Re: help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Ashley-Kate - life can be so strange sometimes. I spent two hours driving around missing my son then I came home and cried for two hours. Now I am feeling reasonably calm and then I checked my email and read your post. I do not have any advice or suggestions but I do want you to know that I am thinking about you and sending you hugs for help. :hug: Mari :heart:

Re: help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AK,

Now that you have been released from the hospital is there any out-patient follow up or are you seeing a therapist on a regular basis? I can understand somewhat when you describe losing your identity when something that has been a big part of your life for so long is no longer. I just wonder if that is maybe something that you can talk to a therapist about and with their help work through.

Take care :heart:

Hi Ashley,

During my recovery process I have truely learned it is one day at a time, tomorrow will take care of itself. It is scarey and overwhelming for anyone if we see only the big picture as in "I need to do this for the rest of my life". In reality it is just for today and at this very moment.

I have anorexic tendencies so now I am a grazer - I hardly ever eat a conventional meal as it can be overwhelming, but I do eat. An apple here, some almonds there, maybe an egg for some protein in the morning.

You can do this. Its small steps, and your doing great!

Take care
