  • We went out today and returned to find Daisy hiding in the kitchen. She was fine when we left, but since we got back she’s reluctant to move and stiffens when her lower back is touched. She’s injured it in the past and acted like this, but she doesn’t seem to be in pain as of now, but it’s so hard to tell. I hate seeing animals in pain 🙁

  • I’m happy to report that Snakepaw’s dad is doing fine. He just got out of surgery a few days ago and it went well 🙂

I’ve been praying a lot for her so thank you to everybody that did and for all the hugs because I was freaking out sO mUCH. I think she’s doing better now (at least from what I’ve seen) and I’m just really happy about all of this so yay thanks you guys

  • I have an eating disorder. I haven’t eaten for a long time because I’m just not hungry. I know it’s really not good for me to do it but I can’t help not eating since I don’t feel hungry. 🙁

    • I used to do that too… 🙁 I would black out and get dizzy sometimes so I really recommend that you eat and drink even if you don’t feel like you need to. I just started eating more often and now I’m fine (I would think that if I ate to much I would get fat but you won’t if you’re careful of what you’re eating). Now I feel much better, it’s amazing what a little food can do!

      Good luck! 🙂

    • Oh, try eating on a regular basis as hard as you can, so you don’t starve yourself, even if you don’t feel hungry. Hopefully this helps. Also if you haven’t already talk to a doctor or something, because they most likely know more about this stuff then I do.

    • The digestive system is really sluggish so when it stops working it’s hard to get it started again. Just take it in moderation. Eat something small one day and then keep eating gradually more until you’re used to it. And have you talked to anyone about your eating disorder? It really would help if you do. It sounds easier than it is but don’t let your insecurities win. As long as you love yourself that’s all that matters. Anyone that tells you differently is not worth listening to. But there’s nothing wrong with wanting to be thinner. You just do what makes you happy.

    • Eating disorders are the worst. The healthiest thing would be to eat frequent, small, nutritional meals throughout the day. And drink water!

    • Aw. *huggles* Just try to eat when you can and make sure not to starve yourself. If you think you’ll get fat, remember that you won’t and it is normal to need to eat.

    • Once I was prescribed a medication that had a side effect of causing me to not be as hungry. My parents made me drink a “breakfast shake” every morning so that I would get proper nutrients in case I didn’t eat enough at mealtimes. It was milk mixed with a protein powder that came in different flavors (chocolate malt, french vanilla, and strawberry I think). It was called Carnation Instant Breakfast. They actually didn’t taste that bad — sort of like a liquidy milkshake. You’ll get through this, Breezey.

    • Aww I had a beetle like that. I named it Amberclaw. Aww sweet memories I’m so sorry about your beetle, many people think of them as icky bugs or something, but if you study them they actally have a real personality! I’m so sorry again!

      • I know! People look at me weird when I talk about Cotton Candy, my pink female betta fish, but she had a unique personality! Whenever I stared at her in her tank, she raced to the glass and started poking at it and swimming around excitedly. And, when I put peas in her tank she played with them and tried to catch them before the peas hit the floor.

  • I feel like I should tell you guys, since you all weree so encouraging when I was getting bullied. They don’t anymore!
    I don’t have any classes with the boy who called me morbid, and the girls are leaving me alone. Things are so much better. Thank you guys for all the support you gave. But, I have something I need help with.

    A friend is cutting, and I don’t know what to do. I really want to help her, I want her to know she’s loved, but I don’t even know why she’s cutting. How do I help her?

    Reply

    • That’s amazing! I’m glad everything fell into place. 🙂 My advice is to talk to your friend and let her know you care about her feelings. You could also try and help him/her find an alternative to cutting, like drawing or dancing. Hope this helps! *hugs* <3

        • You’re welcome. I’m sure she’ll realize how bad is for her soon. For now, you can try to persuade her but remember it’s her decision. 🙂

    • I’m glad the bullies have left you alone 🙂

      Tell your friend to realize that cutting is not healthy for her body or her mind. Once she comes to terms with this, stick with her and help her find an alternative to cutting.

      • I’m glad to, thnx!

        I really have tried, but she doesn;t listen, she just shrugs, and then days later, there’s a whole new set.

    • I have a friend that cuts, and I know how you feel. I’ve often been in the same place as you too, wondering why she is doing it. First off, just telling them to ‘stop cutting’ or ‘be happy’ will more than likely offend them. It’s very, very hard to stop cutting and it’s often not done without some therapy. Your friend may be depressed and going through some things in life, suffering from a mental disorder, both maybe.

      Did you see the cuts or did she tell you she was? If you saw them then she might become offended if you ask directly about them (at least, my friend would. everybody’s different). Just let her know you’re there for her, and that you are somebody she can talk to. You can talk to her parents about it so she can start getting therapy. I know she might be a bit upset with you for telling them, but it will help her in the long run. Trust me, you really don’t want it to get the the point where she contemplates suicide. It’s very scary.

      When you’re in that state it’s impossible to believe anybody really cares for you. People will tell you they do but you’re not going to believe it. You’ll think they’re faking so no to hurt your feelings or that they just don’t like you at all. Everybody hates you. Make it clear to her that you love her and that you’re always going to do the best you can to help her through this.

      For my final word of advice, check with a school counselor or something on this. I think my advice is pretty sound, but remember that I’m in middle school and I’m not going to be as wise as somebody that is older and trained in counseling. You can ask them and tell them about your friend, and if you want to keep your friend’s privacy then just say you want to keep her name hidden. Ask them what to do and they’ll give you some sound advice.

      I’m so sorry she’s going through that Silverpaw, and I’ll be praying for her and you. *hugs*

      • I really have tried. She wanted to know why I cared so much, and I told her my sister used to cut, before she ran away, and that I loved her and cared about her ( my friend) I didn’t want her to hurt at all. Her eyes kinda widened, and she hugged me, and I hugged her, and told her I love her a lot, that I don’t want her hurt, but I don’t know how to make her stop. I don’t want her to think I’m trying to shove my feelings onto her, but I didn’t know what to tell her. It’s kinda hard.

        And I know I should tell someone, but it doesn;t always work! My sister had a friend who wouldn’t eat, and when she got help, she just kinda hid her food in her cup or something. It didn’t help her at all! What have you done so far?

        • I know it doesn’t always work, my friend got therapy and she still has a lot of problems today. She says it kind of helped but it made her feel bad about her issues, like she was mentally insane and needed special treatment. You’re not going to be able to get your friend to stop cutting, and I had to deal with that when I found out my friend was. You’re doing a great job just being there for her, trust me. Not many people understand this subject very well, as it’s touchy and it’s not talked about a whole lot.

          I love my friend a whole lot and I’ve talked about her here too, I’m worried sick about her 99 percent of the time because I’m afraid she’ll do something stupid. But she lives hours away from me and my mom doesn’t allow me to talk to her anymore, but I was still able to let her know I loved her. Just letting your friend know that means more to her than I think you realize. You’re doing a great job already, Silverpaw, and I’ll continue praying for you guys *hugs*

    • Yay!!

      About your friend, just make sure her parents know about it is all I can suggest. I have a friend who cuts as well, so I know how you feel. Don’t mention cutting, but try to get her into alternative actives that will take her mindoff of it. Good luck, I hope everything goes well 💜

      • I’ve really never MET her parents. I know she has a rocky relationship with them. I don’t know if it’ll help. Is there anything you do for your friend? Oh, and that not mentioning thing may actually work, thank you!

        Thanks for caring about the bullying thing. 🙂

        • Sorry for not seeing this earlier. With regards to my friend, there was a bit of a fall out at school, where everyone found out, including the principal. It was terrible, but at least I knew responsible adults knew about the issue. Is there anyone older than you that your friend trusts? Maybe try telling your own patents? My advice is just make sure at least one adult who can do something for your friend knows about the issue 😀

          Reply

    • I’m glad they aren’t bullying you anymore. Maybe some advice I would give to you about your friend is to be there for her and as other people have said, try to convince her that there are alternatives to cutting. Just know that when she’s recovering it will might take a long time and be hard for her, so if you can be there for her that would be great.

      Also, you could try talking to someone like a parent who can help her more, but I don’t know. I hope your friend will be okay

      • Thank you!

        I’ll try, but it hurts me when she does that. I know it sounds selfish, but I wonder if maybe she thinks I don’t love her, or that maybe I’m not enough. I know it’s stupid, it’s not like I’m her sister, or mom, or lover or something, or even her bestest best friend, who should have persuesive power over that kinda stuff, but I don’t know what to do. I really try to tell her I love her all the time. I want her to be happy, and I don;t know how to make her happy. You’r right, I should be patient. I’ll try to find an alternative. Thanks!

    • I’m glad your bullying has gone down. For your friend, this is very serious and you need to acknowledge she’s dealing with something serious and important right in front of her. Show her that you care about her by listening to her problems and trying to be comforting. Then go and tell a trusted adult (counselor, teacher, parent, etc.) what is happening to your friend as quickly as possible.

    • Oh no! Tell her she is AMAZING and that is extremely true! Try to make her happy! Get her into something she will enjoy 😀

  • Say…

    I’ve been wondering if I had a problem with mood swings for some time now, but I’m not sure if it should be checked out. I mean, it’s normal for people to have extreme mood swings during puberty, right? But is it normal for people to get mad enough to essentially vandalize your cousin’s bedroom during puberty?

    Reply

    • Yeah, pretty much xD I get so furious with my siblings and the entire week I’m a huge grumpy thing. Just do things that calm you down, like going on BlogClan! :DDD It actually helps, I draw when I’m feeling especially moody.

    • Puberty is an evil demon that posseses our body and makes us do strange things. Signs of possesion include acne, mood swings, sweat and body hair. Puberty demons are usually exorcisized after a few years of inhabiting a body, although your body and mind will suffer noticeable changes from the puberty demons. They never truly escape us.

    • I’ve become wayyyyyy more grumpy because of Pubertydemon! Just ask the people who’ve seen me bad-mooded on the wiki!

      BAD-MOODED? ME? BAHAHAHAHAHHAH

      yeaaaaa

      that was sarcasm

      meh

    • Well, depends. Did your cousin do anything to you? I’m not really a professional, but everyone has their different “levels” of moods. Maybe you are just a very emotional person (no offense if you aren’t, just saying because I am and It gives me trouble sometimes)
