I FAIL. *sliceslice*
I left Blue Lake, like, six days early. And I really hate myself for it.

I needed to, though, for health reasons.

Last night, I had the worst panic attack in months. Or, rather, the ONLY panic attack in months. And it was a really bad one. I scared all the girls in the cabin, and they were crying and freaking out, and this morning they didn't talk and nobody looked at me. I don't think I've ever felt more guilty in my life.

And it was the best year at camp, too. My teachers were wonderful and knew what they were doing, my Unit Director and the councilors were fantastic (one of them was a Snape/Harry fanfic writer, and has fantastic pron!fics <3), my councilor was the sweetest thing since Pixy Sticks, the girls in the cabin were some of the nicest girls I've ever met in my life, and my class thought I was really talented, and I was rather popular. I liked feeling important. I was important.

And then my STUPID ******** BODY had to go and freak out.

I don't blame my body, though. Not really. It was over 100 degrees fahreinheit outside, and I had to walk five miles every day, AND I only got four hours of sleep each night. And I ran out of bottled water. (The water isn't safe to drink at camp. It tastes like eggs and makes my stomach act up like OHSHIT.) It's a small wonder that it didn't freak out earlier.

But I'm still mad that I couldn't stick it out for SIX MORE DAYS.

I'm such a ******** loser.

I had people that I cared about, and they cared about me a great deal, too, and I couldn't even stick it out for them.

I fail at life.

    Aw that is a damn shame but you can't blame yourself for it.
    Hope you're feeling better now heart

    Honey, you shouldn't blame yourself for that! A lot of people have panic attacks for no reason, and it's not their fault either. If you'd have stayed you'd have probably become dehydrated, too. Since you ran out of bottled water. But isn't there a way you can go back with more water and when you're well rested?

    I can't help but blame myself. If I had done more to protect myself, I could have stayed.

    But I'm feeling a little better, but not much more.

    And there's no way I can go back. I live three and a half hours away from camp. And if I continue to be sleep-deprived and malnourished, that could cause serious problems.

    Awww....poor Ala. I'm so sorry. You didn't really want to go, but then it turned out really good. I'm so sorry this had to happen. I am SO coming to visit you when i get back from NY, but I wish I could see you now. -hugs- Feel better, okay?

    I'm sorry Ala!

    I hate being sick while camping, I think I'm brining everyone else down and holding them back from having fun. But it you cant controll what your body feels like doing to you....
    I'm glad your feeling better 3nodding

    Thank you, lovelies.

    I really want to see you, Brinny, and I really really miss you, too. I'll try to feel better. I just think it may take a while. *hughugkiss*

    But this was something I could semi-control. If I could have been more prepared... argh.

    I even had a friend who was going to take me to the dance. Damnit.

    I'm sorry, Ala! sad

    But it wasn't really your fault. It's okay. I'm sure they all understand. Don't beat yourself up over it. 3nodding

    You shouldn't worry about it, especially as you would be endangering yourself if you were to continue. Even if you had taken more water, ould it not run out eventually anyway, too? Plus it'd mean more weight to carry if you were taking it on hikes/walks with you (Which could therefore mean you'd need to drink it more often and run out just as quick). I felt very ill the last time I went hiking/camping for a few days. I got badly sunburnt, and was just exhausted. Whenever I drank water too, it only made me feel worse. I really felt I couldn't go on, so I went back to the centre for a night along with someone else who had an exam. I would have liked to go on to he canoing part, but I physically felt I couldn't go on. I don't see it as quitting though, because I coudn't guarantee that I could stand another day of water that was making me feel ill, as well as not eating due to feeling ill.

    Six days can be a long time, Ala. Six days without water... Without enough rest... Without peace of mind.

    You could have tried to endure six days for the sake of the people who care about you, but what about you? It doesn't help any of them to see you suffer. Would you rather be remembered as someone constructive, lovable and important, or as... As whatever you might have become had you forced yourself to endure six more days?

    Your own health is of utmost importance. I'm sure the others understand, too.

    Thursday when I get back from Ketucky, when you come over...

    I will let you watch my porn. Yes, yes. ALL of it. Even the corncob scene. ninja
    And we can watch the FMA movie and some Ouran and all that good stuff.

    I WILL cheer you up, even if I have to break my own -no letting my friends watch my porn- rule. 3nodding heart
