Very terrible coincidence. However there is no tornado watch or warning up and tornadoes are very rare in my state, especially in tight suburbs where I am. It really wouldn’t have much space to gather strength and touch down. The storm is already moving out anyway.

Otherwise I am feeling a bit depressed today. I have self harm urges but as long as I hold my unicorn they aren’t very strong. I’m recriminating myself again for the choice and volume of food I ate at the fair. Yesterday I also ate poorly. I haven’t had much of an appetite today but I am forcing myself to eat regular small snacks and lunch because if I don’t I will get so hungry later that I won’t be able to make good choices.

I also feel like I don’t really belong in the group I’m in. Not that I don’t need it, more like I don’t seem to have the connections with people like the other group members do. I don’t usually let my stone cold heart make connections with people anyway but it would be nice even if we don’t stay in touch. There’s one woman I connect with because I understand her feelings of anxiety and paranoia but I don’t know if it’s returned. I don’t suppose it really matters, we’re all there for ourselves anyway right?
I'm glad the storms were moving out.. I use to love Storms. But we got hit really bad here years back and now I panic..

Back when I first needed IP's I tended to find " friend types" numerous I kept in touch with and still do on Facebook, (Well I had to unfriend and block a few They were what I call emotional vampires) But I started to realize that really trying to help someone out because I went through X before. But it wasn't helping myself to get better, more stable. So for the longest time now I really keep to myself and focus on what I need. I always take a book, Usually one that I have read over and over because I can't focus.

There is nothing wrong with focusing on yourself
