“No amount of me trying to explain myself was doing any good. I didn't even know what was going on inside of me, so how could I have explained it to them?”
― Sierra D. Waters, Debbie.

“Do you know that feeling? When everything you do seems like a struggle. Where you dont wanna leave the house because you know everyone is judging you. Where you cant even ask for directions in fear that they critise you. Where everyone always seems to be picking out your flaws. That feeling where you feel so damn sick for no reason.
Do you know that feeling where you look in the mirror and completly hate what you see. When you grab handfuls and handfuls of fat and just want to cut it all off. That feeling when you see other beautiful girls and just wish you looked like them. When you compare yourself to everyone you meet. When you realise why no one ever showed intrest in you. That feeling where you become so self conscious you dont even turn up at school. That feeling when you feel so disappointed in who you are and everything you have become. That feeling when every bite makes you wanna be sick. When hunger is more satifying that food. The feeling of failure when you eat a meal.
Do you know that feeling when you cant run as far as your class. Fear knowing that everyone thinks of you as the"Unfit FAT BITCH" That feeling when you just wanna let it all out but you dont wanna look weak. The fear you have in class when you dont understand something but your too afraid to ask for help. The feeling of being to ashamed to stand up for yourself.
Do you know the feeling when your deepest fear becomes a reality. Fear that you will NEVER be good enough. When you feel as if you deserve all the pain you give yourself. When you finally understand why everyone hates you. FINALLY realising the harsh truth. Understanding that every cut, every burn, every bruise you have even given yourself, you deserved. In fact you deserved worse. That feeling when you believe you deserve constant and brutal pain.
Do you know what it feels like to just want to give up. When you just want all the pain to end but you want it to continue? Or am i just insane”

“Today I wore a pair of faded old jeans and a plain grey baggy shirt. I hadn't even taken a shower, and I did not put on an ounce of makeup. I grabbed a worn out black oversized jacket to cover myself with even though it is warm outside. I have made conscious decisions lately to look like less of what I felt a male would want to see. I want to disappear.”
― Sierra D. Waters, Debbie.

“We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving â€� We pride ourselves on getting as little sleep as possible and thrive on self-deprivation. We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins â€� We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We never want to be as passive-aggressive are our mothers, never want to marry men as uninspired as our fathers â€� We are the daughters of the feminists who said, “You can be anything,â€� and we heard, “You have to be everything.”

“Pain is pain
She lost her baby
Her life fell apart
Everyone was there for her lending a helping hand all the time
On the other side she failed her final school year
It hurt her so much
People didn't support her as she drowned in her pain and failure
You see it really doesn't matter what caused your pain
It's all the same my dear
So never feel why is she crying over a failing year awhile I lost my baby
Don't ever compare
Pain is pain
Maybe a different reason
But pain is pain”
― Kabashe Pillay

“Maybe if we just assumed everyone was a mosaic, made up of cracks and mis-colored pieces, fighting to stay together and appear whole, we could be more tender, more sympathetic, more patient. We might end up being the glue that holds them together, even for another minute, and keeps it from shattering into a thousand distorted pieces.”
― Carlee J Hansen, How the Light Comes In: A memoir of hope and healing on the path with anxiety.

“THE “AWARENESSâ€� SHIELD FEAT.

According to the Bible, Joseph obtained enormous prestige in Egypt, when he was able to divine the dreams of the pharaoh,

As Joseph earned that feat with a great social prestige, in different traditions the "awareness" of the future, or an inaccessible present, always proved a merit that produces social honor. Weber (1922) considers the prophets, along with the priests and magicians, as examples of charismatic leaders, and this is because "predict " or " perceive" the future has been, in different traditions, a strong feat that has given pride and social prestige those who perform.
It postulates a "shield feat of awareness" that is intended to offset the impact on the pride of some future anti-feat. When the firepower that a possible future anti-feat has about pride and social prestige is too high and becomes unbearable, the person can go into that future equipped with a shield feat that will compensate. From that strategy, thinking badly of the future is a way of ensuring the "consolation prize" of having the merit of "prediction�.
According to Steele (1988 ), when a person experiences a negative assessment of himself in a particular field, they can initiate a process of self-affirmation activating positive beliefs in another area, thus achieving a positive overall assessment of itself. The pessimistic shield feat "awareness of future failureâ€�, would be a merit that safeguards to offset the impact of that failure on self- concept , an achievement an overall assessment that is not so negative.”

“TIRED SOUL

Tired of this road that never seems to end,
A burden on shoulders, too heavy to mend.
I tried to be better, to rise and to shine,
But every step faltered, each effort declined.

My love, she’s weary, her patience worn thin,
Like a shadow I linger, outside, looking in.
She’s tired of my presence, my words turned to dust,
And now all that’s left is this shattered trust.

A smile feels like weight, too heavy to bear,
And tears? They’re just stories, no one wants to share.
I’m lost in a silence that grows with each breath,
Yearning for peace in the arms of sweet death.

Yet somewhere deep down, a voice softly pleads,
That hope might still linger in the quietest needs.
But darkness surrounds, and it’s hard to believe,
That morning can follow a night that won’t leave.”
― Janid Kashmiri

“Loneliness is a feeling that no one could ever understand unless you have felt it atleast once in your life.
Maybe everyone is around and they don't realise your demise
Maybe everyone is around and they really don't care
Being in a position where your loneliness kills you is the worst”
― Kabashe Pillay
