Up and down day. I managed to sleep from around 11pm last night to 11am this morning without waking up ONCE which was AMAZING. And when I woke up all the pressure and pain around my sinuses had virtually disappeared. I just had a sort of stuffy headache and a very bad cough that made me sound like an old man. But that was cool because every time I coughed I could feel my stomach muscles working. Is that fucked up? Probably.
Then at like 3pm I went on facebook just to check notifications, etc. And guess what. The bitch is back. You know how Rebecca disappeared off the face of the earth for five months? Fb account deleted, number changed, etc. No trace. She had mother fricking got a new account. I was so weirded out. I looked on her new page and she's added virtually everyone we know, except for us, her actual 'friends'. In her new profile picture, her face looked very thin but she didn't look particularly good per se which made me feel vaguely better about everything.
I was half-expecting pink hair, or 6 stone.
I hate how it's like this. I wish she didn't have this effect on me, making me feel scared and self-dubious and anxious and angry and hurt and yet ensorcelled all at once. I know im getting overly worked up about it. But that's what happens. One tiny movement from her and we all over-analyse to the max. What can one expect? I hear they call this 'ambiguous loss'. She died, but she didn't really die.
So that shook me up. I ended up bingeing on toast. Plate after plate after plate of it. All of my friends are out celebrating Bash's 18th and I feel so horribly left out. I can't go out and have fun. I can't drink. I can't smoke. I can't feel pretty or happy or sexy because I'm ill, and now obese from sitting at home eating all day long. I can't even leave my house for a walk because I feel dizzy 24/7 from all the meds. I'm sick of being sick.
I actually saw 139 on the scales this morning but I'm now convinced it was a fluke, as now when I step on I'm around 144.
Fuck that.
Oh and anyone who wants to know more about Rebecca - watch this film called 'My Summer of Love' starring Emily Blunt. Her character, 'Tasmin', who is like the embodiment of the poor little rich girl, could be based on Rebecca easily. Manipulative, deceitful, beautiful and spoilt, she leaves a trail of destruction everywhere she goes.

I hope you feel better soon! I'm intrigued about Rebecca so I'm going to find that film and watch it :) From your description she sounds like someone I know who I've since cut out of my life xx
ReplyDeleteYour body must be needing the food if you're bingeing on toast! Just focus on getting better, and then let the drama ensue!
ReplyDeleteI will have to check it out. You do sound shook up and I am not use to hearing that. This girl must be a piece of work from the sound of it.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness you are still sick. So is one of my friends here. She has been out from work all week. I was like jesus. I wonder what it is that is going around.
12 hours sleep! I am so jealous. I would kill for that amount of sleep.
ReplyDeleteRebecca sounds like one of my 'friends'. The ability they have to effect you is crazy. Feel better soon. Being ill sucks. x
Wow, I love the word "ensorcelled"! I don't think I've ever used it, but it's now my new favourite (because I have a collection of favourite words, doesn't everyone?). It's perfectly apt, and I know how hard it must be for you to discover that she's back. It would help if she weren't a total bitch, but I guess some people just don't change. Please don't get caught up in her contemptuous charm - she doesn't deserve you as a friend, or in any other way. You're infinitely better, and she's gone.
ReplyDeleteI'm also quite jealous of the sleep you've been able to get; hopefully, it'll be restorative for you! And then you'll be out of the house and feeling pretty and happy and sexy. Because you are, all of it.
Love you always,
<3.
