If you really knew me: you would know that my past still haunts me, and there are secrets that a lot of people dont know.

If you really knew me: you would know that my life isnt as nice as it seems.

If you really knew me: you would know that I might come off as though im really confident, but in reality im extremely insecure.

If you really knew me: you would know that when I was in elementary and middle school the boys used to call me "heifer", and now I have a huge fear of gaining weight. You would know that I think about my weight everyday, and even though in most peoples eyes im skinny, I still think im fat, and need to drop some pounds.

If you really knew me: you would know that after he took advantage of me, my life has never been the same. You would know that it takes a lot for me to trust, and im afraid of it happening again.

If you really knew me: you would know that the huge random scars on my legs, arent from what I say there from. You would know that most of the marks on my body have been self inflicted, and you would know that I have struggled with self harm for over five years.

If you really knew me: you would know that my mom, isnt the nice person everyone makes her out to be. You would know that she puts on a front, to make her seem like shes a good person, and you would know that ive had to deal with both emotional, and physical abuse from her on more than one occasion.

If you really knew me: you would know that I lost all my friends from high school, and now I barely talk to anyone.

If you really knew me: you would know that even though you might not notice, I suffer from a bad case of OCD. You would know that it affects my everyday activities, and makes things a lot more difficult to accomplish.

If you really knew me: you would know that I am not as strong as I may come off. You would know that im actually a very sensitive, and emotional person. And you would know that, even the littlest comment could put me down.

If you really knew me: you would know that im not a goodie two shoes like people may think.

If you really knew me: you would know that even though I might look okay, I used to have a sucide plan to how I would end my life. You would know that I wanted to crash my car, at high speed, into a stationary object. And you would know that everyday I was afraid to even drive to school because I wasnt sure if I would ever make it.

If you really knew me: You would know that I am dealing with a virual disease, which happens to be HPV. You would know that I want to help others become aware of this disease, and help prevent them from getting it, but im afraid to tell people. And you would know that I feel people will judge me, and think im a disgusting person, because I have a STD.

If you really knew me: You would know that even though I say im glad to be graduated from high school, I secretly miss it. You would know, that all four years the only two people I had that truely pulled me through were my math teacher, and my guidance counselor. And you would know, that I miss the relationships I had with them, that were so dear to my heart.

If you really knew me: you would know that you really have no idea who the real me is.

AND if you really knew me: you would know that this is only the beginning, to an endless amount of issues.

What I've learned is that there is no one person that is capable of understanding you, equally or more than yourself. No matter how similar you may be, there will always be differences; to understand, it is not enough to know from the mind, but more importantly by intuition - the essence of an experience. Reading your post, we can attempt to understand, but we are all biased and somewhere along the way will fall short of a perfect comprehension of your words.

Nonetheless, I hope it helped you to just write this out. One thing I'm sure many of us can relate to is the frustration of being alone in the path of our struggles - which is true to a great extent. We are all unique.

Finding someone who genuinely makes an effort to understand is still so comforting, though. At times, even that is rare. I hope you have people like that in your life, or if not, that you are able to find them. If you ever need someone to just talk to, I am always here. :hug3:
