Re: My Story...

wow... our story is somewhat similar so i can totally identify.

i have clinical Depression and am currently fighting to get my financial aid reinstated because of a particularly bad past couple of quarters.

also, my story is more like several different occations as well, AND i'm fighting with the whole: is it safe to be cute and look nice, while gaining weight and dressing sloppy sometimes to be "safer."

i'm currently in a controlling relationship, and i've been really debating whether to end it or try and work with it, because we've been together since i was 15 (i'm now 22). part of that comes from a sense of loyalty to a long standing relationship, part of it because i've never really dated or been single before, and part of it ... well i never realized this before, but after reading your story it suddenly clicked, part of it is also because i feel safe not only being in a relationship (because it makes me unavailable), but being in one in which i am "protected" with lots of rules and structure, and by someone who seems to always know what's best.

sorry, i guess i'm kinda rambling now, but reading your story really got me to thinking, and i often think aloud. especially in writing :P

anyway, thanks for sharing, and just know that you have my support ^^ Tweet
