How I felt. . . What was going on in my head. . . How much I hated myself. . . What I was thinking cognitively. . .
I feel so small and fragile. I feel lost. I feel out of control. I feel stupid. I feel helpless. I feel confused.
In my head I see this perfect image! In my head I see pain! In my head I feel pressure! In my head I am weak! In my head I am pretending! In my head I hate everything!
I hate my thoughts. I hate my smile. I hate my laugh. I hate my feet. I hate how kind I am to people. I hate myself as a whole.
All I think about is food. . . Can I get away with skipping a meal? How can I pretend to eat enough for me to be full? Can I get away with purging? How many calories is in that? Why can't I have the willpower to just stop eating?
This is how I'm doing, yet I'm so terrified that I'll get looked at like a joke again.
I don't think I'm as ready for recovery as I thought I was. . .
I'm trying to figure out how to get the help I need, but I can't get "help" without insurance so I am writing through it.
