Checking In

Japanese cherry blossom Pictures, Images and Photos I thought I would check in, so here goes... I'm just getting over a kidney infection, so I've been pretty run down lately. That is what I get for not taking very good care of myself. I had to take a few days off of work last week, but I did take my very 1st yoga class on Saturday morning, and it was really wonderful. Today will be my third class, and I'm really looking forward to it. I have made a serious vow to start caring for myself from here on out. Food has been better, and I will continue to add more throughout this week. I ate breakfast both mornings this weekend. It is going to take me awhile to work up to where I need to be. I did skip breakfast this morning, but I had some trail mix at work, and this afternoon before I go to yoga I will have a snack, and then dinner when I get home. It's not perfect, but then neither am I, and I'm going to stop expecting myself to be. Other than that, nothing else is new. Now, if we could get some spring weather, I would be beyond happy. There was snow on the ground earlier this week, and I've heard that we will have to wait until this weekend before it warms up. I hope that everyone is having a terrific week!


P.S. I chipped my front tooth this morning at work, so I'm off to the dentist tomorrow . I'm not feeling very pretty!

My chipped tooth is fixed and I'm back to normal:) I definitely think the kidney infection was an awakening to what I've been doing to my body. Thanks for all the support!

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 ...

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...
