So Lost…Can’t seem to find my way back

I am listening to Evenescence’s song "My Immortal" right now. I love this song. It speaks to me somehow. Anyways, I am so lost right now. Today I had such stronge urges to self-harm and I haven’t done that in over 4 yrs now. I just hate myself entirely. I ate again last night after telling myself I wouldn’t. It was like 11pm. I should have just went to bed, but my craving to taste something was so so strong. It was all I could think about. Not sure if I would have even been able to fall asleep had I went to bed as I was wide awake. So that’s 2 nights in a row that i have binged and not purged and I hate myself for it. I literally can’t stand to be in my own skin. I immediately think and feel like a whale. I hate it.

My son was also up all night last night as he just came down with a cold. So I haven’t been getting enough sleep and my mind is about to explode. Several times today I wanted to just scream out loud, really really loud. AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!……I have so much anger and resentment inside me and it’s unbearable at times. I feel Iike I never get a break. I feel like my husband doesn’t do enough. I feel like I am a single mom, which I wouldn’t mind, so long as my hubby then wouldn’t come home. I would rather do it alone without him here. Then I would feel ok and not at all resentful. But when he’s here and I do everything while he sits on the computer or watches one of his shows while we’re supposed to be having a family dinner, it irriates and angers me. I hate it.

I am determined to get my weight down to 95lbs and see how I feel then. Even writing this, I know it won’t be enough. Since before I told myself just to get down to 100 and I am already there and that’s no longer acceptable. But we’ll see. I can’t seem to lose too fast and it’s so so annoying. I still haven’t gotten my period which scares me a bit. But I don’t think I can be prego as I haven’t had sex with my hubby in over a month…Since before Valentines Day. Wow, that’s horrible. I feel bad writing that. My poor man. That kinda also makes me feel sad. Look what my ED is doing to me. I can no longer do anything normal anymore. I exist in my own living hell on earth. I was going to buy a pregnancy test today howerver, but didn’t. Can’t imagine what I would do even if I was prego…YIKES>..I am finding 2 kids a handful, can’t imagine another one.

Today I didn’t eat anything (guilt from last night’s binge) until dinner. I made a homemade whole wheat, ground beef pizza with olives and i had one slice for dinner. I got up from the table cuz Tahir was so cranky and I told my hubby I had lost my appetite. I can’t stand to eat while he is screaming in my ear. NOISE SEEMS TO REALLY SET ME OFF AND BOTHERS ME A LOT>….I don’t like loud or sudden noises for some reason. So here I am tonight. My hubby went out, thank goodness. Now I can be alone with my ED. I am hoping and praying that I don’t give in and eat. I have been telling myself that instead of binging tonight, why not save those calories and eat some popcorn while watching a movie with my daughter tomorrow. That way, I get to eat and have a bit more energy during the day when my kids need me. Makes sense. So I will try that. I deserve to suffer tonight, I deserve an empty stomach. I am such a fucking pig. I even ate oreo cookies that my hubby bought yesterday. He did it on purpose cuz he knows i love junk food and sweets. I told him I would throw them out and he nearly freaked. LOL. Anyways, they tasted really good. I hid them deep in the cupboard though, hoping to put them out of my mind…Obviously not working as I am sitting here writing about those damn cookies. LOL…Anyways, I am going to go read for a bit before Tahir wakes up for the 3rd time tonight since putting him to bed.

I have a thing for junkfood and sweets too. They torture me! When my boyfriend brings them home I think, “NO!!!!” lol. If you ever need to talk, I’m here. I know what it’s like to be cranky and wishing you could just get away from yourself for a minute. Take care xo

RYN: Thanks. I am not doing quite as good this week with not binging, but I’ll get back on track again. Congrats to you for not binging Monday night! Hope the rest of the week went ok. HUGS!

Do you work? Maybe you should get a job or volunteer a couple days a week. It would give you something to do and give you the opportunity to meet/interact with a larger group of people and get some time for your self–to learn something new, do something you enjoy, and discover your talents. I’m sure you do a lot for your husband and kids, but maybe having an identity outside the home would help.

How can you want to be 95lbs and think that you’ll be healthy enough and have enough energy to look after your kids. It’s bigger than just you
