Consumed

Published by angminard at 9:21 am under Eating Disorder Recovery Edit This

I’m consumed by thoughts

of what I’m eating,

or not eating.

Is this smaller?…

Is that bigger?…

Looser…Tighter…

I suppose that is the nature of the disorder.

I use it to distract my mind from more painful

thoughts. It makes me numb and oblivious

to all other feelings. Unfortunately, it also

numbs the good feelings. I just feel dead inside.

I have a husband who is in love with me, and four sons

that I adore. I’m blessed with a beautiful family, and yet

I push everything away to let the sickness take over.

    Hi there! Just dropping by to say hi… and to say that it takes courage to seek help and work through it! All the best - you’ll overcome the obstacle eventually :)

    Rooting for ya,

    Franklin

    It is important, and good, that you are able to accept help and support. There is no such thing as “handling it by yourself.”
    I know.
