  • Tips and Tricks : )

    Ideas I got from the ADD site about how to eat and work out:
    1. set minimum workout goal! like less than 15 minutes 2x a week is unacceptable
    2. make food and freeze it for when I cant cook
    3. give self several times in a day to get in the workout
    4. interval training; 30 sec fast 1 minute slow for 20 min!

  • Lost My Way

    I feel like I truly lost my way over the past two months. I let my grades slip for the first time since high school, I fell behind. Its like drowning. Its not like Im flunking or even like Im getting below a 3.5, but still its not gonna be another 4.0 semester, thats for sure. I feel like Im trying desparatly to stifle myself with school, I cant breathe under the pressure of grades and papers and jobs. There are so many creative things I want to pursue and parts of me I want to improve that I just cant find the time to do. I want to write poetry again, journal more often, read volumes about add and depression, maybe even paint or draw agian! Wow I havent drawn in almost a year and a half! That is crazy! I have never gone more than probably a month max since I could pick up a crayon. I feel hollow creativly... I feel almost like a part of me is starving to death, slowly and quietly in a neglected corner of my life/heart/soul/mind/whatever. I need to write, but i feel like that capacity is a bath tub with cold water, it will take so long to let the tap heat up that it makes me anxious. Do I have time to allow for that? No.

    What can I even write about?

    Am I smart enough? How did I lose faith in my intellegence? I want to save the world, I'll never save them without killing myself. I want to grow down, I want time to stand still, Will I ever stop moving? Will my mind ever sit still? Will I ever learn to be normal? How did I fall away from my childhood? Would she (lil me) be disapointed? Sunday's are too short, Im so tired

    I could write about all of those topics. And it literally took under a minute to list them off. I'm deffinetly suffocating. At least my relationship has become the solid part of my life that I needed it to be. No more fighting, no more crying, no more wondering. Thats the only good change I can think of.

    The Undone To Do List

    The cycle in itself,

    Defeats me,

    Before I even stand,

    It eats me.

    The pills are meant to slow it down,

    but its funny,

    how that turns around,

    I simply come,

    to realize,

    That Im farther behind

    than Id compermized.

    I watch in shock as it charges closer,

    And turn my head,

    as it runs me over.

    The beat of my pulse drowns out my thoughts,

    But the lock in my jaw, soon reminds me,

    Im lost.

    The sound of my heart beat is in my ears,

    pounding underneith my ribs,

    As i remember all thats on my list,

    of things i said id do today,

    and Things i said id do before,

    last week,

    last month,

    Still on The door,

    where i keep and break my promises,

    to myself,

    to my GPA,

    to all the things I never gave,

    a shit about,

    until today.  

    Until the moment I decided,

    that my sanity was undecided,

    And in the moment after that,

    When it slid to the burner,

    in the back.

    Where I never get to go,

    Becuase Im late,

    Because Im slow,

    Becuase Im never on time,

    I know.

    Its something Ill put on my list,

    Something to which,

    I will never get.

  • I want to do it myself

    Why cant I do it myself? I feel like I to be happy and tolerable I have to beat a part of my own mind into submission. I wish I didnt have to take these pills or apologize all the time, im sick of fighting so hard to be normal. Its not fair! I shouldnt have to deal with all this shit, why me? Why did I have to get stuck with these problems? The stat is 21% in women. 1 in five. I would give anything to be one of the other 4. I have a huge head ache from all this crying. The fucked up part? I need to take 3 more focalin or I wont be able to focus on my work. I need to eat before i take them, but im not hungry because of the morning dose. So if I take them Ill get sick and have a migrane...

  • Something Else

    Something Else

     

    No one knows me,

    No one sees me,

    Behind the affliction that seems to be me.

    It’s something else,

    It lives in here,

    It only sleeps,

    There is no cure.

    I hate it enough to want it dead,

    So it must be something inside my head,

    Otherwise,

    If it was me,

    I could kill myself,

    But I can see,

    It’s something else,

    It isn’t me.

    It speaks for me,

    It thinks for me,

    It makes me feel,

    Damn near everything.

    How do I explain that I don’t belong,

    When I look at my life,

    And nothing’s wrong?

    Because even perfection,

    Would need something else,

    To win my affection,

    I couldn’t be myself.

    You don’t know me,

    You can’t see me,

    Behind the symptoms that seem to be me.

  • The Me That They Cant See

    I always wondered exactly what it was that keeps me indefinetly alone, even when my life is seemingly perfect at the time. Even when my relationship is wonderful, my grades are great, and Im in great shape.. I still cry. I never understood what it is that prevents me from feeling like Im not alone, but I think im finding it.

    I started writing when I was bored in my abnormal psych lecture; inspired by the lecture I decided to write about having depression and adhd. And eventually things I've always lived with started turning into written words for the first time and my stomach started tying itself in knots and my eyes started to water. So I stopped writing; it was terrifying not only because I was on the brink of sobbing during a lecture but because I had never actually thought about any of it. Once I got to my car I sat there and continued where I left off, only I talked out loud instead of writing it. After a few minutes talking almost like there was an invisible shrink in the passengers seat I couldnt breathe anymore. I collapsed onto my steering wheel and cried until I had the hiccups. Until now I havent let myself go back there (mentally that is; I do still use that parking lot). So Im kind of anxious to write this, but I have tissues on call just in case.

    I am not adhd. I am not depression. I have adhd. I have depression. Why am I the only one who knows the difference? I hate adhd. I hate depression. Justin and I have been together for 3 1/2 years, he knows me better than anyone and he still doesnt know who I am. He says "you are so much like your mom" sometimes and thats how I know. Not that Im not like my mother in certain ways, but the things he says it about arent my mom either. They're symptoms. She has depression and adhd too, its genetic. It makes me so... frustrated.. to hear people say that. If people said "your -creative, funny, unique, generous, strong, fearless- like your mother" I would be elated. But thats not what they say. Its more like - emotional, explosive, irrational, impulsive, confusing, dramatic, fragile, irratic, irritable, fidgety, forgetful, stubborn, sensitive, annoying, stick-your-foot-in-your-mouth, strange, awkward. And then others they probably wont say, in fear of the previous list of reactions. Those are all symptoms of the two disorders I have; they are not my personality traits; that is not who I am. I know who I am.  And Im the one.

    I wish more people would say that I remind them of my Dad. (And of course my mother for her actual presonality traits). I wish people would notice any of the things that they always overlook about me. If I were to describe myself to people who are close to me they would probably not agree or beleive me.

    I am always fighting to maintain conrtol of myself. Reacting to things that happen is the most difficult. Last year is a perfect example. I pushed my relationship to the absolute limit over things that shouldnt have even made me mad. If I had been hoping to see him the next day and he told me that day he wanted to go to a friends I lost it, I felt rejected, ignored, vulnerable, and eventually I would go off on him. Unfortunatly I didnt know I was already mid-tail spin of a relapse and neither did he. Until last year I hadt had a full blown relapse, just rough spots here and there. Unfortunatly now Im terrified that he will always see me that way, I dont know if Ill ever be able to convince him that that is not who I really am. Even now when he tells me things that would have set me off before he expects me to freak out. He always looks so shocked when I say "O sure babe, tell ___ I said Hi" instead of cussing him out and accusing him of going to a strip club or something.

    I cant even get to class in the morning until I take my pills; I just cant seem to get motivated. Not like I say hm Im gonna go shopping instead, I wouldnt be able to do that either. I feel so overwhelmed by life that I cant get out of bed, I feel like Im going to cry sometimes just thinking about how much I need to do. I get so behind that I really do hate myself, Im not and have never been self mutilating or a suicide risk, but Ive definetly been able to see thier point before. I dont know why Ive never cut myself before actually.. Ive deffinetly hated myself enough to do it and Ive been to the point that i didnt want to wake up in the morning plenty of times.. but Ive still never actually wanted to die.

    I guess Im more of a sleeper, I love sleeping, its the relief I think suicidals can only get from dying. When I start to choke up and I feel too much pain, I cant take it anymore.. I feel the uncontrollable urge to collapse and sleep. But the problem with sleep is that I actually have to wake up at some point too. When I was a kid I hated my life so much that I barely slept at all at night, as soon as I fell asleep Id wake up and it would be day time agian. So I would stay up all night writing in a journal, writing poetry, drawing, or reading book after book until I passed out on the pages. Then I would sleep any part of the day away that I could just waiting for it to end, so i could do my thing at night and pretend I didnt have a life to worry about. Now I have enough happiness in my life that I can usually manage the day, but when I cant take it I just want to sleep my life away. I always have this wish that this time the problems I fell alseep to escape wont be there when I wake up. How retarded is that? Its actually kind of funny isnt it? I seem to be an optimist after all. I think if I wasnt so damn delusionally optimistic that way Id be suicidal........ Weeeelllll,,, nah I dont have the balls.

  • What causes people to cheat on their significant others?

    When we're born we survive because we're selfish: driven by emotional and physical needs. We scream and cry until those needs are met without regard to anyone else. When we're adults in relationships we are suppose to be mature enough to put the other persons needs infront of our own; some people arent mature enough to do that. 

    Whether they are purely selfish or they have more complex circumstances on top of that it all comes down to immaturity. Men and women do tend to cheat for different reasons though. Women tend to search for a missing emotional connection while men tend to stray in search of the physical. But it can go either way.

       

    I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

  • Looking Back

    Looking back at myself when I came here, there are so many things I wish I could go tell myself. Like what not to buy at Krogers because they sold it at chillys, not to slack off with my art projects and journals even though i hated it, I wish I could go back and be more social and involved. I wish we would have taken our beds down like I wanted to in the first place a looong time ago and sold my damn books back! Thats pissing me off right now actually. I also regret still not getting over my pack rat problem, which Im not going to do mext year, and I should have gone to the disabilities services the day i got here. I should have worked harder on our relationship and I would go back and tell myself what we were doing wrong. We would have been so much happier if I was more generous and more confident. Yanna and I wound up becoming great friends and I would never have guessed when we first moved in, but she is not the stuffy person i thought.

    Apatía Americana

    Nací en Los Estados Presumidos,

    Y he visto el desmentido,

    Que no hay desigualdad todavía,

    Pero he oído el racismo.

    Si escuchas a las voces jovenes,

    Oirás sombras de las  vistas viejas,

    Perspectivas que juran desaparecer.

    Hay problemas y pobreza que nadie quiere creer,

    Pero existe todavía,

    Y van a seguir apareciendo,

    Y segiurán a evitarlos.

    Hoy en día,

    Yo veo lo mismo, 

    En todas partes del país,

    La misma tienda en cada esquina,

    Los mismos ideas en cada chica.

    No me gusta lo que veo,

    Cuando pienso de la gente,

    Espero que presten atención a otra cosa más importante que a ellos mismos.

  • Ignorance Is Bliss

    I always ignore things that bother me. Like the paper that I havent finished yet... that is due tomorrow at 12 30. But more on that later. So Justins plane took off around 2 and now he is in Georgia for the rest of the weekend, . But really its a good thing.. this way he gets more "space" and so do I, maybe I can get some real studying done for once. Yanna is going home this week end too, so I wont have any unavoidable distractions at all. On the other hand I did invite cheryl out here on saturday, but you never kno with cher so maybe I will have the whole weekend to myself after all. I dont know.. I cant believe that there are just a few weekends left! I have been forgeting to count.. on prupose, but it cant be more than 3 or 4, wow. Yea 4 including this weekend. That means that me and him only have 2 weekends left that we mite have this room to ourselves, next week is sibs n kids. O my god.. how am I going to do well on all my finals? See thats what I meant with the ignoring thing.. Shit! Ugh I am going to go crazy like this.

    He Really Is My Everything

    Last night was incredible! I came back from lunch with my mom around 7 and we texted eachother a little, he had been hanging out with his friends all day. One text was so sweet, it saud that he was going to spend all day sunday with me. So I decided to do a little work since he was doing his own thing. Eventually he said he was just really tired and would probably just stay home for the night, so when he called me and I found out he and Jamal were going to a party I was sort of hurt. Not that I was mad, but I just felt like with all of the progress we just made he was still taking my feelings for granted. There was a lot of noise and I was pretty down so I told him to call me later, but he said no wait hold on... and then there was a knock at the door!

    I havent been that happy in a veeeery long time!  It was amazing... the past two days have made me feel like Im dreaming, its incredible. We didnt really do anything out of the ordinary until he was just about to leave, I felt like I let that perfect surprise go to waste so I did what I should have done when he got here. We had this amazing kiss and clothes went flying, one thing led to another and we ended up having sex three times and then some.. At some point he looked at me in a way I will never forget, I cant even describe it except to say that I would do anything to see it again. I feel like I havent seen that passion in us for so long, I dont want to let that go ever again. Damn... I cant stop tearing up! lol Its getting on my nerves cuz I dont want to smudge my makeup. He'll be here soon, Im so excited! I even made a playlist of all the songs that remind me of him, but not in a sexual way for once, these songs are mostly from way back. Like Everything, Suga Suga, Stay, Baby I Love You.. stuff from the begining.
