I just don't really like myself much lately. I kind of think isolation is becoming a problem.
It's hard to explain - I can't make you understand - I am one of the lost - one of the damned.
Idk - somethings are kept behind dark doors for a reason. Idk if it's right to show people what hides behind those doors.
Idk - I think Idk too much
Welcome to the pit of misery - your mission should you choose to accept it - is to dig yourself out of this hole. Why - you ask? I have no idea. Maybe because it isn't just about you J.
I'm tired - god I am just so freaking tired. Not just physically - mentally or even emotionally. Let's go with universally. I am universally tired. Not even sure if that's possible. You would think that the answer for being so tired would be sleep. Ha ha silly rabbit - how wrong you are. We don't sleep much here. Most night's it's 2 or 3 hours. In march there was 5 hours one night.
I'm fighting - ya know? Fighting this whole damn thing. It's tiring and frustrating. At times it feels pointless - Survey says - it doesn't matter. In the end - it doesn't - it is what it is and that's all that it is. It's all it will ever be - forever and a day. So on and so forth. Til death do we part. Amen - praise the peas and pass the toast
I think maybe I'm running low on words or energy. Idk - doesn't matter - Onward shall we? Who said that recently? Glen? I call BS. Idk - they say they care but it seems fake. I'd sell a piece of my soul to have my d**m feed back.
@mytwistedsoul
I wish I had a magic wand. I would give you your feeds back and a ten hour sleep night full of beautiful dreams <3
Have you talked to your doctor about your lack of sleep? Perhaps he may give you something...
@admaiorasemper Thank you V - I wish for that magic wand too - or some magic words.
Sleeping pills - actually make the anxiety worse and while there are other ones to try - he'd like me to be commited in order to do them. And Idk - Been there before - being locked up in a place - being told when I can go out - what I can do and when I can do it. Worrying -
There needs to be better communication and some respect for night time. It's like trying to sleep in a crowded room - too much talking
@mytwistedsoul
I have also been refused sleeping pills for the same reason and I think it is... for a good reason. I get that you wouldn't want to be committed.
But there are safer options that do work :)
@mytwistedsoul
💓 i wish it was easier message me if you want to
@jennysunrise8 Thank you - one day I may actually take you up on the offer. I hope you know it's nothing personal. I've had some bad luck with listeners here - that have made it really hard to reach out that way.
@mytwistedsoul
i understand just letting you and also everyone else know they can if they want to message me to talk about anything some might be more interested and less worried about that - i hope your starting to feel a little more settled and used to not having the feed that still doesnt have this replacement that they keep talking about for some unexplained inexplicable reason with no timeframe on that either which knowing the details of what and when that will happen would bring some level of comfort to people ... yet nothing 😦 people do feel better knowing details about things knowing what to expect theres so much kept secret here from people and it doesnt help settle any minds continuing with all this secrecy people interpret that in different ways and its just generally frustrating and shows disrespect to the users of the website not sharing details on plans its so vague ... but i hope your not feeling as bad as you were 💕
@mytwistedsoul
hey just poppin in
Hi J., I was just wondering how you are feeling today...
Words have a weight to them dont they? The edges can be sharp and piercing. But they can also be comforting and soothing. It depends on their intent and purposes. It depends on their delivery. You can cut someone down with them or raise them up. They can be used to make beautiful songs, soothe children, comfort the sick and troubled. They can be used to cause pain and injure people.
We all have moments when were so angry and feel so deeply wronged and wounded that we use our words to lash out and pass our hurts onto others. Sometimes were aware that were doing this but were so deeply immersed in our pain that we do not stop before we speak. We do not take that much needed pause.
Words can be forgiven but they arent forgotten. We remember words spoken in kindness, as well as words that have cut and scarred us. Theres a reason someone once said to think before you speak. Because once those words have rolled off your tongue and left your mouth, you cant take them back. Yes the rift between people can be bridged but those words will always remain. A constant reminder to both parties of the damage that has been done. Taste your words before you spit them out.
Use your words wisely. Voice your anger, your fears. Speak of your injustices, your pain. But please dont use them just to hurt someone. Everytime you take a breath to speak, think of their effect once they reach another persons ears. Think how you would feel if someone used those words toward you. Sometimes its better to remain silent and keep your cool. Sometimes your silence gives you the upper hand and people will respect you more for it.
@mytwistedsoul
so true i think sometimes when people write and get used to writing their thoughts out and how theyre feeling and if it becomes the main way they express how theyre feeling that can happen but a person should never speak or write to others when theyre angry i absolutely agree with that even if its polite or you think its polite if your feeling anger it will show in your writing always so pay attention to your feelings and take a break when your feeling angry/hurt
also theres this thread for anyone as long as you can keep from targeting anyone and just vent how your feeling https://www.7cups.com/forum/GeneralSupport_28/ManagingEmotions_1601/GETYOURANGEROUTSCREAMATTHISTHREAD_45702/ or message me lol i dont mind any angry venters 

@mytwistedsoul I totally agree with this. Imagine if people read your mind though and had access to thoughts you couldn't really control and would never want to say to their face but reflected how you felt or what you needed to say to yourself -- then judged you on them and reacted accordingly? That would be a nightmare.
@dworth257 I've had bad experiences thinking about this. Because it puts you in a position where you have to hurt people, thus continuing the image
@dworth257 even worse would be an inability to heal in private, making the anger and pain inescapable, like a cycle
I have people who tell me it's ok - to talk about my feelings - to talk about what's in my head. But then other people make suggestions to write things in private. Other people say not to be responsible for other people's feelings. But what if what you want to say will hurt them? What if you have a listener who contacts you just for their own conversations. They say they'll listen to you but they make it all about them? My boundaries suck - I can ignore them *people* but then I feel bad. What if they contacted you first - because they were lonely? What if there were people here that you had started to trust - people who reached out to you when you first came but then just stopped talking to you. But then they return - doing check in's that you don't do because you don't trust them. You don't want to hear the bullsh*t that they'll say - about how good it is to hear from you.
What if you feel inconsequential - an after thought.
I can't explain the Red Queen. Well I can but - would you understand? The evidence I've been given disagree's with her's. She is right - we deserve to be alone. We have ceased to matter. This place has kind of cemented that. She can be so - smooth - so soothing at times. * oh J - dear sweet ignorant J. You know - you know I'm right. I've been right all along. We don't need anyone. *
What if you know someone feels bad for an oversight on their part? What if it's ok but sort of not? What if you understand but yet it's brought out a protector that you're having a hard time getting to back off? What if with all this you don't know what to do - you feel you have no options other then to isolate? What if you feel like a bad person for all of it. For feeling the way you do - for thinking the things you do. But yet your reaction is causing someone else pain. That it's your fault. Maybe if you weren't the way you are - maybe if you weren't so f**ked up in your head. I'm sorry -
No replies - please
