Well done, Hazel! I know how challenging that must have been for you, so massive hero points for you ^_^
Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.
Wakeful Dreamer [do you have a name?] Good show on being brave and achieving your goals, and for answering the phone
No, my friends just address me as 'oi you'.
... kidding.
My name's Chess. :)
And thank you everyone. The support means a lot to me. *hugs*
oh non-believer, please believe me.
is there honestly nothing in this world
that keeps you living & breathing?
you're a ghost in your own
goddamn city.
:pompom:Marie, well done on letting your girlfriend cook, despite the distressing thoughts. Your 3 weeks free is fantastic and I hope you can feel proud of that.
:pompom:Hazel, you have been tackling so many things which is brave of you and I greatly admire you for that.
:pompom:Jenna, tackling something that makes you anxious is an amazing step, so well done on driving again and I hope it boosts your confidence.
:pompom:Claire-Rose I hope you made something yummy. That's great about the writing. I admire anyone with the ability to write stories.
Sorry to toot my own horn again, but I managed to be in chaotic places today, get things done I had to, and tonight I'm fighting those self destructive thoughts. I don't need to punish myself.

Both of thesethings deserve huge congrats and well dones and well wishes! Threeweeks free is absoloutley fantastic! As is allowing another to cook for you.
Claire-Rose news: Today is a week since i last self harmed. Not a great deal, but it's something.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare,
As any she belied with false compare.

Is a big deal!!!! Well done :)
In Hazel news: I have been away with a group of friends in the middle of nowhere all weekend.... and in that time I am fairly sure that I ate like a normal person - or at least I ate when others ate, and I was fairly sensible with the alcohol (unlike some of the people there...) and I did none of the purging even though I did have a few opportunities where I could have done so.
I also took all my meds properly, including the rehydration salts which make me feel REALLY sick
Also today is my last day of taking laxatives... it's taken a fairly long time as I've had to come off slowly under doctor supervision but today is my last ever dose... And I am ALL THE SCARED!!! But I have been good and I have not bought any which means that after today I will not own any so I hopefully will not be able to have a moment of weakness and use them
Hazel, it sounds like you've done FANTASTICALLY well this weekend, which could have been a real bad point for you if you had let it be. You should be so super happy with yourself *High five* Also, good work on the coming off laxatives. And *high ten* on not buying any to have in your posession. i know how hard it can be not to have these things "incase you need them"
As for me, I went to the gym when I felt my mood dropping this morning (i.e. cried lots) and it picked me up. I have also not punished myself for how much I ate yesterday (my birthday) and have had a productive afternoon of sorting out money issues, copying recipes into my new recipe book and relaxing.
Look at all these heroes. I propose we organise ourselves into a group of crimefighting vigilantes. To hell with the Avengers and the Justice League. This is the era of The Hero Brigade! Of course, you'll all have to come up with superhero names. Except for me, because my real name is kind of superhero-ish already.
I met my girlfriend's siblings for the first time today, and although I was extremely nervous, it went well, and I think I made a good impression. That is, I think I made a good impression on the one who could stick around long enough for me to make any impression at all. :P
I went swimming today, which I've been holding back on because I have a very obvious scar from my slip up last month and I've been feeling pretty self conscious about, but I didn't even think about it until I was in the shower afterwards so I feel proud for that.
Also I'm extremely stressed tonight about sorting out uni funding, but despite wanting really badly to purge and cut I have not :)
Life is about love, last minutes and lost evenings,
About fire in our bellies and furtive little feelings,
And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a-flickering,
And help us with remembering that the only thing that's left to do is live.
Proud of you, Annaberry! <3 it feels strange saying Annaberry, because I'm not trying to call you by your username, but by how I always named you. Anyway! I hope enjoyed your swim, and well done for refraining from the negative things <3
Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.

I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.
