Hey guys.. it's me again.


ive been living outside of my body for the past 3 days it's like everything is going in slow motion.. I spoke to my therapist and she told me I should speak to a nutritionist and start counting my calories.. due to my ED. I slept 11 hours today.. I'm still tired. I'm really irritable and I somehow can't shake this.. I'm not really taking care of myself these days. I am trying to but it's hard to get out of bed most of the days.. I still come to work but even that's hard.when I'm at work I can focus on work and that helps for 12 hours but then I fall right back into a slump. 


Am I making any sense..?

I'm not sure what's causing it..... Can you see your family doctor or call and see about getting blood work ordered?

If you aren't eating then you could drink calories such as Ensure or Boost

Working 12 hour shifts is tiring ... if you're eating or drinking calories and still feeling disoriented you should talk with your pdoc about your meds

There's a cause... It's finding it.... Don't deny yourself food kay... If you are and can't stop then I'd talk with your pdoc or go to emerg.....xo

I hope you’re feeling a bit better today? Any improvements? A nutritionist would be helpful, I agree! Our bodies react to what we nourish ourselves with, and if we aren’t getting enough of what we need there could be all kinds of different reactions! I try to enjoy a smoothie almost everyday, Greek yogurt, some fruit, add chia seeds or honey. If you’re still feeling unwell get into a doctor or go to an er if need be! Hugs to you

    Some things we don't talk about, we breathe them... Some things cannot be explained, but rather experienced. Some of the most healing moments arise when given the memory, acknowledging the love.One cannot go back in time; we move forward, and we carry the love we shared. No one but ourselves has the power to do so, or the permission to do so, but ourselves.So live life with your faith and...
