Promiscuous? Damaged? Scared.

My mood has been CRAPPY and CONFUSING today and yesterday. I feel, I don't know, dirty? Here's why: Well the ex asked me out, and of course I said yes because I really like him, and am so pleased to be back with him. BUT I CAN'T GET THE FLING FROM THE HOLIDAY OUT OF MY HEAD. He's invited me and my friends up to Brighton and I really want to go (not for romance, although I know I would be tempted). I keep thinking about him and I don't know why! We both agreed it was only physical, no strings attached.

See I read that paragraph back and it makes me sad. I never thought I would be a one night girl, and now I love them. They've made me scared of relationships, because emotions and boys don't seem like a safe mix. Basically I'm scared. All these confusing negative thoughts have caused a two day binge (no purges) which have been making me feel even more negative.

I need to GET OUT OF MY HOUSE. I feel so trapped here. I want to escape. Do something. But everything seems to cost money which I don't have.

So, questions:
1. Any suggestions of things I can do on a low budget?
2. How do I get over fear of commitment/ trust issues?



ps Thank you for the amazing comments, I love each and every one of you.

When I've been strapped for cash I've gone to a coffee shop to get some cheap tea and sit and read. It sounds really boring, but it can be really nice.

As for the fear of commitment/trust issues, I'm not sure. Maybe it just takes time and good experiences to reassure you.

Wishing you well,

Well done for not purging. It's hard when you are stuck inside with not much to do, and I know this made binge purging more likely for me.

Like you said in your comment to me - art galleries are a good free outing. Maybe look in your local paper to see if there is anything going on in your area to go and see/do. Walk a new route, or do what I'm currently doing - make and write your Christmas cards haha!

As for relationships I'm still a bit clueless myself, but I can imagine that it feels much harder (and more risky) to commit emotionally than physically to someone. As Dana says, you are only young - there's plenty of time to figure things out.

Wow. Marathon comment!

I either go to a coffee shop and have coffee and then go looking around the shops. Trying on clothes I will never buy and looking at stuff I will never buy. I also love going to libraries, even if I don't check out a book, I sometimes hop on a computer and surf the net or just sit and watch people go buy outside somewhere. I take my camera and photograph nature or anything that comes to mind or I try and come up with creative ideas for cards and now my new venture into drawing. I hope you find something to do, boredom sucks and I really am glad you didn't purge, well done!
*hugs*

Don't know where you are but sometimes there are free concerts or plays in the park. We have a "Shakespeare" in the park thing going on now. The museum/art gallery thing is fun too.

Or maybe volunteer at a local animal shelter. Or just go there and pet the puppies or cats. Of course you have to be careful you don't take one home.
