So it's Wednesday and I'm still depressed and feeling hopeless. You know what the weirdest part is? My eating disorder really isn't front and center at all right now. I am grateful for that! And speaking of grateful... I will never, ever, ever again take all that I have in life for granted. I had so much back home - and I didn't even have gratitude for it. God, my kids, two jobs, a nice place to live, my family, my health, my independence. What I wouldn't do to have all of that back now? Sigh....I need to work hard on being grateful for what I DO have right now though. I still have my cat Hokey, lol! That, for me - is huge. He brings me comfort. And - I still have God even though I've kicked Him around and denied Him for years. I think I've managed to break almost all of the commandments actually. How does one even begin to atone for that? Do I just find a church and walk in? Do I need to meet with a priest or whatever? Maybe I will write to Erica's mom. I'm worried that I'm not "good enough" to go to a church. Weird, huh? And - I still have you guys. Thank you.

I am glad you still have Hockey. My animals bring me much comfort too. Funny how ED can be pushed t the side when you have bigger fish to fry.
If going to church brings you comfort then by all means GO!
And Yes. You still have us. Most definitely!
You should always be allowed to just walk in when it comes to getting closer to God.
Do u think your familiy would help you fly back to be with them?
This is really inspirational tho I\'m sorry for your sadness. Sounds like a perfect growth opportunity and you\'re seeing it. I think god is pretty proud of you.
Love the gratitude girl...
Thanks guys. :) SarahLynn - if getting back home was as easy as buying a plane ticket I\'da been on the first plane out a few days after I got here. I have to be able to get me, my cat, my car and all of my shit home. Even then, its gonna be tough for a while. The only person there that I could probably stay with for a while would be my mom and stepdad - and thats iffy at best.
