Carrina invades cambodia

I’m private
 
NOVEMBER 23, 2012 @ 06:33 PM


Hi guys. My name is Noelle, but most of you know me as Carrina Vargas. I'm an alternative model and I just graduated from UCSB with my degree in biology. I have always had high hopes for myself and big dreams, to become a doctor and help others the best I can. I've started a fundraiser because I cannot afford the treatment I need to live a fulfilling, normal life. Some days i can't get out of bed. I have a hard time sleeping, I can't eat, and the mania is so terrible that I have made such horrible decisions I have lost some of my closest friends. I think it all started going downhill when my best friend died, and ever since then I have been self destructing as much as I possibly could.

Despite Nick's passing, I managed to graduate at the top of my class from UCSB with my pre-med degree. All I wanted was to become a doctor and help people, because at the end of the day I knew I could do it, and be really fuckin good at it. That, and it would be the most fulfilling thing for me, because I have always had the relentless urge to help people.

Getting through my bachelors degree was hard enough. Not only did Nick die, but another close friend Richie as well, and it rocked my world. My family is a bunch of gypsies, and half the time i don't even know where they are. We lost our house when I was seventeen and had to drive to high school my senior year after sleeping on friends couches, sometimes as far away as Oakland to Pleasanton.

This isn't supposed to be something like a fucking sob story, like blah blah blah look how horrible my life is, but I really haven't had it easy. I have NEVER admitted I needed help with my mental disorders. I have never asked for help. I know now that I need it because I want more than anything to live, and live happily.


The depression is bad, the mania is bad. The problem is the bad decisions I make. Spending money I don't have. On some bullshit like Christmas decorations or a turkey baster. Hanging out with people I know don't genuinely care for me. On the other hand, the depression is worse. I cannot get out of bed, I can't work, and I don't feel strong enough to go back to school and finish my MD degree.

I don't think it has ever been this bad. I truly need help and I have never asked for it before. It's always been like, "I'm a science major- don't tell me what to do- I can treat myself."

The reality of it is, I can't treat myself. I am afraid of the future, because that's all I used to think about it. Now, I can't even picture it.

I have decided to admit myself to a program locally in the bay area which is a thirty day inpatient rehabilitation program specifically designed for mood disorders. It combines therapy and medical approaches to be able to better cope with what is so wrong with my life.

I'm not proud of it, but I've attempted suicide three times in my life. I've ruined relationships. I've burned bridges with people that loved me so much and only wanted the best for me. At this point all I want is to get better- and I have come to the conclusion this is the only way.

The cost of the program is well over what I am asking for, but my family has offered to help pay for part of it. I am trying to go as soon as possible because every day just seems like another hell on earth.

If you have the means to help, I will be grateful forever, and I will never forget it. Thank you reading this.

Sincerely,

Noelle

Don't expect to relate per se sister... but have arrived at the end of a rope unknowingly, while reaching for the stars! humans are hard to trust much of the time! We(as a whole here in America) are moving away from right and wrong, and knowledge, and towards simple satisfaction and pleasure to falsely satisfy!! Take care, move forward, and don't lose faith! As shitty as things may become(or seem to!) It's illusory... Feel the flow!! Cheers

Wow! I wish I could help, but seeing as I'm a college student myself and barely making ends meet I can't. I can say that you don't have to feel like you have to rush to get into med-school. There's no hurry, I'm learning that myself at the moment, my goal is the same as yours.Take the time to get yourself healthy before anything else. I know that you can't wait to help everyone else, but you really need to take care of yourself as well. I wish you all the best and hope you get through this, hell maybe some day we'll work together. smile

I've had bipolar my whole life, if you ever need someone to talk to it about, let me know. Education has always been a release for me, dedicating myself to homework and sticking my nose in books. Keep being smart lady, it's the only thing that's gonna save you <3

Sorry to hear about your issues. If you ever need to talk about it, feel free to send me a message. I have shizoaffective disorder, so I deal with depression and mania all the time. It has definitely disrupted my ability to accomplish things in life. I'm a little on the broke side right now, but when I get my hands on some more money, I'll definitely help out some. I'll keep this bookmarked.

I'm also sorry to hear about the suicide attempts. I hope you don't try again. It's definitely a permanent solution to problems that don't have to be permanent. I've tried 4 times myself but not recently.

Good luck. I've contemplated checking myself in somewhere but I can't afford it and my family won't help me anymore and there's no way I can ask for a giveout. I've been struggling for the past 3 years + with BPD and it's truly a rollercoaster every single day. I've given up trying to explain who I am and am focused on becoming who I want to be. Every day I am closer and I hope you become closer every day to getting what you want in life. It's crazy, I thought you had your shit together and you had this degree and all this shit, but I'm just like you and you're just like me. At some point you can't keep your head out of the water and you need to take a step back and look real deep inside yourself to realize how fucked up shit really is and that asking for help is okay. Good luck to you girl. Every day is a struggle. I honestly use cannabis to cope and help. IT has been the only thing that has helped. That and along with quitting cigarettes,drinking alcohol and realizing that I am allergic to dairy and gluten has really changed my world and helped my mind to become as clear as day so I can deal with this temperamental mood of mine. I use food, weed, art and music to cope. I just focus on moving forward...that's all we can really do. IT's hard fighting through the desire to want to just curl up in a ball and sleep the day away or just stray away from everyone and everything. Sometimes loneliness is so soothing.

Just a bit of inspiration for you when the clouds seem to be closing in:

"Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars. In the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul." -Max Ehrmann
