I started writing shortly after OD launched, around 1999 at 11 years old. Of course my original diary was lost in the abyss of teenage angst, but I established this one in 2004...that was a long time ago - it took awhile to get from then to now.
Some things are private, some things were lost when OD went down, some I deleted myself...but this is what remains. $99 for a lifetime subscription as a broke college kid was a solid investment.

Trauma. Depression. Anorexia. Self injury. Anxiety. Promiscuity. Bad decisions. And somehow, a "happily ever after". And now, lots of therapy.

Trauma

The devil’s been inside of me hot between my thighs Your god just watched him fuck me right before his eyes The devil’s been inside of me down on hands and knees Had me worshipping his idol until my body seized The devil’s been inside of me filled me full of [lies] Spit in my…

    “Sense entered into a short, violent skirmish with instinct and inclination, and was overwhelmed.” - The Cuckoo’s Calling I had never noticed him before - I mean, not in that way at least...though we've probably spoken hundreds of times; he speaks fast and is always moving, so our conversations w...

    Sometimes there are so many thoughts in my head, I feel overwhelmed, and I get that craving to journal - to take the jumble of thoughts and lay them all out, organize them, make sense of them...but when I start to type, they're gone. I quit therapy awhile ago - I got frustrated. Sometimes it…

    How do I continuously end up right back where I started? No warning. No slippery slope. Just, a sudden drop. Thrown against the same fucking wall. And every time it hits, it hits a little harder. I thought it was just another migraine. I took some Excedrin and tried to push through it. We were&he...

    It started with a massage - well, no, it started with neck pain. Chronic f*cking neck pain. It'd been over a year since my last appointment, but I booked with the same therapist I always do; this time though, he questioned if I was experiencing abuse or a history of abuse/trauma, which caught me ...

    Last week at Krav I momentarily dissociated - my partner reached up and swiped my face back to distract me/counter a headlock; I'm not sure how long his hand was on my face - I remember trying to ignore it and then, it's like everything went blank, and the next thing I knew he was…

    Trauma recovery is like a maze; wandering around, never knowing where you're going, or if you're making progress, or when you'll hit a wall - you can spend so much time ardently searching for the right path, and still miss it, knowing it's there, but unable to find it. It's messy and you keep mak...

    It was really hard to be alone with myself last night - well, maybe alone isn't the right word; it was hard to be sober. So I put wine on the grocery order this morning & it felt like a sign when they claimed it was out of stock, and there was no substitute (...not…

    Sometimes I cry after sex. I've tried to narrow down the exact "feeling" lately - the closest I can come up with to describe it though is grief, and that doesn't really make sense. It's heavy, and it crushes my chest and burns my throat and strangles me & even if I close my eyes,…
