I’m so used to talking about the intimate details of my life to psychotherapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, mental health nurses or doctors suturing my wrists, that it hardly seems strange to be divulging this to an internet full of strangers.  

This blog is about things that make sense on the inside, when they don’t on the outside. I think too much, I indulge in my flaws and I’ll stand up for justice until it ruins me.

These are literally the pages of my diary. I do not post to glorify any part of my ‘illness’, behaviour or experiences, rather to seek comfort and support from those who understand, and perhaps can guide me on the path of recovery. I actively encourage all those suffering to seek treatment as I have.</description><title>The Girl who cried Woolf</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @thegirlwhocriedwoolf)</generator><link>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/4ce8f84456d2be47afa7a6b009b64ec7/tumblr_mkomc4OJut1qcqll6o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/47021424566</link><guid>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/47021424566</guid><pubDate>Thu, 04 Apr 2013 00:48:04 +1100</pubDate><category>drained</category></item><item><title>Pulled</title><description>&lt;p&gt;I am doing the &lt;em&gt;best&lt;/em&gt; that I possibly can.

&lt;p&gt;I am a toxic leech, incapable of doing anything. I can run, and I can eat, and I can sleep. I can weigh myself incessantly every hour and meticulously count every calorie. But beyond that, I am at a loss.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am an empty shell, staring into space. I am a silent onlooker, watching life fly by. I am a blank canvas, with potential ruined by passing time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am a lazy shit, who can’t get her act together and just write a stupid fucking simple essay. I can’t do anything I’m supposed to do, or want to do, or need to do to be the person I long to be.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am pathological and I am compulsive and I am addictive.&lt;br/&gt;This passive madness is horrifying.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/45992274410</link><guid>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/45992274410</guid><pubDate>Sat, 23 Mar 2013 01:48:55 +1100</pubDate><category>madness</category><category>procrastination</category><category>laziness</category><category>lazy</category><category>essay</category><category>uni</category><category>depression</category></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e56d36f44cf48417b62ad9d709cfc0e6/tumblr_mk2h2xRDt31qcqll6o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/45992205573</link><guid>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/45992205573</guid><pubDate>Sat, 23 Mar 2013 01:47:21 +1100</pubDate><category>identity</category><category>dissociation</category><category>laziness</category><category>procrastination</category></item><item><title>Girl at uni: Are you happy, Olivia?&#13;</title><description>Girl at uni: Are you happy, Olivia?&lt;br /&gt;&#13;

Like a rip tide that pulls you out to sea, gradually the shore recedes, until all at once you find yourself desolate and only, surrounded by nothing but the vast ocean.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After midnight, white noise fades into the gentle hum of cicadas. People succumb into slumber. Responsibilities fall away. And I am left all alone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I like the night. I like it’s peace. Here in the gentle hours of the dark is &lt;em&gt;breathing space&lt;/em&gt;. Sometimes I wonder if I subconsciously allow myself to stay up late just for this unrivalled tranquility.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/45198854873</link><guid>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/45198854873</guid><pubDate>Wed, 13 Mar 2013 04:40:59 +1100</pubDate><category>night</category><category>tranquility</category><category>breathing space</category><category>midnight</category><category>peace</category><category>introvert</category></item><item><title>Just doing some late night blogging with my cat.</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/777fb0c578f8e7d9a8f7d69d6d0cc595/tumblr_mjk4sn91Kc1qcqll6o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just doing some late night blogging with my cat.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/45196901497</link><guid>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/45196901497</guid><pubDate>Wed, 13 Mar 2013 04:05:11 +1100</pubDate><category>me</category><category>cat lady</category></item><item><title>A Smile and a Ribbon, Patience and Prudence</title><description>&lt;iframe class="tumblr_audio_player tumblr_audio_player_44785117963" src="http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/44785117963/audio_player_iframe/thegirlwhocriedwoolf/tumblr_mfpxwpFacd1qfoe7m?audio_file=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tumblr.com%2Faudio_file%2Fthegirlwhocriedwoolf%2F44785117963%2Ftumblr_mfpxwpFacd1qfoe7m" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" width="500" height="169"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;A Smile and a Ribbon, Patience and Prudence&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/44785117963</link><guid>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/44785117963</guid><pubDate>Fri, 08 Mar 2013 02:00:34 +1100</pubDate><category>a smile and a ribbon</category><category>bunheads</category></item><item><title>Chameleon, I</title><description>&lt;p&gt;I’ve come to realise that I am actually a boring person. In particular, conversationally. I can’t entertain, I don’t enthrall, and I’m not interesting. I’m just generally not all that fun to be around. Not like I used to be. It’s no wonder people don’t ask me over or invite me places; they don’t want to hang out with me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Years of sadness and many more of nothing but forced conversations with doctors about me, myself and I, have ruined me. It’s like I’ve lost all ability to think on a normal level and connect with functional human beings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What is a chameleon when she is without a defining tide? What happens if there is nothing to reflect? What is a chameleon when she is alone? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is quite a sad revelation.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/44372167643</link><guid>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/44372167643</guid><pubDate>Sun, 03 Mar 2013 02:10:41 +1100</pubDate><category>sad</category><category>people</category><category>boring person</category><category>uninteresting</category><category>normal</category><category>chameleon</category><category>bland</category><category>beige</category></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e9b197bd37ef7fca22bb0758b424066c/tumblr_mfhwy3VaM71qfhwwmo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/44372083522</link><guid>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/44372083522</guid><pubDate>Sun, 03 Mar 2013 02:09:11 +1100</pubDate><category>boring</category><category>faceless</category><category>boring person</category></item><item><title>Saw Angela Lansbury in the opening night of ‘Driving Miss...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1edc80ef04d463f8bfae6160dc96c448/tumblr_mj18sk9NJ61qcqll6o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Saw Angela Lansbury in the opening night of ‘Driving Miss Daisy’, tickets courtesy of my uni.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/44364692112</link><guid>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/44364692112</guid><pubDate>Sat, 02 Mar 2013 23:17:00 +1100</pubDate><category>angelalansbury</category><category>music theatre</category><category>play</category><category>theatre</category></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/30ae8f698955869fb54e3a89f1ebb4ce/tumblr_mizl1p8zwm1qcqll6o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/44294598751</link><guid>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/44294598751</guid><pubDate>Sat, 02 Mar 2013 01:46:37 +1100</pubDate><category>dissociation</category></item><item><title>Lately, it’s like the world is out of focus.

&lt;p&gt;I’m more of a shell, a cocoon of my conscious self, but I’m not really there. Or maybe it’s that I’ve crawled too far into myself and now I’m stuck inside.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My mind is in Elsewhere while my body&amp;#8217;s on autopilot. I’m looking, but I&amp;#8217;m not seeing. I&amp;#8217;m hearing, but I’m not listening. I’m responding, but not digesting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is this tiredness or dissociation? Laziness or depression?&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/44294510857</link><guid>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/44294510857</guid><pubDate>Sat, 02 Mar 2013 01:44:00 +1100</pubDate><category>tired</category><category>tiredness</category><category>exhaustion</category><category>dissociation</category><category>depression</category><category>cocoon</category><category>out of focus</category></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/206bdf71cc536783fe257ae7a2fa88bf/tumblr_mizktfwL861qcqll6o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/44294409205</link><guid>http://thegirlwhocriedwoolf.tumblr.com/post/44294409205</guid><pubDate>Sat, 02 Mar 2013 01:41:39 +1100</pubDate><category>blurry</category><category>blur</category><category>out of focus</category><category>dissociation</category></item><item><title>"Do you take pride in your hurt?
