Anna, well done my love! I hope you purchased food later, because an apple really isn't enough for lunch :s
Alex- yay for making a dr's appointment; I hope it went well! And I'm glad you've been able to open up to a few others about your issues.
OtherAlex- very well done for making up the missed calories; in the instant that must of been terrifying, but long-term it's absolutely a worthwhile decision. You deserve so much better than being sucked into your ED.
Belle- awesomesauce! I'm so glad you were able to go to the meal and be sociable and not let your brain troll you into not wearing the prettiful outfit!
I should like to inform the thread of JodiE's amazing heroicness. She's been eating an almost reasonable amount whilst away with lots of us crazies this weekend. I know she must of found this incredibly hard and we should all remind her that it's ok to eat, and she won't gain ALL the weight.
Jodie; you've no idea how proud I am <3
Well done belle, littleophelia, jodiE and alexwhoisntme
At the doctors she said she thought it probably isnt THAT (which scares me), but more likely something else. Which means i am very pleased i went, and im gping to follow all her advice about things which might make me feel better.
He was no longer jean valjean but no. 24601 -les miserable
Some of life's mysteries will never be solved, such as why, after spending an entire evening listenong to Bach, do I find myself humming "the birdie song".......
I am reaching, but i fall, and the stars are black and cold, as i stare into the void of a world that cannot hold- les miserables
I just wanted to announce Jenna's MASSIVE heroics: as of today she is two monthes purge free and also doing all the heroic eating means she is - in her very own words - 'hardly anorexic anymore' weight-wise. And though this is proper awesome she is struggling with that so I am sure she'd appreciate ALL the hero glitters and re-assurances that she is doing amazing and should keep doing ALL the heroic eating <3

I was semi-brave today, maybe not heroic, but brave i think.
I went to see GP (hate GPs) and told them about the things that are not really there and got referred to the early intervention team, and another team who's name I forget right now
then I called the benefit people and told them that I am appealing
then I wrote the appeal letters, and a letter to my GP asking for supporting evidence
and when I went to the shop earlier and accidentally bumped into a woman who had a go at me even after I appologised I didn't run out the shop and refuse to do shopping, I went outside for about 10 mins then went back in and did the shopping
Well done Jodie and Jenna and Hazel and all the other lovelies (sorry my brain can't remember people)!
I drove for the first time in years today. I hated every single second of it and as I drove about 50 miles there were a lot of seconds. But I didn't pull over and refuse to drive. I managed to keep going, albeit slowly but I did it.
Jenna, you are all kinds of amazing and look beautiful! <3 I can't wait to see you next week!
Lotti, well done, that's fantastic!
Hazel, you got a lot done, that's brilliant!
LeClaire, you're beautiful and wonderful and congrats on driving again! I know how scary it can be to get back into the swing of things, especially with epic anxiety but you'll get there. Promise. Because you are all strong, like. I find that having the radio/a CD on helps me relax and focus less upon how nervous I am. It'll get easier.
I went to my ED assessment (third) appointment today and stupid o'clock in the morning; 8:30am, meaning I had to set off at 7:30am, so ultimate motivation was required. I also drove which terrified me and have accepted some kind of help which i will find out more about in due course. I am currently motivating myself to go for a jog (in shorts :O because it's sweltering!), have eaten something prior to that, then to see my friend maybe, then to zumbaaaa. I think that's heroic-ness.
Alex- well done for eating all three meals! It sounds like you're doing really well keeping your eating on tract!
OtherAlex- I'm glad you plan to follow your doctor's advice :)
Clare- Well done for helping your mam and speaking to her before you hurt yourself, that's really good :)
Kat- Yay! That's great :)
Lottie- Well done for being honest with your social worker, but I'm sorry things are so bad. I hope he/she can offer you sufficient support.
Hazel- Well done for going to your GP and making phone calls, writing letters and shopping! Sounds like a day full of brave heroics!
LeClaire- So please you managed the driving. Aweosome points to you!
Belle- that's a beautifully heroic day! So so proud of you. Keep fighting beautiful <3
