you know your ill when....

[Sallas]

When your crying so hard because ur so lonely but cant let the first person to want to see you in weeks come around because your face is so red from crying and u know youll cry in front of them.

When you struggle to remember what 'illness' you havent given as an excuse to ur boss.

You talk to the wall & end up laughing at the reply you've made up in ur head

You stare at the knifes doing the delf (as a possible way out) for so long they dry themselves

You sit on the kitchen floor crying cause you dont see the point of moving

You drink just to get to tomorrow

You end up hungry because you havent bought any food for the house cause u thought u were going to end it but then ur too afraid to go out to get food in case something happens.

U post more here than on facebook.

when you stop drinking fluids in the hope it will do the job for you

I talk to inanimate objects all the time

[doublep]

I talk to everything.

I talk to myself most nights.. dont feel as lonely.

[Sweetpea]

I am always talking to myself.   Just tend to say things out loud.  When I am at work people ask me was I talking to them, no I was just talking to myself.

I talk to myself too - or the dog, we have great chats  :) xx

[cornish]

your having a conversation with a purple russian hedgehog and the only reason you realize something is wrong is that the hedgehog should be hibernating

[Sweetpea]

Oh yes, my dogs hear it all too.  They have a way of just looking at me with their heads to one side.  So sweet.

When you go to put the dog outside and realised you have opened the washing-machine!
When you feel everyone in your family is against you and fed up with you
When you go downstairs or upstairs for something and can't remember why
When you don't get up until 2.00 p.m and don't bother about your appearance for days/weeks
When you make plans to do something in the house the next day and never do it
When your husband tells you you look a mess
When if you have a couple of good days people expect you then to be magically ok for good

[cornish]

You think this is a good idea



Yes that is a Lollypop in a drill and it shredded my tongue, I did this some time early last year and I just considered it again.

[doublep]

I'd do something like that... knowing full well its daft

[Munchroom]

  Please realise its a bad idea!

[smirfy21]

not a clever idea!!

You know you are truly ill when you hit rock bottom, loose everything and think you cannot sink any lower and then do so with a massive thud!!!

[Munchroom]

When you struggle to remember what the old 'well' you was like.
When you need encouragement from everyone around you just to do basic everyday things.
When a few hours of doing something 'normal' tires you out for days.
When your doctor wants to see you weekly.
When you self harm so much you don't even feel the pain.
