Anonymous asked:
my reply to your post about: 30th May 2012 : firstly, you and your friend jacqui sound like absolute idiots. and secondly, things are going to fall apart, and the things that fall together to replace them are going to be amazing. i just know it.. Thanks anonymous friend. Jacqui is an idiot - i am not going to deny it ;-)… but I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Overcoming Disordered Eating
Another way of body checking in people with eating disorders is comparing with others. Do you compare yourself with everyone you pass on the street or do you compare youself to people whom you consider to be thinner than you? Are you comparing your body with images presented by the media, the images of actors and supermodels, as your ideal? How can it be realistic to evaluate your success in controlling your body shape by comparing yourself to people who: a) Are not representative of people in general. b) May rely on disordered eating to maintain their unnaturally thin shape. c) Have their images air-brushed. By doing this you are putting a lot of pressure on yourself and it’s likely you will often think you are failing. -Centre for Clinical Interventions. (Source: daylight-dreams)

“Yet there a moments when the walls of the mind grow thin; when nothing goes unabsorbed, and I could fancy that we might grow so vast a bubble that the sun might set and rise in it and we might take the blue of midday and the black of midnight and be cast off and escape from here and now.”

1st June
Bad habits have become creeping in again, my food has to be cut up and eaten in a certain order, can’t eat this, will only eat that, it’s funny how two days alone with your mind can mess you up so much. Group was hard today and afterwards I felt so anxious and upset that I had to run. So I did. I ran and I ran until I was keeling over with no energy left in me and my insides creeping up my throat. I got home and closed my eyes and just collapsed for half an hour, an hour? I am not sure. It’s as though every eating disorder thought and behaviour that I have battled this year came rushing back at me in one big sweep. I just want close my eyes and make it all go away.

“At heart, I have always been a coper, I’ve mostly been able to walk around with my wounds safely hidden, and I’ve always stored up my deep depressive episodes for the weeks off when there was time to have an abbreviated version of a complete breakdown. But in the end, I’d be able to get up and on with it, could always do what little must be done to scratch by.”
