I've been avoiding posting here for the past few weeks. Mainly because every time I sit down to write about sex, I'm reminded that I haven't actually been having it lately. For the past two weeks I've been extremely emotional. I think it has to do with the amount of ecstasy I took at this party the Saturday before Halloween. I ate six pills throughout the night and then snorted several more (through a tampon applicator, as one incriminating photo would indicate). I hadn't done ecstasy in like seven years, and never so much at one time. The fallout from that was brutal.
The following Tuesday, my mental state was grim, and I wasn't doing too much better physically, either. My head was pounding all day long and in the evening I vomited twice. But what really fucked me up was the incessant sobbing. Hour and hours of sobbing. I don't cry very often. I try to avoid it as much as possible. So when I do cry, it's bad. What's worse is that the sobbing fits were triggered by a recent breakup. With a boy. Whom I loved very much. I had ignored my feelings about it for like a month, always pushing it to the back of my brain, convincing myself that I was too busy to think about it or deal with it. And to be honest, I was, so that was working out for me. But I think the ecstasy uncorked all of the shit I had bottled up, and having been shaken, I exploded.
It may seem as though I'm an open book, since I tend to be frank about a lot of things that, for most people, are unmentionable. But in actuality, I'm really deliberate when it comes to what I choose to disclose. For me, talking about physical stuff is exactly the same as what it involves—it's skin, it's just surface. It's important, but it's not entirely me, only one small part. I've been very careful not to discuss, in depth, the relationship I'd been having, mainly because emotions are a bummer. Even at their best, emotions sorta suck. Right? Like, does anyone really want to hear how absolutely happily in love another person is? It's just irritating.
But now I'm miserable. And my misery is intensified by the fact that I'm finding it difficult to be attracted to other people, and can't bring myself to bring anyone home with me. In the past, I'd always handled my breakups by drowning my sorrows in other dudes' cum.
