It__ hard to feel supported when you can__ tell people everything. People haven__ really got a clue what it__ like. It__ hard to trust anyone. It__ hard to believe people won__ let you down. I__ feeling like I want to cry. My body feels hollow. Empty. I don__ feel like I__ 17. I feel young. I__ not sure how old, maybe about 10 yrs. It__ hard to accept that I can__ get all the support I need from one person. From any person. It__ hard that no one can fully understand. It__ hard for me to admit that inside I feel a really lonely person. What do I need to do to take care of myself right now? Well I need to cuddle my teddies _ it sounds silly, but I need some comfort... I was still cuddling teddies when I should have been cuddling boys. The sick imagery in my mind, rather than making me sexually active, had closed that door completely.
