I\'m getting sick of Ensure
Well, I managed to 'complete' what I was given today in Day Patients. I had the AM snack and the PM snack but I could only manage half my Lunch portion so I had an Ensure to make up the rest. I think I've had most of the fruit flavours now and I still haven't found one I particularly like. Orange, Strawberry and Peach are the better flavours. I've yet to try the chocolate ones, no one ever puts them in the fridge.I'm DREADING tomorrow. It's known as 'fast food day'. Fish and chips. Tomorrow's snack is a different option too. Today it was an Apple with Fruit, Nut and Seed mix. Tomorrow it's likely to be some kind of chocolate bar :( .....sigh.Therapy went OK today. Didn't get a chance to go through my letter to him because it was really long. We only had a half an hour appointment today so he wants to save it for our hour appointment on Friday.Things at home are a bit....unstable. My Mum's 'new man' I mentioned a few weeks back has no where to live at the moment which means from tomorrow, he's going to move in with us until he can find a place to stay. This REALLY unsettles me because I'm not very stable in myself at the moment. Usually if I'm having a bad evening I'll go and sit with her downstairs and take something to do down there but with him here it means I wont be able to. It's making me feel like I'll be even more alone than I feel now. Not sure what I can do about that though. Hopefully it won't be for too long anyway.Well that's it for tonight x

Fast Food day sounds like torture. Surely not everyone eats fast food its not exactly essential nutrients. I\'m eating again and getting to be a healthy weight etc but i don\'t eat chips.
Talk it through with your mum about your concerns and perhaps you can arrange to chat in your room if you need to. or she comes to see you before bed everynight or something. Then you know the option is there and don\'t panic. x
Hey, i\'m not sure how this food thing works, but if you were to ask for an option instead of the chocolate and other things they should hopefully see that you are willing to eat, but that you prefer to take it slowly.
And definitely talk it through with your mum, but if theres still the odd time that he is there and you arent feeling great, talk to someone on here- i would love to talk if you ever needed someone to keep you from your own head, and im sure most people here would!
hope u feel better and have faith. it will be ok
That can be a bad thing. Especially since your mom does not sound like he knows this guy very well....I hope she has a firm boundary on exactly how long he can stay, job or no-job. It is always up to her if she wants to let him stay longer that way. But if she does not give him a limit to begin with, it can be very difficult to get him out if he decides to be a moocher.
Well we wont go into yur Mum\'s unstable relationships, we have to focus on you, challenging yourself with \"unsafe\" foods in the dayunit is good practice for you, soon you will expand your menus and be able to design meals that are totally \"safe\" for you. The time will come where you have to leave home and your Mum, she isn;t there for you emotionally at the moment so use the professional services to give you a safety net. Love as always and I am proud of you xxxx
That fast food thing sound dumb. please take care of u
