I know I posted in TDS recently so I'm not exactly checking in..

2008 was a rough year. It was the year my gma died. Just 6 months before I turned 18. I can't believe it's been so long since she died and I feel like I don't remember her enough. That's why the day of her funeral I got a tattoo in memory of her. She was too special to ever forget.

2008 was also the year I met my ex. Yesterday would have been our 10 months. We were engaged and everything. We had a wild, crazy, passionate love. But we were both too caught up in what we thought was our perfect love to work some issues out, and that is why we ended up splitting. It still hurts. Less than it did but still get pangs like a knife to the gut. Songs, places, smells, foods, things. All remind me of the days we spent together, how close we were. How much we were in love. I don't doubt for a moment that we weren't in love. We were just so much in love that both of us thought that things that would need worked out in our relationship would just work out or fix themselves or be dealt with...but that didn't happen. I sit here crying now thinking of her. I love to see her still and we are good friends. I think i'd lose it if we weren't. Part of me wants to hate her, but part of me is still in love. I have to let go though. Or I will never heal. I've forgiven myself for hurting her emotionally when we broke up, and while we were together. I didn't mean to. I wouldn't have hurt her for the world. But it happens. Life goes on. I'm lucky she has forgiven me. And told me to forgive myself. I'm still caught up in the fact though, that she has seen us 10 years from now, when we were still together, and it was so beautiful. That leaves me to wonder if we will ever be together again. She was my first love. I was her first girl too.


2009 was the year I got sober. Well. For awhile. I occasionally did my rx'd drugs but not to the extent that I was before. I stopped smoking pot for months. Stopped using dxm for months. I respected the fact that my ex didn't want me smoking pot around her 3 year old. But she's gone now and I kinda slipped back into it. Not in a bad way though. Yet. I just smoke, drink, and some pills. I hope I learned my lesson from all the shit that happened and getting mind raped when I was 15-18. I'm taking it slow with drugs now. I'm still prone to freakouts and mental breakdowns, they just thankfully seem to be null so far. That's amazing considering how much stress I've been experiencing in the past month. Alot of it is thanks to my ex. She taught me alot about coping. I'm not taking any psych meds now. It's been about a month. I hope my depression stays away.

Looking back I've grown up alot this year. I'm glad I did. But I still feel like I missed alot of my childhood and teenage years. Its a toss up suitation. I guess I have to balance being grown up and still partying and having fun to make up for what I never did.
 
They say the more you love the more you hurt. I think, by the things I am feeling, the more you love, the more you get angry...or am I just turning crazy? :\
 
Hey Stella! Nice to see you again.

IDK then I'm fucked with that one. People with BPD feel emotions to an extreme level. Everything seems to register as a 10 on the scale. That's kinda how you end up with the Black and White thinking about people. Perhaps thats why I'm all fucked up

I'm here, not in the greatest of shape for sure and not staying out of trouble.
I'm in deeper than I had even been able to admit to myself.
All I can say is, I'm stupid.
 
^ Thank you sweetie. I am trying to gather myself for what I need to, to do the right thing. Sucks to face things that are so hard and painful.

FYI, you are no stupid, you just need to know we all are worth more then we know. Why trash ourselves when we have such mean people all around to have a go at us. Be strong, I am hanging in there. So hang with me that way we are not alone.
 
^ Much love bud. We are all glad that you made it home safe and sound.
Please take some time for yourself, that kind of thing can really shake a person up.
I know you care about people and like to help them, but you gotta help you first.
***HUGS!***
 
rangrz here. I'm doing okay I guess. I just really miss my ex. She was so perfect for me.

alas, war and drugs serve as good distractions.

Oh hey rangrz! I haven't been on BL much lately but remember you saying a few weeks back you were going on active duty. You still in one piece budy? :)

I'm in the same boat, brother (minus all the guns and rockets). PM me if ya ever want to shoot the shit.
 
Checking in. I'm still feeling a bit depressed and socially withdrawn, but I'm coping ok.
 
It can be...just have to keep picking yourself up for it to be that way now and then.
 
Checkin in mates. OH the slithering spiral down, down, in the worst way. Will shit ever be good? To all you who've recovered from your lowest of lows, is life ever GREAT? :\

I don't think my life has ever been great. But I know it can be tolerable, which is usually enough to keep me going. :\
 
Worried about my friend October... didn't get a notice on my myspace that I had new comments and just noticed it today. If you see this, hopefully I'll have enough posts by then for you to message me here. Miss you!
 
I'm here at the moment. I feel like the whole world is just crashing to pieces around me...walking on broken glass...
I'm wanting a way out. I scare myself.
