Exactly wifey & twinny, I agree with the both of you too.
I just spoke to Hel & she is speaking to her primary nurse tonight.
I actually called her whilst she was making a list of distractions for herself =D
She's gonna try to get on here this evening, so I suspect she'll be replying here or in her R&V :)
She's doing alright, but she's struggling a lot, as to be expected, however, I do think she is sounding better than before, which is really good, I'm really proud of her, and we all are too.
xx
dont have many words but im glad shes doing better even if she is struggling.
and there is no way that helen can be expected to be recovered or even close to recovered after this time, it may be more than a few days but its going to take more time for her. that sounded bad somehow sorry.
keep it up helen <3 i know you can do this, keep doing whatever you can hunni <3 we believe in you x
Right time to get my head bitten off time but it needs saying to be fair
If helen keeps on purging in the unit there isn't much point for funding and keeping her there because shes just gonna purge and carry on exactly what shes been doing at home. And you can't say now shes only been there a few days...
Tbh she needs to make up her mind whether she actually wants this and stops purging or at least TRY and cut it back. It just seems theres no point to further funding if shes just carrying on like shes doing now in the unit.
Sorry if this is harsh but it does need saying.
Its a waste of time her being there if she does keep doing while in the unit and tbh I think the staff should be doing more to stop her purging.
Thats my 2p worth and to be honest it needed saying and saying as it is.
I still wish all the best to helen but thats me view and a few friends of mine who have been reading this and not commenting view on it all.
LOL, unnecessary, ridiculously.
Ever heard.
" if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all"
And dont say its your opinion,
because you should keep these opinions to your self if there not supportive.
On a better note,
Helen, your doing super :)
Keep it up, so many people are proud of you ^_^
And Sarah, keep going love :) <3
And can I add, that it is really irksome when people say " a few friends of mine who have been reading this and not commenting". Way to make someone paranoid.
Keep going, Helen. You're doing really well. Just take it a step at a time, and these things do take time. Use the support around you. *sending strength*.
Just to add that I agree with everyone supporting Helen getting more funding.
The habits she is breaking probably extend way beyond purging. Over a few weeks she has been deprived of bingeing, alcohol and drugs. That's a HUGE amount to cope with and she's learning to do that.
I wish funding was endless, as it is I just hope they realise how important it is that she gets some more.
Lots of love

Always seem to get things just that little bit wrong.
"don't wish, don't start, wishing only wounds the heart"
I've got everything crossed that Hel gets some more funding!
It sounds like she's trying so hard and doing really well and I think we need to acknowledge that above anything else because I think few of us can imagine how difficult it must be to break the habits that have been the only way of coping for so long. There must be so much to learn and so many emotions to deal with. It will surely be a long and hard process, but Helen has made loads of progress and I hope I speak for lots of people when I say how proud I am of her.
Lots of love xxxx

I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships,
in persecutions, in difficulties.
For when I am weak, then I am strong"
(2 Corinthians 12:13)
Yeah a long term plan would be good, but I don't think they've done that yet, I've told Hel she needs to tell them she needs something in place for when she comes out, whether that be on the 10th or in a few weeks time assuming she gets more funding.
"A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'"
