How it built up

I’m not even sure why I’m writing this. For no particular reason, I thoroughly remember this one evening a few years ago that I really think sums up my life. I had a whole evening of work planned. Get my homework done, make revision notes, eat, throw up, clean my room (obsessive rearranging of draws), eat, throw up, write (anything) so that I don’t feel the day was a waste [...]

 

Dark times.

Been really low for a couple of days now. 15 days b/p free. Still on the liquids. Could count the amount of ‘non-liquid foods’ I’ve eaten in the last month on one hand (not exaggerating). Literally crawling into bed at every opportunity to try escape life. Obviously thats what I’m ‘missing’… bulimia fills that void. How am I feeling? Emotional… depressed… exhausted and ridiculously reflective, (annoyingly so). Don’t feel I [...]

Letter to my ED

My therapist had to cancel this week’s appt due to illness. I don’t even know why, I mean I know she wouldn’t cancel if it wasn’t for a serious reason, but it made me feel so upset and left alone. I was so triggered and noticed these voices creeping up in my head. I almost lost it, but then I told myself that I couldn’t mess it up now, because [...]

 

Comments on recovery are triggering.

So I went out shopping with my friend today and we met up in a coffee shop, which was fine – and I got coffee and was quite relaxed about it (yay recovery) but then my friend pointed out that “I ‘m going to word this carefully, and I mean in a good way, although you’re still skinny, you’ve gained weight. Now you look more womanly, rather than bony.” For the [...]

 

I want to believe this SOOOOO much!

Struggling so bad right now. Seriously I am ridiculous. If anyone actually knew what I was doing…  I would be out of a job. For sure. I am questioning the use of the word “professional”. 30 mins into a 4 hr rehearsal & I thought I was gonna pass out/hyperventilate/die… I was breathing so hard & fast (& loudly) people were looking at me! ‘Professional dancers’ take care of their bodies… they [...]

Anxiety Disorders - Mental Health Videos with Kati Morton

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illnesses, affecting 19 million children and adults in the U.S., reports the Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA). ADAA also reports that the ailment consumes almost a third of the total $148 billion total mental health bill for the nation. That’s not surprising, given people with anxiety disorder are three to five times more likely to go to the doctor, and six times [...]

 

I have no idea what to do :(

Hi Kati, Firstly, I want to apologise for posting this– I realise how busy you must be and how many people ask for your advice; so if you don’t read all of this, or you don’t want to reply, then it’s perfectly okay! A little background history to give you some idea what’s going on: I’ve had ‘food issues’ since the age of 6, I started self harming at the [...]
