I've been quite open on here about how uncomfortable I am in my body. Yesterday, my dietitian sent me a book of writing prompts for those suffering from eating disorders. One prompt was: My Body Remembers:. That made me think a lot. When I'm stable it's easier to say that I understand why my body... Continue Reading →
Little lows, and they're impact on life
I took a shower yesterday. I washed my head and scalp, I put conditioner in my hair, and lost hope for a moment. It was a struggle to get in the shower in the first place, but I needed it. It had been too long in between showers to continue on any longer. So I... Continue Reading →
So much for my good and happy mood. Let me introduce you to "Hypomanic Me." The good thing, is that it's only hypomania instead of my full blown mania. I'm not too impulsive and don't feel euphoric. Consequences are still a thing. I'm sleeping very little, but I have energy, lots and lots of energy.... Continue Reading →
I guess, in a nutshell, life happened. It's cliche, but true. Here are some quick updates: We still have not closed on our house due to the siblings of the seller placing a lien on the title.

That may be a little extreme, considering I did study English and Psychology in college, but it's a good representation of the fact that I know... Continue Reading →
Got some news this week that was hard to swallow. I got denied for my disability again. Only this time the judge was nice enough to add, "Applicant alleges to have an eating disorder (yet she is obese)." I'm sorry that I don't fit society's vision of anorexia. And quite frankly, f*** that judge. My... Continue Reading →

It is characterized by repeated picking at one’s own skin which results in skin lesions and causes significant disruption in one’s life. Individuals... Continue Reading →
It's been a long time since I wrote a post. I wish I could blame one particular event to it, but in all honesty it's been half writer's block and half my typical self. The problem I have when it comes to writing, or doing anything really, is that I lose time. I don't realize... Continue Reading →
