I am me.

I am not perfect.
I try to do the best that I can, set goals that I can reach, and do anything to achieve them.

But I've gotten a little lost along the way, and now here I am, struggling with Anorexia, Depression, and Self Harm.

My blog isn't supposed to be a happy place. Or an advice giving place. It's just a place that I can write out all my thoughts, everything I feel, without being judged!
Maybe you'll find solace in my struggles, someone to understand. Maybe you'll find interest in watching my journey through my life, or maybe you'll even take one look at this, and turn away. Every reaction is a lesson, and I am here to learn.

This blog is access into my most private thoughts.
With that being said, enjoy!

Thank you!

I was thinking earlier..... and I realized that there are so many people who have helped me through anything and everything, and that it means a lot. And I realize that I may not act like it, but I just wanted to finally say it in all one post, so that I can put it out there. So here's a list of people who've helped and supported me. (:

1. Izzy
From the second I found her blog, it meant a lot to me. She was recovering from Anorexia at the time, and though we didn't share the same ED, she could understand how I felt on a personal level. She gave me advice on everything, without judgement. It was amazing, and now that she is fully recovered from her Eating Disorder, I can look up to her. I want to be like her, to love who I am, to be healthy, to be where she is at. I want to be able to help other people. She is amazing. http://living-with-anorexia.blogspot.com/ and her new blog http://living--healthy.blogspot.com/

2. Kendel
She's been amazing to me, someone to just talk to, and though she lives far away, he has a way of being her that just makes me smile. We have so much in common, and I love reading her blog. http://xjustanotherteenblogger.wordpress.com/ She's fun to talk to, and she just makes me laugh a lot. Of course, that's not too hard to do, but still. It's very nice. I consider her a friend, even though she lives in New Zealand and I've never met her!

3. Lovely Bones
This girl - I found her blog a few days ago. And from the second I read it, I was intrigued. She is currently battling Bulimia, and though it tends to get the best of her, as it is a very hard disease to get out of, she is fighting it. She was easy to talk to, and she supported me from the get go. I am not sure what it is about her, but she just makes me smile, and I am rooting for the best for her to beat her Bulimia. I know she can do it! Here's a link to check out her blog: http://mystruggleforperfection.blogspot.com/

4. Alex
She is one of my best friends, and though she doesn't know about this blog, she too has been where I'm at. She talks me through the worst of situations, where I think that nobody could ever want to be around me. She makes me laugh, and her quirks? You just gotta love her. She's been known to be quite scary when she's angry, but hey, aren't we all? I love her so much, she's a great friend to have. I don't know what I'd do without her.

5. Cimiron
I know I talk about him a lot in this blog, but hey, he means something huge to me. He makes me laugh, and smile. He listens to all of my crazy rants, even when he doesn't deserve it. He gives me advice, even when I don't think I want it. And he loves me. That's a huge thing, because I don't love myself, or at least I don't think I do, and because of him, I'm getting there. He is amazing, and even though he lives 2200 miles away, I still keep him here. I owe him so much for everything he's done for me, and probably will continue to do for me. I am so lucky to have him. I can't believe that I went to school with him for an entire year, hung out with him pretty much for a year, and yet I had no idea who he was. And now, here we are about 4 years later, and I can't imagine my life without him. Now, I don't mean to sound all cheesy and sappy and everything, but really, all that is amazing to me. (:

6. Kassidy
Kassidy is another one of my best friends, and she helps me through a lot. She is the one that would do the most insane shit with me, just because I want to. We've had so many great adventures, and I can still remember the first time we met. Ironically, it was due to the fact that I was being a complete idiot on the first day of school, but hey, a friend is still a friend. Sometimes I want to kick her in the face, and tell her to shove it up a goat (I have told her that before), but I still love having her crazy ass around. Who else would I do crazy stuff with?!?!? She supports me through everything, and I her, and I'm really lucky to have a friend like her.

7. Otis
This hoe right here is my bestest friend. Just kidding, she is so not a hoe. I love her. She makes me laugh, she gets things stuck in my head, she's constantly random, and she's her. I have to thank her so much, because she is originally the one who got me started on my road to recovery from Bulimia. Had she not stepped in, and told her grandma, where would I be now? I owe her for that, for saving my life, not once, but twice. The first was from my Bulimia, because surely I would be dead by now, or close to it. But she also saved me again back in my Freshman year/summer when I was self harming. Granted, she was doing it too, but she reached out to me through her own pain, and he helped me to stop. She helped me out of my depression, and to that I will always be grateful. I love her so much, I can't imagine my life without a best friend like that.

Well these are a few people that have done outstanding things for me, and I wanted to thank them for everything they've done, even if most of them will not see this. It's still there, and maybe one day I can show them. Because you should tell people what they mean to you day in and day out, and appreciate what you have, because you never know if tomorrow could be your last day, and you wouldn't want to leave anything unsaid. (:

  1. Thank you darling.
    Today I resisted purging because I thought of all the times I've vowed to stop, and how strong you are, and I fought against the feeling.
    I'm getting better even if I'm not there yet. Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement.

    1. I am so proud of you! That is a huge accomplshment, and tht shows that you really do want to stop being Bulimic, even if you're not there yet! I am so proud of you!!!
      I am glad that I could help, and really, don't ever hesitate to email me, so that I can continue to help. You've helped me as well, just by being someone to talk to! I hope you had a good day, and that you can continue on your road to recovery.
      Even if you are not there yet, you are getting there. And remember, you are going to mess up. That's a part of getting better. Don't take it to meant that you failed, just that you have to get back up again. Every day you fight it, you become stronger and your ED becomes weaker. I believe in you, if nobody else does! Keep your head up! I love you!

    1. Izzy you are such an inspiration to me. Finding your blog, well it's been a miracle. As i've said in the above post. I know that I can get there, and I know that I will. Patience and time is the key.
      Thank you for everything you've done, it means the world to me. And thank you for all your encouragement. One day soon, I will be where you are, and I will be there in a healthy place, not because of my ED. So thank you! (:

  3. Aw, thank you so much! :D I had a stupid I'm-so-happy smile plastered on my face while I was reading this post! It doesn't matter if we haven't met, that's just a minor detail! Haha and remember, when I'm a millionaire I'm going to have a private jet or liner and I'm going to come and visit you! :D
