Today I had to call my new insurance company to get a refferal to a therapist. It's like policy for them to ask if you are in immediate danger. I had two options, lie and have them not take me seriously or tell the truth and put up with the "do I need to call an ambulance" speach. I chose the latter. I spent the next hour on the phone being treated like a 5 year old. There is something about mental health that makes people treat you like a child. It has left me exhausted and numb.

People in my life scare me lately. No one can deal with me. If I tell them whats wrong they flip and get angry with me. If I don't tell them, they flip and get angry at me. I'm tired of this, all of this, and the scariest part is I'm not sure I have the energy to fix it.

I'm going to cry, drug myself, and watch Sex and the City.

Yesterday was Sierra's 1st birthday. I can't believe she's that old already, and she's talking and starting to walk. It made my day to hear her say dude. hah.

Okay on the mommy note, I had a convo on the way to the airport about Arthur. What the heck is he? A camel? A peanut? A scary hybrid of both? Someone out there is bound to know and can tell me.

On Rocketboom today, there is a piece about Subservient Chicken. It's one of those things you always wonder who had that amount of time on their hands and what posessed them to make it. Well, I know now and am kind of amused that the people live in the same town as me. hehe.

I might update some more later, but for now I need to go to the store.

Tomorrow is a birthday party for my niece [10] and nephew [6] at a local mini golf/go kart/video arcade/pizza place. I still haven't decided if I'm going or not. That might be far to many kids for me. Plus things are super tense in my family right now. I guess we will find out how I feel in the morning though.

Oh and before I forget. Happy Birthday Brent. :)

I was cleaning some things off of my desktop, since I'm not on this computer that much anymore. I found a folder of stuff from my ex, first love and all. I started to cry, I miss him. Not in a romantic way. We remained really close after we broke up, really close. But for some reason around thanksgiving this past year, he quit talking to me. Not just me, pretty much everyone. He's a dad now. I don't even know what's going on in his life. I'm friends with some of his friends and family and they don't even hear from him. Maybe I'll get lucky and he will read this and atleast email me.

I really need to get away from Austin for a while. There is so much around me that is keeping me down, I just want out.
I've lost my mind in wanderlust
My heart cannot be found
My body yearns for the warmth of snow
But the sun keep pouring down
These streets have signs that point somewhere
But there I don't belong
And there's no more use
To curl your hair
When your innocence is gone

I haven't been sleeping very much, if at all. My mind just won't shut down, or the room spins. I did really good for 2 weeks and then last night I just, couldn't. I passed that point where something can distract me or anchor me to earth. I had to, or it would have been worse.
I've had two lyrics stuck in my head all week.
One:
I will lie awake. Lie for fun and fake the way I hold you. Let you fall for every empty word I say.

Two:
Am I so sick in the head I need to bled dry to quit. Or I just really used to love him. I sure hope that's it.

I'm heavily broken
And I don't know what to do
It just seems like I'm choking
And I can't even move
When there's nothing left to say
What can you do?
I'm heavily broken
And there's nothing I can do

Feels like I'm drowning
I'm screaming for air
Louder I'm crying
And you don't even care

They've clipped my wings again
Tore them apart and then
Left me
No use to fly away to
My yesterday
Of freedom
My eyes died back that day
Seeing the hurt I may have done
Beat me instead of them
Pain is my only zen
Of fun

I'll go where secrets are sold
Where roses unfold
I'll sleep as time goes by

So hurting here is where I belong singing a song
Blood on my hands to stay strong
The flowers in the graveyard are all gone I don't belong
There is no right to heal the wrong
Soup's on hot feelin' like a do or die
I can't throw up don't think i even want to try

You still can't make me cry
You've pinned this butterfly
Down
My fire's burning out
Kill my flame without
A frown
And starving hurts the soul
When you're hungry for
Some love
So if I close my eyes
I can really fly
Above



Suicide watch is the best way to describe the past week or two. I'm not left alone very much, well technically. Even if I'm alone someone calls or something to check on me often. All medications in the house have been either hidden from me or just disappeared. Tonight I asked my mom for some over the counter sleep aid stuff..it's made by tylenol, not exactly strong stuff. She dumped some out into my hand and I started to go back to my room and she was like no count out how many you need and give me back the rest. I've hidden my razors because I'm scared they will be taken next. I haven't used them in a while but having them there is a comfort..I know if I start to overload and can't stop the falling then they are there. Even when no one else is.


My cat doesn't leave my side lately. She stays beside me. If I shower or take a bath she is waiting in my bathroom. If I go to the kitchen she follows and at night she has to sleep right beside me if not on top of me somewhere. She knows me better than anyone, and she's scared.


People keep asking me "what's wrong" and I can't answer that. I don't have one single thing I can say THAT right there is my problem. There just isn't one thing. The tiniest things set me off. Even the possibilities of things happening set me off. Today has been the first day people haven't checked on me. No ones called, my mom has left me alone, and I fake it. I smile and giggle and make jokes. No one notices.



I've had the question asked, what can people do to keep me from falling off the edge. What I react to, ect. The things I think of, I feel like I have no right to ask of people. It's not my place and that I just should deal. But then they do those things or I think of them doing those things and I can't breathe. I'm not sure what to do with that.



This is all just babbling, I'm out of it so I'm not sure if it really makes sense. The room is spinning so I'm going to try and rest.

I'd die without you. Without you, I'd die without you.

Into the woods, into the dark.
Waiting for someone to come.
You show up to comfort and protect me from the night.
Then you're gone.
No hand guiding me out, no flashlight, not even breadcrumbs.
So in the woods I stay, fighting another night.
Fighting for my life.
And doing so for reasons I don't believe.
Lies float around, making it hard to breathe.
Those lies and unsaid truths damn me.
Knowing you are willing to hurt the one you claim to be saving.
So tired of fighting.
Into the dark, into the woods.

I saw you cry today
The pain may fill you
I saw you shy away
The pain will not kill you

You made me smile today
You spoke with many voices
We travelled miles today
Shared expressions voiceless

It has to end
Living in your head
Without anything to numb you
Living on the edge
Without anything to numb you

It has to end to begin

Began an end today
Gave and got given
You made a friend today
Kindred soul cracked spirit

It has to end to begin

Living in your head
Without anything to numb you
Living on the edge
Without anything to numb you

It had to end to begin

Living in your head
Without anything to numb you
Living on the edge
Without anything to numb you

it has begun

I recieved a package from Cathy today. It made my day to see it, and everything in there was just so me. In case the picture is fuzzy here is what she sent: Songs from the great white north [which she made], a beautiful bookmark, post its [addiction], an adorable little note pad that says 'the world needs more Canada', a pen that says 'i love canada', and a lovely card. So, even though I already said so, thank you :)

I will be out of town for a few days so I won't be able to update or check up on anything. Part of me is looking forward to the trip but only the driving part. Being alone in my car with the stereo blasting, the family part could be non existent.
For now though, I must go. I need to get to bed and those sorts of things so I am not a zombie girl tomorrow.

EDIT

Not going out of town. My moms first husband and the father of my siblings has taken a turn for the worst. I'm sticking around to help out with what I can. Not that I really can, but yea.
