Anonymous asked: there is a guy i like and give him all the time in the world, he says hes always busy and always has an excuse why he doesnt pay attention to me, sometimes i have gone days without him speaking to me.... is he worth the trouble to even fight for?
Anonymous asked: Do you think someone can be a Christian but still be attracted to girls? Like, I still think of guys like oh he's cute and he's sexy, but when I think about sexual things with a guy it's just kinda disgusting to me, but when I think about them with a girl they're not disgusting. Am I a lesbian? What's wrong with me? Ugh, I'm so confused!!!!

Anonymous asked: I love your blog alot. I think what your doing is really awesome. I just have some advice. I feel like some of your answers are great but I feel like you need to put more emotion into them.

It took every bit of emotional strength not to go in the bathroom and shove my finger down my throut. I did that everyday. If I can overcome something like an eating disorder, so can you. -Lex

Anonymous asked: Female. 15 years old. About a week ago I told my mom about my suicidal thoughts. She started yelling at me and calling me selfish and told me if I want to kill myself just do it already so she won't have to keep wondering when I'm going to do it.
