2013

March 2013 – Present
  • I have binged and purged 15 to twenty times the last three months. 
  • I envision myself a hundred pounds lighter and able to have sex with anybody I want anytime I choose. 
  • I have no interest in anything that I used to enjoy doing (bike riding, hiking, photography, genealogy, gardening).
  • I get very jumpy when driving and have had to pull over before because my heart feels like it’s going to pop out of my chest.
  • I have a lot of anxiety and it elevates over voices, sounds, noises, television.
  • I have been very hypersexual and looking at porn on my computer several times per day. 
  • All I can think about is sex sometimes. 
  • Again, I have been very interested in hooking up with only guys and have posted ads on craigslist looking for discreet hookups. 
  • I usually end up posting an ad and then staying up all night checking my email ready to leave the house at a moment’s notice.  
  • Something takes over in my mind and I just want what I want and if I don’t get it I will crash into a depressive angry state until I have my next hi period and do it all over again. 
  • All I can think about is the pleasure I will experience and it makes me want that feeling even more. 
  • When I’m hypersexual my sleep changes to me staying up all night sometimes for days at a time putting singles ads on craigslist and looking at porn.
  • When I’m depressed all I want to do is sleep for 14 to 16 hours at a time.
  • I always feel stressed and very anxious. 
  • I much prefer the quiet because certain noises cause me anxiety
  • I have no hope for my future.
  • I think about death a lot and how mine might play out. 
  • I have a hard time bathing, brushing my teeth, and shaving on a regular basis.
  • I am on edge all the time and will snap at a moment’s notice. 
  • I got upset with my little three year old niece in April 2013 picked her up, shook her, yelled in her face, and tossed her on the couch. 
  • I have been on a mission to lead a healthier lifestyle and have lost 35 pounds since February. 
  • I have angry outbursts where I say horrible things about others and those around me see it as very funny. 
  • The worst part about these angry outbursts is that I can’t stop once I start and the harder people laugh at me the angrier I get.
