  • I feel really uncomfortable!

    Thursday, July 3, 2008 | An Anxious story

I have not been able to sleep well at night for a few weeks now. I have been really hot and uncomfortable when I lay down to go to sleep. I've been really uncomfortable and my legs and my body can...

    I think I want to ask my doctor if I can get blood tests done... Because I need to assess the damage I've done to myself... But the thing is, I'd have to ask my mom first, and I don't want to scare her... And I'm actually afraid to know what I've done... 
    And the other thing is that my doctor doesn't know I have an eating disorder. 
    I know, I know, she REALLY shoul...

    I HAVEN'T WRITTEN IN A WHILE. HAD LOTS OF STUFF GOING ON.

I am also afraid because my parents seem so nervous but supportive. Is this something I can handle? will I be to isolated? I am...

  • "Looks Pretty Permanent..."

    Friday, April 17, 2009 | An Anxious story

    Changing in front of the mirror is a ritual for me.
    When I'm feeling unhappy, stressed, anxious, angry (or any sort of emotion, really), I'll spend about 10 seconds washing my face, and then change into my pyjamas.  I'll spend close to an hour (no exaggeration) poking and prodding my stomach, thighs, buttocks, calves, breasts, arms.  In between, I'll close my eyes, hoping...
