some other things that have been bothering me is some of my trauma like me getting touched inappropriately when I was a little I have spoken up about this to my therapist, which I have ect I do get bad dreams here and there because of it and there’s times where I just can’t look at my body or can’t sleep because I wake up for my nap and I’m scared, I have been through so many negative things and I thought so many battles years back I used to sh and had a attempt and that’s when I went to my school and got help. Ever since I went to SAC yesterday and my dad called my mom. I’ve been really down and my dad yesterday was very disappointed when he got home from work he slammed the bedroom door, he didn’t say hi how was your day or anything he was in a very bad mood still today he’s still in a bad mood and hasn’t talk to me at all today. He left to work and didn’t say bye or I love you. All I did was hear his footsteps he didn’t come in my room and I haven’t seen him at all today, I feel like a disappointment. I have also gotten back to my old ways of my bad eating disorder, which I never told anyone about, but I starved myself so much in middle school that I ended up losing weight and I was a chubby kid so people noticed, including my mom that I lost away I just lied and said that I’m working outbut eating disorder is starting to come again and I have my moments where I do starve myself I don’t eat lunch or breakfast. I would only drink water and only water . to cut it short because this is very long I’ve been through a lot my whole life. I’m only 17 and well, I hate to say it, but I’m kind of scared for my future. I’ve struggled a lot and all I know is struggling. I know how to mask and I know how to stay strong and continue my day , which I have done but sometimes the “mask breaks” if you know what I mean and it sucks. It sucks terribly all they have is my dog my hermit crabs and fish my sketchbook and music. I don’t really have a lot the way things keeping me alive today is my SAC, art and my pets
It really sounds like you have been through a lot. I hope you were able to get help when you were younger and that person that touched you was dealt with too. It does seem like you have a therapist. I hope they are helping you. Maybe you need to seek out more intensive counseling.
I am not sure why the SAC contacted your parents because everything is confidential, but if you were high on marijuana the school has to contact your parents.
As far as your eating disorder, I would like to give you a resource that might help. www.nationaleatingdisorders.org
You are still young and your mental health can improve. Try to think of some positives in your life. Make a gratitude list. It could be something as simple as I have a roof over my head and clothes on my back.
