Long time no see
Hey everyone. I’m not sure if anyone even checks this page or not but I have been gone for a little while. I needed to take a break for a bit to get back on track. I started therapy, working out daily and a new quarter at college. I have been determined to fight for my soul/happiness. I was so tired of being tired from being depressed/not feeling anything.(you know the feeling) Anyways I...

I have no energy today. I feel so lost but not at all at the same time. I want to cry but not. I am so indifferent and it makes me feel so sad. I can’t find any energy to do anything productive. I just want to cry and cry and cry just to feel something. I hate this so much. :’(

Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act Introduced... →
On Tuesday, Virginia Congressman Tom Perriello introduced the Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act (Campus SAVE Act) to the House of Representatives. The act is a major revamp of the Campus Sexual Assault Victim’s Bill of Rights, which was signed into law in 1992 to build on the Clery Act.
The Campus SAVE Act is a much needed update to current federal policy, and offers far more...

SO I have gotten nothing done today. Not a single thing. My professors gave me an extension for my classes, so I can make up what I missed in the last 3 weeks I fell off the face of the earth. I have to take a final tomorrow but I missed 3 weeks of class so I know I am going to fail that. I hate it because I really liked that class and now I am barely making it by. It all just feels so...

Fear Smashing 101: Epic Reinvention (Click ME) →
This is pretty inspiring. I feel like this goes hand in hand with my ECBA (Extremely Confident Bad Ass) plan. Plus I am all for an Epic Reinvention at this point.

head above water
Lately it feels as though I can barely keep my head above water. I forgot that since I am seriously emotionally unstable I should probably not drink whiskey. I went into a seriously dark place Friday night. I called RAINN and talked to a girl on there for like 30 minutes. I was trying to get her to understand something and then she said “well I don’t know I have never been sexually...

Self Love Kicks Ass (click me) →
I found this article about taking a positive attitude instead of a negative one with yourself. For example, instead of focusing on the weight you need to lose or the issues you have to work through celebrate the weight you have lost and the steps you have taken to tackle your issues. Be kind to yourself. You’ve been through a lot and sometimes it’s just nice to hear I love you, even if...

December 1st
New month, new start. Today it started snowing and although the sky is gray it was beautiful. I realized how much nature means to me. It is the place where I recharge my batteries, where I can breathe. I felt invigorated by the fact that is was a new month so I decided to start working on making myself strong again. I want to feel strong and powerful. I want to know that I am taking the steps to...

I set up an appointment to see a therapist December 16th. That was the soonest they could see me. Some days it feels as though there is a vacuum in my heart sucking out all of my happiness and energy. I wish someone could see me sooner because I could really use it right about now.

Day 1
So here I am on day 1. It has been a year and a week since I was sexually assaulted. The week before the anniversary I was doing pretty well but as soon as that day rolled around I was reminded of all of the horrible memories. Friends were trying to celebrate the fact that I had survived and seemed to be thriving. They talked on and on about how bad I was, how that incident made me weird, and that...
