As you may have heard, seen written, or gathered- I am not doing too hot.
- lost 15lbs
- has to call crisis services every day to keep self from killing self
- can't go to classes due to unbearable anxiety
- had a panic attack (first one in a few months!)
- was supposed to be hospitalized
- had to withdraw from college.
Yeah...
I have a therapist appointment today at 4:00 (there was a cancellation), I see my psychiatrist tomorrow (he's uber worried about me), and I also see a medical doctor tomorrow at 2:00 (because my kidneys and my white blood cells). have help waiting for me, and here's my plan of action
- go to abc meetings (anorexia, bulimia, cutting)
- go to Mental Health Association of Northwestern PA and their activities
- go into inpatient care somewhere (western psych? Meadville? Nittany? Meadows? not sure yet)
- see team weekly
- get my effing eff act together
- catch up on incompletes
- find a job
Right now, I feel tired, but relieved that I withdrew from college- which is a good sign. I still feel like I failed again though, and that maybe I'll just never be anything in life since I can't handle college...
I don't know, I'm hard on myself.
Here's the thing though,
I don't want help for my eating disorder, because it's such a comfort and I find it... helpful, if that's weird? I think it's the only structure in my life and something I can rely on... an old friend through the tough times. I know, I know, it's NOT my friend and ultimately it's making the tough times... tougher- but still... the control.
comments and support are appreciated, I need them really...
Out of the darkness and into the light

Self portrait- attack of my OCD
Tuesday, September 7, 2010
A Good Morning, hopefully
Yesterday I was so overwhelmed by
a. my eating disorderb. my ocd
c. my constant anxiety
d. my depression
e. my constant thoughts
f. this elimination diet and sticking to it
that I lost sight of reality. The reality is I CAN do this. I CAN go to classes and get good grades, even with these demons on my back.
I CAN follow the elimination diet- even though it's tough
I CAN manage my disorders... I hope.
I had posted a video- you may have noticed I took it down, which I titled "Sicken" and was the beginning trauma of my relapse... but some idiot posted "Why would you upload that?" so I pathetically blocked her and took many of my videos down in response.
Whenever I get hate-filled comments, I flip out- think EVERYONE is thinking that way, and convince myself that I'm a failure. I don't know why... I just (as Bryan ha said) give people too much power over me. It makes sense that my ED raised it's head and yelled "Over here! Use me as a weapon!!!" so I was going to starve myself again "to show them who's boss"
I'm on two diets:
- elimination diet (for medical reasons)
- abc diet (for ED reasons)
I went all OCD yesterday and separated my chips into their given serving sizes and placed them in ziplock bags. I almost taped myself doing it because I knew how ridiculous I ws being.... but ya know. Because I'm "newly" relapsing, and recovery is hardly in sight for me at this point, I don't want to call attention to myself.
I've also started exercising whenever I get the chance.
I'm super tired so I think i'll try to go back to bed now...
goodnight ya'll
