R E L A X ~ Yesterday was a bad day for me, I basically just wallowed all day. Today my boyfriend has been around and we went strawberry picking, and I also went horse riding. Then we did some work in the garden. It really does make things better doing more, although it’s easier said than done! ~ www.caras-corner.com ~ ~ #blogging #blogger #mentalhealth #mentalhealthblog #mentalhealthblogger #lifestyleblogger #lifestyleblog #carascorner #mentalillness #recovery
T I R E D ~ There is nothing glamorous about anorexia. This is me today. I am thinner than I was last week, last month, last year. But I have lost much more than weight. I have lost my creativity. I have lost my energy and motivation. I have lost my spark. I am finding it hard to enjoy the things I used to enjoy, or to look forward to anything. I feel hollow. Today, like most of my days off, I have slept. I woke up at 8am and went back to sleep. I woke up at 11am, went back to sleep at 1pm and woke up at 3pm. I am just about to have a bath, after which I’ll probably sleep. My life feels meaningless right now. I miss my old self, and that is one of my main motivations for recovery. I want to be her again. ~ https://caras-corner.com/2019/06/13/a-confession-from-me/ ~ #blogging #blogger #mentalhealth #mentalhealthblog #mentalhealthblogger #lifestyleblogger #lifestyleblog #carascorner #iweigh #recovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #anorexiarecovery #relapse
N E W P O S T ~ I have always, for many years, proclaimed to be somebody who doesn’t experience anxiety. It turns out that it’s because the way I feel anxiety didn’t fit into my perception of what that should look like. I’ve learnt a lot about myself in therapy, and one of those things is that actually I am pretty fucking anxious for a huge proportion of the time, I just experience it differently to the ‘typical’ views we may collectively have. I wrote about my experiences and how I learnt what my anxiety looks like. ~ https://caras-corner.com/2019/07/21/me-and-my-secret-anxiety/ ~ #blogging #blogger #mentalhealth #mentalhealthblog #mentalhealthblogger #lifestyleblogger #lifestyleblog #carascorner #blogpost #anxiety #mentalillness #recovery #anxious
F U C K A N O R E X I A ~ I got this awesome bracelet from the lovely @falidude yesterday. It’s so cool because I will be able to look at it and know what it says but to everyone else it’s just a bracelet. This is a message I really need to remember right now. ~ https://caras-corner.com/2019/07/14/the-paradox-of-eating-disorder-services/ ~ #blogging #blogger #mentalhealth #mentalhealthblog #mentalhealthblogger #lifestyleblogger #lifestyleblog #carascorner #iweigh #recovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #anorexiarecovery #relapse
S T R U G G L I N G ~ I am still trying to process the information I was given at work yesterday that I might be forced to take some time off sick because of my eating disorder. I fucking hate this. I hate this illness, I hate what it takes from me, I hate how much it impacts my life. It is so much more powerful than me right now and I’m so scared that I am going to lose everything to it again. I’m just not strong enough to fight it on my own. ~ https://caras-corner.com/2019/07/14/the-paradox-of-eating-disorder-services/ ~ #blogging #blogger #mentalhealth #mentalhealthblog #mentalhealthblogger #lifestyleblogger #lifestyleblog #carascorner #iweigh #recovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #anorexiarecovery #relapse
B R A V E ~ Today I did something scary. I had an occupational health appointment at work to discuss my relapse and for days I have been catastrophising it and worrying that they will tell me I can’t work. It transpired that the doctor was lovely and said he has no concerns about my fitness to practice as a nurse but that I need to be prepared that there may come a time at which full time work may not be possible, which realistically I understand. He was just as frustrated as me about the long wait for an assessment and completely understood my somewhat backwards logic of not being motivated to make changes until I get one - he realised that this was as a result of a very broken system and was sympathetic to that. Now I just need to go back to my managers and say that there are no concerns about my ability to nurse and that we just need to keep an eye on whether I am able to manage full time work as time goes on. I am so relieved. ~ https://caras-corner.com/2019/07/14/the-paradox-of-eating-disorder-services/ ~ #blogging #blogger #mentalhealth #mentalhealthblog #mentalhealthblogger #lifestyleblogger #lifestyleblog #carascorner #iweigh #recovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #anorexiarecovery #relapse
