Voices

The voices inside my head are driving me mad. They always say the same thing, and they're beginning to sound like not only myself, but my friends, family and boyfriend. I wish they would just shut up.

stupid//fat//ugly//worthless//failure.

They whisper that I'm not good enough, not pretty enough, not thin enough, and that I never will be.  I can't shut them out, no matter how hard I try. When I take the blade across my skin, the sins of the day slowly drip away, making my body pure once more, and when I purge, through the pain and struggle, I know that it will bring bittersweet relief. yet still the voices torment me. They weave a tangled web of thorns that pierce my skin and pull me under. I cannot escape, and I'm afraid of falling into the depths of darkness completely.

Does anyone else feel this way, or am I completely losing it??

  1. I feel this way too. It's all part of an eating disordered life.
