As I sit here at my desk typing into the
keyboard all my thoughts are racing. I
feel like writing this just to get it out
so excuse the rantings. Beginning with
being an overly self conscience fifth
grader to being a multiply diagnosed
nineteen year old guy. According to
doctors I was diagnosed with an Eating
Disorder(starting with anorexia switching
to bulimia and back to anorexia) Major
Depressive Disorder, Schitzophrenic
Paranoia, ADD, and several other more
insignificant problems. Daily i take An
antidepressant, anti-anxiety, amphetamine,
and an anti-psychotic. Brings me to eight
pills a day. I have been in and out of the
hospital twice, once for an attempted
suicide when i was drunk, and the second
for instabilty. Both where I was admitted
into a psych ward. I wanted to get better
before i started the medication but as it
went on i got worse. They have jumped me
from medication to medication, blaming the
fact that i waited to long to get help was
why i wasn't getting better. And now I am
starting to realize how things work.
Beginning with the fact that I am
absolutely addicted to two of my
medications. Being Adderall and Klonopin,
which is an antianxiety. Adderall to aid
my eating disorder and give me energy, and
Klonopin in order to not be the epitome of
cynicism and believe that shadows at night
are not hiding people that just observe
me.
Recently I lost my best friend.
She became understandably annoyed with my
depressive almost manic states and mood
changes as one medication wore off to
another. I eventually made her depressed.
She left and has a new group of friends
and now shes happy. I feel horrible for
how i made her feel by being negative. I
never directly said negative things to
her, but about things regarding to life
and just the overwhelming feelings of
worthlessness, hopelessness, and guilt. It
was almost like i gave her a sneak peak to
the hell i was living with. But shes happy
now that we do not talk. And i'm not. My
reaction to her actions led a broken cd to
cause twelve cuts on my upper thigh. I
just realized that if i cannot kill myself
in a direct way again then i am forced to
commit a slow suicide. And it has already
started.
I am six feet and one inch and
weigh one hundred and fifty three pounds.
Its to the point where i cannot wear white
shirts anymore because people comment on
the fact that they can see my rib cage. I
abuse my adderall to aid this and no one
takes notice. Not even my psychiatrist who
knows all of my problems, she doesn't care
as long as she recieves her paycheck. And
as i was sitting in the front of my
mid-sized suburban home chain smoking my
Marlboro cigarrettes, tonight, i realized
this was my way out. This is it. My slow
suicide. And by writing this I only hope
that people don't feel the way i do. I
desperately want the world to go on. I
care in that sense. I want everything to
be perfect and happy.
But i feel like i have already
been exposed to too much too young. Even
as I sit here i can feel my heart
pounding. It is sick to say but it is so
comforting. I know the end is close. That
all this suffering will eventually subside
into nothingness. Everyone has to start
understanding that unless you are
seriously messed up, by a long line of
hereditary mental illnesses and horrifying
and confusing personal experiances, you
can get better. Depression is a chemical
thing. But i can't fight it anymore I
realize that after a while with treatment
both therapy and psychiatry I
subconsciously cannot and will not allow
myself to get better. It's almost like i
resist it, all of the effort to
'stabilize' me failed and so everyone who
reads this is left to cope with their own
diagnosis and i wish you good luck and a
happy life. I know exactly what I am doing
to my body, and i pray for my life to
finally come to it's end.

That's too bad you feel that
way.......................life is
overwhelming to many people, especially
those with multiple
problems..............but to give up and
give in to self pity isn't the
way......................when life becomes
too much for me and I start feeling sorry
for myself................my own "little
pity party", living in the land of
"pathetic"..............I do something to
change it, for the
better...................something
small............anything.................
......even the little stuff can grow into
bigger successes........................
..............I know what it's like to be
depressed and hopeless...............to me
it's like living under the
ocean..............unable to
breathe.............the surface miles
above..........................when I do
these little things, whatever they
are...............it gives the feeling of
swimming up..........not down

MY DR IS THE BEST. I DO NOT GET CHARGED
ALL THE TIME. I LOST 2 FRIENDS. I AM NOT
GOING TO SIT AND DEBATE. I AM A LOT OLDER
THAN YOU. AS YOU GET OLDER YOU MAY DEAL
WITH THOSE ISSUES AGAIN OR NEW ONES. I
HOPE THAT YOU DONT. DEPRESSION IS AN
ILLNESS. IF IT WAS SO EASY TO STOP THERE
WOULD BE NO DEPRESSION. I HAVE STUDIED A
LOT ON ALL MY ISSUES. SOME I HAVE SETTLED
WITH.
