I Will Post Something I Am Grateful For Each DayI am grateful for having people that care about me, and knowing that I'll always have someone to talk to if I'm feeling sad.
I Think I Am Just Going To Write StuffI was just looking at the last text that he sent me, because that was the day where things got out of control. His last message was an apology... well, an apology for him. It said, 'Did you get to your place safely?' It's crazy to look at the date...See More »
I Have Been AbusedI'm now going through the anger phase of dealing with all of this. After I had finally taken a stand and called the police on him, I felt relieved. Like, I loved myself again, and strong. I was happy. About two weeks ago, the depression started to...See More »

I Will Post Something I Am Grateful For Each DayI'm grateful that I had people to talk to here on EP when I was at a really low point last night. You all helped me get through the night, feeling supported and you had great advice. Thanks everyone!
I Have Changed Clothes In the CarNot really sure why this is a group. Is this not a normal thing to do? I feel like most people have done this at least once in their lives.
I Will Post Something I Am Grateful For Each DayI'm grateful that I had a long conversation with my mom today and I didn't snap on her like I usually do, even though she was criticizing me most of the time. I think I've finally accepted that that's just the way she is, and I still love her.
I Think I Am Just Going To Write StuffWARNING: Don't read this unless you feel like hearing about my crappy feelings. I completely apologize for writing so many sad stories lately. This was supposed to be my place to be uplifted and empowered, sharing inspiring and thought-provoking...See More »
I Battle DepressionUgh... I hate to admit it, but it's back. I've been doing so good now, for nearly two years, but after the traumatizing ending of my last relationship, I'm left terrified, anxious, and just "low" in general. It's not that I want him back. I...See More »
I Need to Work On My Self EsteemThis is so embarrassing for me to post and to admit. It's crazy how the world can alter your reflection, and in the end you find yourself looking at a distorted picture of yourself, mainly focused on the flaws. I love myself. Currently, that...See More »
I Believe There Is a Need For ArtYesterday I went to the release party for a local zine that publishes poetry. The topic was Love and Outrage. I initially intended to stay in my bed all day, but I decided this was something I needed to see. So I crawled out of bed, got ready, and...See More »
I Have ChangedI'm slowly getting over being the victim of a physically abusive relationship. I've cycled through so many emotions since then, it's hard to even be sure of who I am anymore. Lately I've been angry and sad, fearful, depressed, anxious, pensive,...See More »
I Have Been AbusedI have been dealing with this fact trepidatiously for the past week. Some days I'll be fine and others I'll feel like yelling at the world. I'm angry, and not even at him. Some days I'll just start crying. Nothing triggers it but the pain I feel when...See More »
I Crank the Stereo Way Up When I'm DrivingOkay, I have a confession... Nothing gets me going in the morning quite like blasting the most atrocious pop music in my car on the way to work! The lyrics are typically not too inventive, and the beats are repetitive, lacking distinguishable...See More »
I Think Failed Relationships Change PeopleAfter my last relationship, I learned that I needed to love myself more. I was going into relationships, believing that finding that other person would complete me somehow. Even society endorses this idea with terms like "your other half" or "the...See More »
I Am a Fashion DesignerThis group is pretty sad. It's called "I am a fashion designer" not "I want to be a fashion designer"!... When I stumbled upon my 18th year of life, and had to decide my future, I went off to college to pursue a different degree. Although I was also...See More »
I Cried Over The Death Of A Fictional Character*SPOILERS* Not going to lie... and this is so embarrassing. I had the biggest crush on James Franco in high school, so when the third Spiderman movie came out and his character's face gets burnt off in the end (doesn't even die), I totally started...See More »
I Am Not Everyones Cup Of TeaI'm pretty much everyone's cup of tea, but that's because they don't really know me. Under my candy-coated exterior, I'm actually quite tart. I enjoy dry sarcasm. I'm a realist (although I wish I were more optimistic at times), and I kind of have a...See More »
I Want To Find Someone That Is Fun To Chat WithI'm not sure what my definition of "fun" is in this instance. I guess I'd just like someone that is open to hearing my views and maybe doesn't always agree, but is willing to listen anyways. I don't take time to tell people about myself aside from on...See More »
I Am Attracted to Intelligent GuysIt's really strange. The guy has to be intelligent, otherwise I'm just not sexually attracted to him. However, I seem to have this thing about control, so maybe it's the 'battle-of-wits" that gets me going.
I Will Tell You Ten Things About Me10 things is a lot... 1. I love to hear other people's stories, but hate talking about myself. 2. I grew up in a Christian home, but I'm no longer a Christian. 3. I am passionate in relationships, I'm either all in, or I'm out. 4. I can't cook. 5. I...See More »
I Have Been Told I Look Like Someone FamousExcept it's never someone I want to look like, or even anyone remotely the same looking as me. I've gotten Oprah, Tina Turner, Beyonce, Rihanna, and Keke Palmer... just because I'm black, doesn't mean I look like all other black women. :(
