Like i need to get everything off my chest. I dont talk about a lot of things with sam, even though i love him to bits, just because i love him to bits and i dont want to worry him with how i feel. I dont talk to the people at work because i get mothered a bit and i dont think they’d take me seriously. I basically feel like i cant tell anyone face to face and convey how absolutely dire i feel at times.
I suppose this week is what i would call a “mediocore” week, and in my terms that means that my “ocd” or whatever it is that i have isnt as bad as it can be. Im studying psychology and i dont even know what i am… shocking. and ironic. Basically my fear of green food is still here, and i think it always will be (there is the odd exception) its a really complicated feeling that i cant get accross to anyone, everyone knows i wont eat green foods but i think people think its made up or just a bit silly.. and i can totally see why, i mean who heard of a phobia of green food? But i guess they dont undestand why or how it feels. I cant even imagine eating it at times, i feel nervous just thinking about it.. its a fear that has got worse over time until now i feel like i can kindof manage it and know when its bad and not bad. It stems from the dislike of green sweets and escalated before i knew it. However ,my fear of public toilets is becoming increasingly bothersome, to the point where it affects my life a lot. Travelling to university means i cant go home and have to use public which has led to yet another water infection.. (TMI tuesday ftw) this is probably my 7th in less than a year. Everyone knows why, because ive always been the same. Its getting worse now. I can completley rationalize what aspects are “bad” and what are “good” for instance, no gaps in the cubicle=bad, black toilet seat=bad, brown floor tiles=bad sometimes any floor tiles can be bad, grates on the floor=bad. not much good though. It gets to the point where i cant breathe being in them, ive been known to just burst into tears upon entering the sink area and walk out. The stupid thing is, like the green phobia, i dont want to lose it. it feels like a part of me.
SO i guess things coudl be a lot worse, and today i feel like they are. Ive never been tested for this but i believe i suffer with BDD, body dysmorphia, but not really severe. Basically, i would love to be permianantly drunk so i can see the “real reflection” if i wasnt so scared of the calorie content of alcohol.. and the fact that i like my liver. I hate mirrors and any reflective surfaces. I hate my picture taken, i feel anxious just glancing or waiting to see a picture. Its completley depressing. Sam has taken up drawing and tried to draw my picture. The most worring thing for me is whether or not i look ugly. The worst thing is that when he asked me if i thought it looked like me, i didnt know.. because i cant actually see/know what i look like.. which sound a bit wierd i suppose. Basically i cant see myself in my minds eye and find it hard in mirrors. The only true reprientation i get is from pictures. Depending on how “bad” i am. For instance, today. im having a typically bad day, looking at my reflection makes me want to cry. Its like all my imperfections are screaming out at me, bad skin, double chin, poor complexion e.c.t i could acctually cry. I wouldnt be able to live without makeup. which is in no way due to being superficial or vain. Sometimes i feel alien, like my eyes are too big and miscoloured and my skind miscoloured like greys and pinks e.c.t and that my skin is horrendus.. problem skin that nobody else seems to see. Its mostly my face but sometimes i just feel fat bloated and ugly.. All of this i dont tell anyone.. except the whole of the internet on a blog where i feel like im almost anonymous.
Eating itself is better, i no longer skip meals. i have the overwhelming urge to skip but i dont do it. I feel fat but i am in some way healthy.. other than the fact that i really want diet pills. i miss the feeling of getting smaller and smaller, seeing my hip bones and ribs and fitting into childrens clothes. I miss it so much, something i cant tell sam. His ex girlfirend was bullemic, something i would never be, but i fear if he knew how i was and how i want to be he would think im unstable and not be able to cope.
Phew.. well thats a lot off my chest, for now.
