Taking this photograph created a deep sense of vulnerability and fear within me. It shows more skin than I normally would ever want to show, but I think the message I want to share is more important.
I have been struggling with overcoming Anorexia. It has been very difficult to overcome because it is entwined within the matrix of my PTSD. I have failed to receive any real help with my PTSD.
This struggle with finding solutions for my PTSD has made progress dealing with my eating disorder very difficult. Every time I try to figure things out and ask for assistance I am derailed or ignored. I have been tying on my own to get better but it seems like I am only getting worse. I stopped working out because I knew it was only fueling my anorexia. I tried to consume more calories but when I get over a certain point I start to feel extremely depressed (for lack of better word) and overwhelmed. If I turn off my emotions I can force myself to consume more calories and pretend that I do not exist. But the feelings do exist and cause me emotional pain. I have not weighed myself for a month, which is quite the accomplishment. The only problem with not weighing myself is that I have no way to track my progress. Therefore I weighed myself this morning and found out I have continued to lose weight, not gain weight. Now I am further underweight for someone my height than I ever have been; this should make me happy but I am sad.
I am sad because I am not able to help myself. I feel helpless and quite hopeless about getting better. What I want is for people to understand that people like me, who suffer from multiple mental health issues, need special care. You can’t simply throw words and theories at us and hope we fix ourselves. We need professional help and (almost more importantly) we need social support from our family and friends (if we have any). Without social support healing is extremely difficult, especially if the people who you need (or want) to support you are actually doing the opposite.
I feel ashamed and sad for having Anorexia. Often people tell me to “just go eat more” or “don’t think about it” or “get over it/move on” but these statements make me feel very defeated. Statements like these are sometimes meant as encouragement, but often they are ways for people to minimize the feelings of helplessness they feel and or to make the problem go away by pretending it does not exist. But these statements are hurtful and simply add to my feelings of helplessness. I truly feel stuck, like I can’t get better. I am trying so hard but still coming up a failure.
It is not always obvious who suffers from an eating disorder. Men and women work hard to disguise or hide their eating disorders because we feel that we need them to survive. The majority of those who suffer with an eating disorder do not look emaciated and do not need to look that way in order to need help. Please don't look at someone who you think is thin-normal weight and tell them they are fine just because their bones are not sticking out or they don't look like the skeletons popular media displays (those cases are very rare).
Please help the men and women who suffer from Eating Disorders by visiting any of these websites and either learn more or donate.

This alley has been in my photo location bank for a while and I was so excited to shoot in it. It was a little deflating to realize how busy this place actually is but I managed to get some blank shots of it empty. I definitely got some curious onlookers who wondered why I was in a sleeveless shirt in London during a January shower but the adrenaline kept me going.
This photo is about the feeling of giving up before the fight has even begun, which is a feeling I'm all too familiar with. If there was a zombie apocalypse I'd be the first or second infected; I would not put up a fight.

Just finished an interview with Texas artist "give up" for my new site. www.thebridgeburner.blogspot.com
♫ Dark is the night
I can weather the storm
Never say die
I've been down this road before
I'll never quit
I'll never lay down, mm
See I promised myself that I'd never let me down
I'll never give up
Never give in
Never let a ray of doubt slip in
And if I fall
I'll never fail
I'll just get up and try again
Never lose hope
Never lose faith
There's much too much at stake
Upon myself I must depend
I'm not looking for place or show
I'm gonna win ♫

Diemen, the Netherlands.
July.
I would have never given up :)
You’re holding on
Dragging me down faster and faster
I want you to go away
My life is perfect
Well maybe to you
See it from my eyes
Walk in my shoes
My family’s great
Yes they’re grand
But I’m alone
No one’s holding my hand
I hate myself
How did I become this
This abomination
With scars on her wrists
I want to cry
But the tears don’t come
I’m stuck here
Always feeling numb
I lay on my bed
Words spill from my eyes
And they water
I’ve had all I can stand
Sure I’m happy
Or so I appear
But inside I’m dying
To get out of here
I need someone
To take my hand
And guide me through life
Though I’ve been damned
Just hold me close
Let me cry
Accept me as I am
And know I try
I don’t do this
For the attention
I’m hurting
I am my own abrasion

I did the above photo because i thought it would be cool . I didn't edit it coz i was lazy. Right now i could die for a hot chocolate. The quote was learnt from English class in school, don't know the exact words so not gonna bother writing it in quotations. Thanks Beccaaaa for the poem . I think it is . Well you all can perhaps make your own story on this.
I think i'm gonna be away from flickr for quite some time. Not starting today but starting some ...time this month ?!
"Did you give up?"
"I gave up"
This is number 8 for my secret series I got the idea for this yesterday or so.
Gave up on what? On trying to be perfect? Trying to be imperfect? Trying to be yourself? Trying to be someone else? Trying to miss someone? I won't tell you my idea on what I gave up. I want you to creat your own idea of it.
And if you are interested to know, at this very moment there's only two persons in the whole world who can be sure of what I mean by this.

Caring for my cats opened my eyes to the staggering costs and health issues associated with low-quality commercial pet food. But it also led me down an unexpected path of discovery about optimizing my own wellbeing. Prepare to be inspired.
This maybe like politics, religion or meat vs Vegan debates, it could also link back to climate change, but fact of the matter is that biology of pets (especially Cat is undisputed, they are born carnivores). Maybe we should limit on only licensed people can own and care for them?
However this post is on my journey to find the most biologically suited diet for them and lessons learnt and adopted due to insights gained.
Hope it will spark some thoughts and ideas and may play a small role to FixTheWorld.4Good.Space

Comments from the funbasket: Odd how doing the 365 really lets me track my days lately. (ok fine, loads of late uploads) and an absence here and there. I'm surprised I've continued this far, haha, but I really do enjoy documenting fragments of the journey. Inspiration comes and goes, but I see so many cool images on flickr I sometimes do a double blink in order to focus : ) I never gave it thought but by the time I finish it will be February of 2009! such a faraway date, it seems...wonder what I'll be up to then. (sighs.)

Were there no rain there would be little noise,
no rustle on the roof that we confuse
with our own bloodbeat on the inner ear,
no braided gurgle in the gutter, no breathing
within the tree whose shelved and supple bulk
sifts the rain to mist of small descents.
............................................. .......................................
Were there no rain the windowpanes
would never tick as if a spy outside,
who once conspired with us to ferret out
the secret code, the terms of full concord
with all that is and will be, were signalling
with a fingernail, I'm back,.........................

This is my LO for the 10th week of the 2008 Scrap Challenge, scrappers have to prepare a page about something which makes the difference in our routine.
I chose an old photo took for a photo challenge about "black and white", it represents two cups of milk and coffee.
Some parts of the shot are a bit dark, but obviously the words "milk" and "coffee" are respectively white and brown.
I wrote a very small journaling around the photo with these words "In the mornings I can't never give them up".
I used only a few decorations (a button, a metallic stuff and colored cardstock) because milk and coffee are basic for me, so I wanted to give the same sense to my page.
You can find all the details about the challenge in my new blog for scrapbooking (in English) at Juicy Creations, comments and suggestions are always very appreciated.

Not sure who own the copyright, it was my idea, words, iterations and chosen the central image and outpaint it and choose subsequent images square by square ... so I was 'actively' involved... but do I own the copyright legally ... spiritually and idea generations for sure.

For this I used a picture which I took a couple weeks ago. I took it through a window in which was some water..
You may start to wonder on what I shouldn't have given up. If you do start to wonder that I ask you not to try to figure it out. If I want you to know, if you are supposed to know, I think you already know.
Thank you.
