I have too much trauma as it is.\u00a0 My brain hates me, it makes everything so much harder, why must it torment me in this way.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also gained a good bit of weight, which I am still very upset about.\u00a0 I used to be overweight and that is the last thing I want to be again.\u00a0 To make it worse, my psychiatrist says my face looks like I&#8217;ve gained, which was absolutely the last thing I wanted to hear.\u00a0 I&#8217;m super self conscious about how much I weigh, but sometimes I can&#8217;t avoid eating junky food.\u00a0 Like for basketball games we get fast food after away-games, and it&#8217;s pretty much that or being super hungry.\u00a0 I really just want to have a flat stomach, I work out everyday but nothing ever seems to help.\u00a0 Diets are pretty much guaranteed to fail, they are designed to take a few pounds off and then it comes right back, maybe even more.\u00a0 I&#8217;m actually pretty happy with my body other than my persistent beer belly, even though I don&#8217;t drink beer.\u00a0 I do crunches and sit-ups and all of that and nothing ever seems to help. I barely eat anything but my weight just goes up and up.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t really drink soda or anything either, I carry around a water bottle and that&#8217;s pretty much all except maybe an Envy or two.\u00a0 I know being a low weight number isn&#8217;t really that plausible with my height, but I just want to be able to wear my practice shirt without my stomach sticking out several inches from the rest of my body. It is so humiliating.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Also, I have been feeling a lot more depressed lately. It might have to do something with the previous statements, but I also have started a new medicine that can cause worsening in depression symptoms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I just really want to be hugged tightly by someone and just let out a good cry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t really have a specific topic to talk about in this blog, it&#8217;s kind of just me emptying my brain in a somewhat coherent way.
