The past couple of weeks have been really hard. I haven't felt a depression like this since I was last on medication, which was a few years ago. I initially thought Effexor was going to work for me because the first two weeks I felt calmer, my appetite decreased, and I had some hope that maybe things would turn around. But now... things are falling apart. I've attended only 2 days of classes in the past two weeks and I am SO behind in school work. I've missed enough classes that the college can kick me out now. I plan to talk to my advisor soon and I hope she'll be understanding of my situation. I fully intended to go to class today. I got up in time, had breakfast. Then I just started freaking the hell out. I was literally sitting here shaking. My heart was racing and I felt like I was having a panic attack. Instead of heading out the door (I was in no condition to drive), I curled up on my bed and fell asleep for an hour and a half. Immediately after waking up I binged for who knows what reason since I wasn't even hungry. Trying to avoid going to class? I don't know. The panic attack feeling came rushing back and I called my dad telling him that I stayed home yet again and that I can't continue with this medication. He told me to get out of the house for a while, maybe go hiking. I'm going to leave to do that in a few minutes... So yeah, I binged, and I feel disgusting. 300+ carbs according to sparkpeople.com, 1900 calories. Christ. I fucking ate mostly popcorn, oatmeal, 2 cereal bars, handfulls of dry cereal, and bread. I weigh 130lbs (weighed myself after bingeing, so I don't know how much of that weight is the food in my stomach). It's my 5th day without purging so at least there's one thing to be proud of. I can feel how much it's destroying my teeth and I really don't want to lose them by the time I'm 30 so I'm done with that shit. I'm still bingeing, but I feel like I'm headed in the right direction despite that. I keep telling myself I have to take one step at a time, that I can't expect myself to stop purging AND bingeing at the same time. *Sigh* I guess I'll go pack a couple water bottles and head out to go hiking with my dog. Yesterday I took her for a 6 mile walk, so hopefully she's up to it. The mutt never seems to run out of energy though so I don't think I have to worry about it. Current Mood: fat

I went to California and now I'm back. The wedding went wonderfully and it made me so happy to see my best friends. It's hard to believe 11 years have passed since I met them and that my one best friend is now married with a daughter. Where does time go? I didn't binge while I was there, didn't purge, and was free from my obsession about weight for a few days. When I'm with those people it makes me realize how trivial this all is. There's so much more to life than weight and appearances. I ate wedding cake, lasagna, tacos... hell I heve ate an entire egg and cheese sandwich on the plane ride home... and I still lost weight because I wasn't bingeing and purging. I was eating like a normal person. Despite that, however, I've been in a funk since I have gotten home. It's like I don't give a shit about anything anymore. All I want to do is sleep. I skipped my classes on Tuesday and b/p, slept, b/p again, slept again. Yesterday was okay... didn't really binge and went to class. Today I skipped again and b/p twice in the morning after waking up, then went back to sleep for 4 hours. I'm throwing everything away. I'm getting behind in my classes. According to the syllabus, I have a test next Tuesday in my art history course and I have no fucking notes for it. I don't know what the fuck to do. I can't get notes from anyone before then. If I get a 0 on the test, the best grade I'll manage to get for the class is maybe a C depending on how I did on my paper. Fuck. I don't know if I'm liking this medicine. It gives me a "Fuck it" mindset and I just don't give a damn about anything. My weight is disgusting, I'm failing my courses. I'm almost where I was 7 years ago. I don't know how to get out of this cycle. Current Mood: depressed

Ughhhh I feel nauseous. I just binged on absolute junk.
- 7 pieces of chocolate (the fun size bars) - 3? Chips Ahoy cookies - sugar free pudding - 2 packets of oatmeal - 1 slice wheat bread - 1/2 slice potato bread - 1/2 c. Frosted Flakes - 2 Kashi GoLean bars - graham cracker sheet - 4 oz yogurt - 1/2 c. cottage cheese - 3 strawberries - 1/2 c. peach slices - 1 fajita - 3/4 oz cheese - 100 cal bag of Cheetos
... somewhere around 2000 calories, all eaten within 2 hours. What pisses me off the most is that I didn't even want any of it. I ate a Kashi bar for breakfast, made coffee, went upstairs, and was on my laptop for a while. Then I got bored, realized I had another hour and a half or so before I had to leave for school, and went to go eat more. Then of course once I started eating the candy shit, I couldn't stop. I hate sugary stuff like that because all it does is make me want more. I'm probably going to crash later today from the huge amount of sugar I've eaten as well as get some bad cravings.
I actually started shoveling yet more food in my mouth because I was planning to purge. Yeah, well I remembered that I had already taken my medicine. There goes that idea. Now I'm sitting here with a belly poking out a mile. Fuck it though, it's a good thing I can't purge. This shit doesn't control me, I control it. Fuck purging.
Now it's finally time for me to go to class, hooray. I have cardio kickboxing. At least I'll be exercising for the next 2 hours...
Some good news: I somehow weighed 126lbs yesterday morning. I double checked it on our other scale too. I also didn't binge/purge yesterday, so hooray for that too.
