    • About Me

      I like to be outside. Anything related to the beach is wonderful. David Sedaris is hilarious. My dream is to become a national known critic and once I get my blog going I will tell you all where to find it. I'm up for new adventures and taking the road less traveled, although sometimes I get scared and need a push. I'm a thrift store junkie and sometimes I self-medicate through shopping. My favorite TV shows are The Office and South Park and I love to laugh out loud. I think laughing is the best medication. I've traveled to many places and I want to see the world

    • Close Eating Disorders
      Type: Bulimia

      I have had an eating disorder for 11 years. I am a chewer/spitter, bulimic, overexerciser, binger, restricter. I am emotional hungry all day. I just want to talk to people who understand. I just recently spent two months at the Carolina House in North Carolina where I received the most effective treatment for eating disorders. I do not think I am cured, but I feel much more relaxed and functional.

      Treatments

      Prozac Working / Worked
      Amazing drug. Helps with symptoms, depression, and anxiety.
      Renfrew Center Working / Worked
      Helped for awhile, but there are better treatment centers out there.
      Residential Treatment Center Working / Worked
      Carolina House or any of the CRC centers are amazing. Contact me if you need a number.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Its really important that the people closest to you can set boundaries and work with you, understanding your goals and needs.
      Topamax Working / Worked
      I think it helps with the binging, but I am not sure.
    • Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I gained a lot of weight during my teens and lost it after college when I became my eating disorder. Currently I am recovering and try to live a healthy lifestyle. I have struggles with a diet mentality, restriction, and binging

      Treatments

      Eat Less Working / Worked
      I just came back from intensive treatment for an eating disorder and I am focused on eating the right portions, but I have cut back immensely on my food groups. Mostly starches and fats.
    • Open Personality Disorders
      Type: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

      I am very comfortable with being Borderline. Its not an ideal situation, but the symptoms are me to a tee and they make me interesting. As long as I seek the right DBT therapy and take the proper medication everything is very managable.

      Treatments

      Topamax Working / Worked
      Helps control the binges and moods. It's a good drug. Makes me a little foggy/drowzy though.
