I've decided that I need to see a psychologist, at least once to determine what, if anything, is wrong with me. I'm waiting to start until next semester since I'll be home for a while and really don't want to tell my mom that I'm going to seek professional help.

So then I started thinking, what makes it necessary for someone to seek help? When do you cross that boundary? I know I've crossed it a long time ago, but I'm not sure when.

  • I've been struggling off and on with your garden variety eating disorder since age 11.
  • Sometimes I play with scissors and razor blades on my legs.
  • The last time I felt truly rejected, I nearly drank myself to death.
  • I routinely lay in bed and cry for no reason.
  • The other night, the suicidal thoughts started.

I used to proud of being fucked up but now I'm just sick of it. I'd like to lead a normal life already.
