You all are so kind here. Last night, I was in a VERY dark place, but you guys helped me hold on a little longer. By some miracle of God, I was able to visit with a doctor, therapist, and dietitian for my eating disorder all in one day. And tomorrow, they asked me to come in for an orientation to an intensive outpatient program which I will start on Monday. Granted, there is no “quick fix” to a mental illness, but this might be the first baby step in the right direction. Thank you all - my prayers are with you all.

How'd the orientation go? This is Day 3, right? Praying you are finding answers and hope and help! YAY for an immediate opening and YAY for out-patient! You are stronger than you realize and one of millions dealing with eating disorders-often stemming for a society that destroys our feelings of positive self-image and self-worth. Keep us posted here! Such a great opportunity for you! HUGS.

    So I have been having a lot of health issues and my cardiologist felt that he didn't get clear enough images of my heart in the office, so he wanted to do a Trans-esophegeal heart Echocardiocgram in the hospital. I was pretty nervous about it, because I've never had any procedures related to my heart or any other major organs. I've had knee surgery and thyroid surgery, but to me anything to do...
