Change Change Change!

So sorry it's taken me so long to post! Things have changed so much in the last few months! I went for inpatient treatment (as most of you know), I was there for almost 10 weeks....and it changed my life. I've learned that I am loved, I have worth, and I can make my life whatever I want it to be. I still struggle day to day , and I've had a couple of purging episodes, but the foundation of recovery isn't built on perfection, and I'm okay with where I'm at. I didn't return home after a grueling family therapy session that ended with my Dad walking out with my younger sister. Seeing my family through a mentally-healthy lens was a big shock. I won't go into the details of that in this post, but I'll write about it sometime in the near future. I've started doing yoga. I don't get into all of the spirituality of it, but the poses and movements calm and quiet my mind. I've moved to more advanced asanas (poses), and the physical challenge really stays with me in everyday life. I feel good about my will and determination in recovery and health, as well as happiness. I feel at rest. I feel as though I've taken a much needed sigh of relief after years of holding my breath. I'll still be posting here, but it will more recovery-focused and an open record of my struggles and successes. I'll be posting more later, but for now, I hope that all of you will take the time to consider what your life is worth. Know that you are so loved. Your support means the world to me. X
