You feel free to express yourself however you want on your own blog- I know you're a people-pleaser like me, but writing what you want to on your blog without worrying about what others will think is good practice in giving up people-pleasing! :-)<br />I can definitely relate to the all-or-nothing feeling, as well as the feeling of loneliness. I'm proud of you for being able to recognize, though, that despite how you're feeling, you HAVE made a TON of progress. It will get easier- I promise. I never thought it would, but for me it has.<br />I know what you mean about needing to want to change for yourself. It took me until recently to get there. For now, though, until you want to recover for yourself, try to find other motivations. I think becoming more busy would be very helpful!!! That's an awesome idea. Keeping busy helps me, too. I also have a "Reasons for Recovery List" that has helped me stay strong and motivated when I'm struggling to stay healthy.<br />Keep fighting, Danielle! I know you can do this!!!!! <3Boston Femmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11772762440931811261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792871902317373397.post-59434845565911630112010-10-21T15:22:24.268-07:002010-10-21T15:22:24.268-07:00We all have these frustrating days. I understand ...We all have these frustrating days. I understand what you're saying - my ED tells me the same things in the sense of "all or nothing". You're absolutely right - the change has to come from yourself, no one can make it for you. Keep your head up - you're making progress every day. <br /><br />Hang in there!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02465017243367902399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792871902317373397.post-69936194554427669232010-10-21T15:04:31.204-07:002010-10-21T15:04:31.204-07:00this is ur blog so u write what u want hun!! i thi...this is ur blog so u write what u want hun!! i think its important to have other things to focus on and not just the disorder, without forgetting about it tho :) because it needs to be kept in mind, recovery that is. Dnt negate ur strides so far, this is a leaning experience that involve getting up each time u slip or fall, just like mr confuscious says!!<br />xxxxxxxxxxxFionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16075629144392708059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792871902317373397.post-87653488288124596752010-10-21T12:43:20.526-07:002010-10-21T12:43:20.526-07:00NEVER apologize for your emotions. You are fully e...NEVER apologize for your emotions. You are fully entitled to whatever you are feeling at that time and do write it out. WRITE it all out. Do not worry about "offending" others; your emotions needs to be let out, and recognized by you. <br /><br />I agree that staying busy is the best way to cope with ED. When I was out of the job for so long; I felt like I was going crazy and my ED was actually worse than when I was busy. <br /><br />Hugs. Once again, do not apologize. :)Ashley Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03079480848874087331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792871902317373397.post-33811971634343140282010-10-21T12:25:09.616-07:002010-10-21T12:25:09.616-07:00I totally understand the part about needing to be ...I totally understand the part about needing to be busy so that the ED fades into the background. I find it easier when I have a lot to do or something to look forward to. I hope you're able to find the right balance in being busy but still having time for yourself and taking care of your health. Remember YOU are important!<br /><br />Hope tomorrow is a better day. Take care!L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16203523458111360276noreply@blogger.com
