hi there...I was thinking about you. It has been soo long; please update soon! xoxo
from miedema2002 :
Hi, hope everything is alright... Lots of happy thoughts and wishes coming your way!
from blueeyesblue :
Yeah, it's been a f'ing while. I thought about you a lot, lot, lot. I didn't know what else to do, since I'm not religious enough to pray. And yes, I have a baby now; her name is Marley and she is the best thing that ever happened to me. Username: Snooping. Password: Mother. Guess that says a lot too. I have missed you SOOOOOOOmuch....
from miedema2002 :
Hi, you haven't updated in forever. Are you alright?
from caged-freed :
Hey, this is just a note to let you know that I'm trying to resurrect C.A.G.E.D. - and I really hope you'll contribute. Check out the updated info, and take care!
from sadhaven :
Hello, I just wanted to let you know about this new public diary called "sadhaven." It is for people who suffer from mental illness and/or addictions to vent and express themselves. If you would like to know more take a look around. Thank you.
from miedema2002 :
Sounds like we are both working on coming to terms with our pasts and moving on. Even though they are different it is still difficult all the same. I can relate.
from miedema2002 :
Hi, can I have the username and password so I can read your diary? Thanks.
from miedema2002 :
Thanks for the reference. That book sounds interesting. I'll look for it. ttyl
from sadlypoetic :
I love you girl. You ARE a survivor, I've seen you do it time and time again. This is Megan by the way (ex-estratto).
from soxconfused :
You aren't getting away this easily! PLEASE please please please let me know you're at least alive. I'm going to keep posting on here until you stop me muahahaha. Please? I'm gonna email you again too..
from sun-down :
Hey, I'm just dropping you a note b/c you haven't updated in awhile. I hope everything is okay and I'll talk to you soon XOXO
from soxconfused :
Hey it's Meg. What's going on girl, are you okay? Email me and let me know what's going on please, I'm getting worried about you! xoxo
from sysiphus :
Hey there... I used to read your diary aaaaages ago, when I used to update my own. Now after a huge break I'm gonna get it going again, but I miss reading yours - I have so much to catch up on! please may I have your p-word? Hope you're well xx
from estratto :
I would go to the principal, tell her that you will NOT do this. That sounds horrible. Plus, she can't even tell you to your face! I would certainly let it be known that I am NOT doing this. Plus, there are a lot of other schools, you don't Have to be in this one. Make sure you tell her that too. Good luck.
from kitten-12 :
can i have your un/password please? you sound really interesting.
from estratto :
Hey sorry i don't have time to email you this (gotta go to work in 2 min!). What uni did you go to in Texas? Did you like it? What are some pros and cons? Short story: I'm moving in December/January! Email me back when you get a chance, and I'll give you the full story. Thanks babe xoxo
from pigger18 :
hey I called you friday or saturday night and left a message on your voicemail and then I called yesterday, like afternoon/evening and got the voicemail again.. I just wanted to let you know that Im not flaking out and I did call you, I'll call agian this week, later... ♥
from pigger18 :

Yeah this week coming up is the end of the 1st summer seesion so I will be at my parents from thurs to sun, but the next week summer 2 starts and its back to being there the whole week. Okay yeah I'll give ya a call, later. oh thanks for the compliment, I really appreciate it...
from small-one :

from art-esque41 :
hi. could i get your password possibly? I'm kinda interested, you seem cool. thx.
from pigger18 :
OMG I know, I'm still trying to figure it out. I dunno I sat down and just starting writing and it all just came out, it was weird. I just hope that its good enough. ttyl ♥ xoxo
from pigger18 :
I cant seem to find your number, I know I wrote it down somewhere but I have no clue as to where it is, so if you dont mind giving it to me again or I could just give you mine, either or.. Oh yeah I was psyched to hear that you started working out (again), usually working out elevates your moods, well it does for me when I'm a bit down, but congrats and keep it up. Oh yeah you can email it to me or vice versa (email you my number). As far as school, I have one class and I'm outta there by 9:50am, after that I work out until 12 and well for the rest of the day, I'm totally free, pathetic I know, but yeah I'm not doing much of anything, so I'm free when ever you are to hangout, later.. ♥
from pigger18 :
Hey, I'll be back in houston this week because summer session starts on the 6th, so if you have time and want to hangout, just let me know.. ♥ later....
from pigger18 :
ThaT sounds awesome, I am looking forward to finally maybe having some fun.
from estratto :
Obviously this month has been hell for the both of us. When does your school get out? Do you have any plans for the summer? I'd love to come out for the weekend or maybe even a week. It sounds like we both need a break from reality, so maybe you could come up here too? We'll figure this thing out, I promise!
from somewhat-ok :
Hello! Can I have your password? Thanks :)
from dimstar :
hi sweetie. the password is falling . The name is dimstar. Take care ok. xoxo.
from floaty-ana :
hey...i've moved to roxiekitten see you soon.... zoe
from estratto :
How about sometime in the next month I come and see you? I seriously need out of this state, and it sounds like you could use some company. And I come with one added bonus: when you give me a Smirnoff I LOVE to clean ;) Sound like a plan?
from sun-down :
Give me that Russian psychiatrist lady's number; I want to have her deported for you. Let me tell you, though, I myself can sit here and list pretty much every single time in my life when someone said something to make me feel like shit (and trust me, that's a lot of times). I dwell on things and replay them in my head forever. I don't blame you for still thinking about her. But I just reread what that lady said to you, and you do not freakin belong in a mental hospital. You are not a risk to your students, you're an awesome teacher who makes them actually enjoy being in school. And if I had a Dr. E in my life, I'd make it a point to drive back once a month and see her too. One more thing...in all the time I've been reading your diary, it has never crossed my mind even for a second that you need to be locked up.
from estratto :
If you guys are on spring break this week I will so come down. I think the only time I could come would be Monday night and Tuesday. I wish I could get off work this weekend, but as you know, restaurants suck ass. What city are you in exactly?
from fishnets666 :
Hey! You didn't leave me your email and your diary is locked lol. Give me your email addy and I'll send you where my diary is :)
from onecutabove :
I've been reading your diary for a long time and I tried to read your new entry today, the 20th, and your password wouldn't work. Did you change it again? If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to keep reading, and if you did change it, I was wondering if I could have the new pw?
from estratto :
Damn, another note! I just now got my g-book signing about the pictures. My gbook keeps messing up and not sending me notices. But, I can't get on where my pictures are because they are on my other compuer. Hopefully it will be fixed within the week, and I will send the link to you. I am sorry!
from estratto :
wow, I seem like a compulsive note-leaver. Since my computer died, I don't have your un/pw for your diary. Mind sending it to me? My temporary email is [email protected]. Thanks doll.
from estratto :
happy birthday!!!
from estratto :
Whatever you do, don't lie to Dr E! You have to be completely honest and open with her if you want to get anything accomplished with her Wednesday. If not, they you are wasting your money by going. Trust me, I lied to mine for 10 months. Please take care of yourself.
from lost-smile :
I've missed you! I thought something bad might of happend! But I'm glad you're okay and that you're back!!
from slipofagirl :
You haven't updated in a while, and I'm worried about you. You still out there?
from soxconfused :
Just a note after the email..you said that you didn't want them to think you quit early. Then what the heck IS suicide? Quitting early, copping out of life, that's what it is. I'm expecting a reply to the email or i will drive the 6 hours down there and find you!
from slipofagirl :
Oh sweetie...what's wrong? E-mail me if you want to talk... {{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}
from rainbowsix :
I'm super happy for you!!! :D Don't worry - it will come soon enough...enjoy the summer!! :)
from zerodoll :
i have most likely asked before but may i have your u/password. you can email it to [email protected] if you like. xo, sharla
from laura-diane :
thank you for adding me to your list. i wouldn't mind having your password, if that's okay!
from lost-smile :
Yes, you can beat this. You are strong enough and I'm sure there are plenty people out there to help you through this. I'm sure it'll be hard but you can do it! Just have faith in yourself. *hugs*
from phaiding :
darl, you are definitely strong enough to beat your ED. we're all here to support you, not to laugh at you. i've been reading your diary and cheering you on when i read about your success as a teacher and how much you've helped your students. you've really inspired me, as i'm also thinking of becoming a teacher. if you're strong enough to turn around those kids lives, you're definitely strong enough to turn around your own =). vanessa.
from amber-darko :
Hi! My name's Amber and I'm 23. I am writing a book about my personal account of self hate and self harm. I'd like to include some personal stories from different stages in healing, different sexes and different ages to show that no one is the same, but we all are hurting in ways that we are unable to convey. I do not intend on printing names, there is no length restriction and I will not censor. I have decided to also include poetry or just general opinions. Please email me if you are interested. [email protected]
from tenchi1986 :
hey i was scanning diaries in houston and i came across urs, can i plz read it u seem like sum1 who could take my mind off my life... [email protected] just label it in big letters JAMES UR AN IDIOT lol so i dont delete it by accident thanx
from rhondarubard :
A size 2?!?!?!? Yikes! If you want an ego boost, go check out my before pic on my site. I'm training for the San Diego marathon and I'm seeing how much I can drop while doing so. Again, a size 2?!?!?!?!?!
from miagoddess :
hey...i was hoping i could get your username and password, since i haven't been able to read your diary in awhile and i'd like to...it's okay if you don't want me to though. hope things are going well.
from sweetxtears :
<3 everyone has those days sweetie, i have many of them and even tho i know how it feels i really believe your in the planet for a reason you just got to work to find out why and it'll be ok i dont mean you'll wake up and your ed will be gone but if you truely want it and i mean really want it then take the nesscessary steps to get there and one day it'll all be ok and you'll see what a wonderful person you really are, as soon as you can wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and say to you self that "i am beautiful" then your not that far away from recovery <3<3 best of luck kaylin
from hatesecms :
BTW, i don't know but it does sound like u are the type of teacher ppl enjoy going to that class because of. good luck.
from hatesecms :
hey, i read ur "teaching ramblings" or whatever and about that kid in ur class who won't try...r u open to suggestions? well, i don't know if this kid has a lot of friends but can u think of anyone he seems to admire in the class? does he seem depressed? i dunno, maybe he doesn't think anyone cares about his work or something. around the age ur teaching sometimes "dark" stuff does come into people's minds. i don't know if maybe that helped at all (or the student), but i hope i did. bye...
from sweetxtears :
hey hey i was reading your entry, i'm a little confused lol are you a teacher? j/w <3<3kaylin
from onecutabove :
The username is ilove and the password is tf. Oddly enough, I found out my parents were reading it as well. Actually it was my dad and my step mom. They went as far as to sign up here in order to read it, and they were going to print it out and use it in court to get me to move in with them so they could "help me out" with it.... Yeah, so I had no choice in the matter. I was pretty perturbed that i had to lock it, I always loved finding that connection with people and it's harder to find when not everyone has access to it. But I hope you like it, and thanks for the password.
from sweetxtears :
aww thanks, that totally sucks that your parents found it! my bestfriend did and well she acts different around me! but thanks for letting me read it, you can read mine lol its not that interesting tho! <3<3kaylin
from onecutabove :
Could I have the password love?
from sweetxtears :
hey i was wondering if i may read your diary? i understand if you would rather me not tho:) <3<3kaylin
from soultonic :
Hi Patsy, What you said about Dr. E and having a hard time the days after you see her really struck a chord with me. At one point, I felt like all I lived for was therapy. It was the one thing in my week that I looked forward to, and I wished I could go like 3x a week. Maybe b/c it was the one thing holding me together, and I felt like the one person who really cared was my therapist. Whenever holidays came around and I saw less of her it was a trauma. I guess I'm just writing to say I understand how you feel. And Dr. E sounds great, and I'm glad you're working w/her. Take care.
from ladytesa :
just because... we all need a little hug and a smile sometimes.. so here.. *hugs*
from lost-smile :
Hey, I was just wondering if I could have your username and password? Thanks so much!
from crazystar01 :
wow...as a fellow future teacher myself, I can't tell u how much u'r story about Oshawn touched me. Sometimes I wonder too if I'm doing the right thing by being in this field, but after having things like that happen myself and reading about them happening to people like u, it becomes so clear as to why we need to be doing this. Keep fighting hun, u've obviously got what it takes to touch the lives of so many people.
from rainbowsix :
*sigh*...i had the exact same type of day...keep your chin up - i'm thinking about you :)
from xanasforcex :
Hey!!! I've been away from the comp for quite awhile, but I'm back again , look forward to reading your diary again , hope everythings been alright with you ...... and don't worry about that guy you've been seeing. He'll understand if he's actually a good guy. Take your time. Good luck!.... kita
from soultonic :

from gaunt :
Heyhey, I was wondering if I could have the username/password
from poemsbyme :

from madeinfrance :
Hi Patsy! I just wanted to say hi. I am glad you get to do what you love. Teaching, helping other people learn is such an amazing feeling. I would never have the patience to be a teacher but you seem to have the understanding and compassion that makes the sort of teachers you remember when you are an adult. Much love hun. xoxox
from skinnyboney :
hi sweetie, i'm sorry for the thing with your parents. but i don't think that they'd ever find out what the password is - so you are 99 % safe. you never get 100 % in life. anyways, i'll (of course) continue reading your diary, i already locked in your password =) so please take care but don't leave...{{hugs}} sin
from pigger18 :
Yeah it totally sucks that there are no tall cute guys in Houston, I seriously need to move, and the sad part is that I'm really not all that tall, taller than average yes considering that average is like 5'3" or so, but I'm only 5'8" come on there should be some guys out there that are taller than me, oh well... Oh yeah I heard that too, about Houston being the second fattest city, well thats better than being number one, like it has been for the past two years... Well it's a good thing I don't live in Houston, hehe, I live outside city limits closer to galveston, woo hoo lucky me ugh??
from fatnomore :

from hiddenbeyond :

from blondiegrl24 :

from tear-fucked :

from rainbowsix :
Thanks for the heads-up about mono. I'm going to go get tested for that tomorrow...or at least tell the doctor I'm worried I have it. Hopefully he'll figure this out! Thanks. :)
from poemsbyme :

from rainbowsix :
Hi :) Thanks for the note. They come from my head...self-therapy, I guess? It's weird though...it doesn't feel like I'm talking to myself :P...I guess just because the ED is kind of another part of me...I don't know...but there's your answer :)
from brook7 :
one more q 4 you, if you're working out for an hr. a day, and then only eat a can of green beans, how do u have energy? Do u not work out when u eat less..?
from madeinfrance :
Dont worry! I am not planning on leaving anytime soon, too scared your gonna kick my ass! hehe ;) Back to reading your awesome diary!
from brook7 :
p.s. what's ur aol screen name? i'm "shnoogle" (don't ask, its from 5th grade...)
from brook7 :
hey, appreciate sooo much that you left me a note, its so nice to hear from someone who i know is going through their own shit. Im def. down with getting a set routine. I usually go to the gym for 1-1.5 hrs. every day, but sometimes i wonder if i cut back a little on the gym, and cut back with food if i might be lighteer...who knows...also, curious, i am a pretty big partier, love the temporary escape from self...what do you do about cals from alchy? i pretty much stick to vodka T's and revv up on "study drugs/other..." i feel like i am plateauing, which only makes me nervous that i may gain...ive def. been cutting back on intake, but my body is confused and fighting against me. SO annoying. going out tonight....sort of drunk off one drink, hah. thats what happens when ur body is empty. write me baccck!
from brook7 :
Hey, new here. Sounds like we have much in common. Im a junior at a college in upstate NY...20yrs old, struggling with my weight, bigtime...recently went on medication for depression, seems to be working ok...but Ive never been so concerned with my weight. It makes no sense because ive pretty much remained at a stable weight for a while, and now i am skinnier, but its not enough. I'd love to be able to talk to you about meds, and everything...

from xanasforcex :
Hey ... its a good thing your reading up on bipolar cause it's always recommended that people learn everything they can about thier illness to understand it better.... and the more you read, the more your will realize also how common bipolar is... I believe I am .. I never got evaluated further on it, but I still went to look up everything about it, and feel somewhat better afterwards..... ... .... neways... take care of yourself... ((((hugz))))

from xanasforcex :

from newbody :
Hey... sounds like you could be bypolar... by the way you said how your depressed one minute then bouncing off the walls the next.... that IS something that you MUST be on meds for!! nothing can fix the balance but meds... I just started up again , and I think you should really concider taking some... ya your doc is right saying that meds wont solve all your problems... but It will lift the depression.... hopefully that's what you'll choose to do .. bypolar does not go away!!! I just want to make sure you stay safe!!! .. :) take care hun.....(((hugz))))

Hello, thanks for joining the cereal diary rong! ~Jesse
from diva23 :
Hey... I just thought I'd let you know how much I connected with what you wrote when you said you feel like your parents are tricking you into being honest with them. I absolutely understand that feeling and quite honestly have never found anyone else who has seemed to get it. You're not alone in your struggles with EDs either - I wish you all the best in getting the treatment you deserve. It's worth the fight so keep on...
from newbody :
((((((((hugz))))) Im sorry about the problems you have with your parents... thats the exact way my mother is! ( I dont see my dad) we never talk about anything, and when you ever does ask( so called nicely)I tell her, then she goes nuts on how its all my fault, I shouldnt do this or that blah blah blah... I know how hard it is, because Ive wanted an understanding parent so badly it hurts.. I can really understand what your going through... and Im glad that your reading those books! Getting to understand your illness(s) is very important!! something I should be doing! *guilty* ... please dont be too hard on yourself...I really hope things get better for you!.... take care!!..../kita
from pigger18 :
I think everyone was telling you to go to a therapist who specialized in ED, because a general psychologist doesn't have all of the knowledge and information to fully help you. General psychologists understand the basics of ED's, like how they are defined in the DSM-TRIV, and the diagnostically criteria. But they lack the insight and understanding that a specialist would have. Think of it in medical terms, if you're a women you go to an ob/gyn for womenly check-ups, if you have need brain surgery you'll go to a neurosurgeon. It's just like that you want to go to the professional that is most qualified to help you. Even though they lack the qualifications they may be able to help you, but the most qualified person would be the specialist. Best answer I can give you is to think of it in medical terms, you want to go to the doctor who is best able to help you..

because you are mia..that's why. I know that sounds like a stupid answer but it's the only concrete one I've come up with!--sylviashadow ps. you should join my prettymia diaryring!

I hope that my answer for the quetsion you asked, difference between psychologist and psychiatrists,made sense. If you have any more question feel free to ask, and I'll hopefully be able to help you out.Take care.. P.S. it is somewhat scientifically proven that repetitive movements (like shaking you leg and other types of figdeting)increase serotonin levels in the brian. I know whenever I start to feel depressed I unconsciously strat to shake my leg, and also whenever I am stressed (like right after a test or writing a huge research paper) the whole time afterward my leg shakes uncontrollably. I don't know if that means anything but I just thought I should tell you, about the shaky leg increases serotonin thing. Well, later.

I think your parents mean well when they advise "a vitamin, an apple, and some exercise." In my experience those of us with depression are chronically malnourished. The body makes neurotransmitters from protein. I try to get at least one large serving every other day. As to exercise I've never seen research that proves it helps with clinical depression only with moderate dep., but it won't hurt either. I wish you the best.

Yea! I just figured out how to turn on my notes! :P Actually, I had never looked or tried. I thought you only had it with a gold membership or something. Oh well, I'm pretty much talking to myself, so I'm going to go. bye!
