It Is Fun Trying


I think I have managed to stumble through this week rather gracefully . Tuesday was difficult, and change always frightens me, but I'm doing okay. I've been stuck in the office at work for half of my day, and I'm not an "office" kind of person. I hate printers and copiers. I hate paper work, and mundane tasks. Repetitiveness drives me insane, as does, cutting, gluing,and laminating, but hopefully it won't be for long. I'm ready to get my hands on a new kiddo:) I'm always nervous to start at a new school, but I think change is becoming easier for me. Took me long enough! Really, all in all, I'm in a good place. This week has been crap, but I've eaten, I've tackled each day even when I didn't want to get up, I've learned new things without judging myself too harshly, and I made it to Friday. This weekend I plan on lots of yoga, and I'm excited about the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, with extra time off, and time spent with family. The holidays are always bittersweet when my family is far away, but they are in my heart. Now that I Skype, it is fun to be able to see them in "person." I think it is amazing how the world changes second by second. I will never be able to keep up, but it is fun trying!

I hope you have a great Thanksgiving Angela, and know that i am thinking of you :)
Change does suck sometimes, but I know that you can conquer anything put before you.
And keep eating and treating your body right. More importantly, keep loving yourself and stop the judgment. You are beautiful :)

Certain

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©

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...

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 ...
