Peace of Mind Mood
Sunday, November 30, 2008
I guess I'll give you some background first.

My friend and I (technically my ex-boyfriend, but that's much too complicated to explain) are exchanging gifts this year and it's kind of a romantic relationship we share.  Anyway, I asked him what he would like and he said "If you could, I need some peace of mind in like a jar or something..."

Now, I know he's joking, but I thought it would be sweet to decorate a jar with the words 'Peace of Mind' on it and I was looking for words that you think would go well in the jar...

What words come to mind when you think peace of mind?

Thanks in advance for the help!

i'm freaking out.  i don't know what to do...

 

my boyfriend is confusing me so much... on minute it seems like he wants nothing to do with me and then the next he's all lovey dovey and cute and apologetic and stuff and then he goes back to not wanting anything to do with me... 

 

i'm feeling really pulled in all different directions and it's making me want to cut so bad...  but i'm trying really hard to stop...

 

it hurts.

    Don't give in to the sadness. Your boyfriend sounds like a person who is manipulative and controlling. He knows that you will do what he wants. It's a tough place to be. You are young enough that you don't need to be tied down to a relationship. It sounds like he's just using you. I know that a relationship is probably one of the things you want most in your life, but you need to become a person that you like, and the heck with what others think.

    I don't know that I would want to be your age again, I'm almost old enough to be your grandmother. It's not easy. Find something to do when you are feeling so down, journaling, exercising, music, whatever. You do need to vent, or you'll blow. Good luck.

    Sit him down and ask him what he wants. Does he want a stable relationship with you? If so tell him to stop f**king you around. If he doesn't - get out and don't look back. I think I would like to be your age again - but I am old enough to be your dad! Take care and take no crap.

I'm such a fuck-up... I went almost 60 days without cutting and then last night broke down and started again...

 

It makes me feel like recovery is near impossible... like I'm never going to get past this... even after so many days, the urge still exists and sometimes it's impossible to make it go away.

 

I hate myself.
