My Diary

This is a diary of my struggles and hopefully my sucess, I was advised to make a diary, to set goals and monitor myself. Another reason i have discovered that "Getting it off my chest" and sharing it with others, whomever you are, where ever you are and whatever you are, seems to help me calm and feel a little less weighted.

I figured id also make it public so that others like me who understand and those who are intrested from an educational point of view can follow my progress. the first few posts will be copied from my own handwritten diary but afterwards it will be updated on a daily basis. Please bear in mind that I am gay, and do refer to my partner in this blog quite often, if your sensibilities are offended by such things I'd advise not reading or just selectivly read.

General backstory is this; 5 years ago I suffered from acute agoraphobia and anxiety and it was conquered with the help of my then new partner Dan, who has been rock beneath my feet since. 7 months ago I had a nervous breakdown, my partner being one of the causes, his work keeps him from me often and our sex life has been non existant pretty much, his own confidence and esteem not so good, i began having thoughts that he was cheating (he's not, ive checked etc) my own thoughts of "Am I Good Enough" or "Im Ugly" etc etc, coupled with family and work stress which had been an ongoing thing I just collapsed, there was self harm and suiside attempts (not very sucessful which tells you its more the pain im focussed on inflicting) My agoraphobia is back to haunt me and i did what any good depressant did, I stopped paying bills and burried my head in the sand, i have an eviction notice and the council is moving so slow its unreal and i feel like i want to just end it.

My History Age 16 to 19

My Years 16-19, Continued from 1-16

Roger didnt leave our lives til around january 2002, we actually met his ex girlfriend and the girl who accused him of sexual rape, who later became a good friend of mine, and her mother became more like an aunt, Max never knew his father, and to be perfectly honest, the child deserves better than to be associated to that man.

Early 2001 late 2000, i became the model gay guy, VERY promiscuous, i hated myself and everything about me, the only feelings of self worth was my physical attractivness to others, and their desire to have intimate relations of the one night stand variety, which, my modesty prevents me from being big headed but i had my pick of guys. Mid 2001 i met Ed, a student teacher who ended up being my partner for 18 months, i didnt want it to last that long, he was very feminine and looking back i needed strong masculinity to help me find my sexual identity, but i was too much ashamed of ending it and didnt want to face that, so i continued to be promiscuous, and im ashamed to say i had earned a reputation by then.

I delved into some pretty hardcore drugs, i managed to hide much of my self loathing to the outside, but much in the gay community is all about Sex, i just wanted friends, people i could relate to and could talk to, but most of them just saw one thing, in the end i just became a sexual desire for alot of people, instead of being seen as i desperately needed to be, a young lad in pain who very much needed a gay friend who understood him, im 26 now and i still dont have one.

I got into debt, spent alot of my time drunk, when i was not working i was meeting people in all sorts of places for "Fun", and im ashamed to say it but i couldnt even estimate how many i had been with by the time i was 18 it was easily in the hundreds.

My self worth was pretty much non existant, i eventually broke up with Ed when i hit 19, played around with a few less than reputable people, very nearly got into prostitution because of it, i was still into stealing, sometimes id go home with a drunk guy and empty his wallet, because if i didnt, those less than reputable people would do things to me i dont dare describe.
