A Moment Of Hunger

A Moment Of Hunger

Edgy with a hunger that gnaws deep within
Needles shaking as the yarn spills
from between clumsy fingers
The aroma of chocolate chip cookies
freshly baked, permeates not only the air,
but my mind.
Ignoring the needy flesh that craves
Berating myself, hating myself,
and all of the endless wanting
Preparing tea to quell the growling emptiness
Distracted and pulled away for a moment,
the buzzing chatter of a cluttered mind
quiets with the mundane task
Cold hands wrap around the steaming cup,
reflection wavering amidst the golden water
The sweet warmth, gulped in quick succession,
fills the cavernous darkness,
soothing the throbbing ache inside,
thankfully growing numb to the pain

Recognize that your body is only a vessel. You are the spiritual being it carries through this life. You are punishing your body for the darkness and emptiness of your spirit. You have a mission in this life and the gifts necessary to fufill it. Focus on the people you love and be there for them. One day you will turn around and you children will be grown. Don't waste this precious time with them. Choose happiness, joy, laughter, love...

Any way you dress it up with words, this is suicide by slow starvation, and your children and husband are being forced to watch you commit it. Is this what you want for them?

Start thinking outside of yourself. None of us get the luxury of going through life so self consumed. You must find a way to live your life more unselfishly and to try to give back to others. You have a husband and four children that are not able to live their true lives because of the constant worry over you.You are robbing everyone around you of the happiness that they deserve. That is the true tragedy in all of this.

Certain The moon follows you at night when you are a child Oh yes, it does of that I'm certain And the stuffed animals with their neon colored synthetic fur they talk to each other when you close the bedroom door Oh yes, they do of that I'm certain And you can hear the angels whisper and the jingle of sleigh bells on Christmas Eve And dandelion seeds are tiny ballet dancers twirling in the wind The fairies hide beneath the willows And if you lie in confession with your fingers crossed you won't go to hell And with the moon behind you are always safe when you are a child Oh yes, you are of that I'm certain Angela Minard2009©

Just Snap Out Of It

The weather here is still dreary, drizzly, and cold. I sit here as I type, wishing for fingerless gloves. Yes, I would wear them:) I'm still struggling with the depression, but reaching out for help. My psychiatrist raised my medication dose, so hopefully that will help. Eating and more nutrition would also help my mood, and yesterday I did better than usual, but today it was back to restricting. The full feeling is hard for me to sit with, even though I know that it will pass if I give it time. I just didn't want to go through that today. My nutritionist weighed me on Wednesday, and I've lost weight, although she wouldn't tell me how much. That is fine. I already knew I had lost, and though the eating disorder is thrilled by this, there is another part of me that is afraid. I'm afraid that I won't find my way out of this, ever. I'm afraid that I will always be ruled by weights and numbers, food and calories, the mirror and my distorted mind. I'm really ...

Combat

I’m sadly detached, as if I’m watching myself through a window. Everything is dreamlike and surreal, with the world spinning in slow motion, and yet I can’t seem to reach myself. I was hoping that some of the depression would lift. I don’t feel as hopeless, but I’m still feeling sad and despondent. I can’t pinpoint a reason as to why I’m feeling this way which is so frustrating, because I would fix it if I could. I’m glad to be at work, I’m slowly increasing my food intake, I’m going to all of my therapies, taking my medications, and going to the addiction recovery meetings. I’m doing what I can to take care of myself, but still this sadness hangs over me. I’m so tired of feeling this way. I’m hoping that the warmth and sunshine of spring will pull me out of this darkness. I always seem to lose hope in the midst of winter, so maybe the grey, dreary days wear me down, making me more susceptible to depression. I just don’t want to go through another winter like this. I need to find a way...
