I have been exactly where you are right now - recovering from an ED and lapsing back almost without thought. I have been on track for years now, and I know you can do it, too! Accept help, get the treatment you need and TRY your hardest, and pray. I pray that you will search the depths of your illness and find freedom. You are in my prayers, sweet girl!<br />JayceJaycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12314497436099577167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457689006014443183.post-60898411248815152902010-01-17T13:25:05.812-05:002010-01-17T13:25:05.812-05:00This is my first time visiting your blog and I jus...This is my first time visiting your blog and I just wanted to say thanks for the comment first of all. I am glad I came across your site.<br /><br />You seem like a very smart, beautiful girl who has so much to offer in the world and so much to give others. I know it is going to be hard going into IP but you are so brave for getting the help you need. and for admitting that you DO need the help, because accepting that you have a problem is the only way to fight it.<br />I have been in your position before, and it is so scary but I know that you can do this.<br />Focus on recovery, it is a long road but it is SO worth it.<br />Living inside of ED is like living in an alternate universe. It is like a joke. You are living on Earth but at the same time you are far away from it. You aren't ever truly present with an Eating Disorder.<br />You deserve to get back to living! Be ED free!<br /><br />I am going to think a lot about you even though I do not know you well,<br />take care, gorgeous<br /><br />Love,<br />KarinaKarina (Like Some Cat from Japan)http://likesomecatfromjapan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457689006014443183.post-68581104128255449552010-01-17T12:38:07.933-05:002010-01-17T12:38:07.933-05:00Hi Jenna :) thank you for your comment on my blog!...Hi Jenna :) thank you for your comment on my blog! Well done for agreeing to go IP, I really hope it helps you. I had an eating disorder for 13 years before I started getting better, so I don't think there's any shame at all in needing to go back. It takes more strength to admit that you need help and DO something about it than to carry on pretending everything is fine. Too many people talk the talk but don't walk the walk. Good for you! <br />Katie xKatiehttp://themilkfreeway.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457689006014443183.post-38400941106716939212010-01-17T10:50:02.523-05:002010-01-17T10:50:02.523-05:00Hey girl...I'm glad you are going to get the h...Hey girl...I'm glad you are going to get the help and support you need.<br />Thinking of you during this rough patch..<br /><3Jocelynhttp://www.jocelyneatsfresh.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457689006014443183.post-55546092494230150642010-01-17T02:24:57.162-05:002010-01-17T02:24:57.162-05:00You are very brave and good on you for getting hel...You are very brave and good on you for getting help for it is the hardest thing to do on earth, to admit you need help. i will miss reading your blog but i will look forward to read it again when you are well... all the best!

My health centre at my school was also very adamant about keeping my health at a certain level in order to allow me to return to school. <br />It sounds like your mother is very caring and supportive, and I know it's hard not going back to school, but now you have all your time to focus on your recovery and take as much time as you need!

I don´t think I´ll ever have the guts to do that.<br />I´m under pressure to gain weight too - but it´s all about the trip my Mom and I are taking. The trip that has been already paid.<br />But not going back to school is so much worse. I know that.<br />So, thanks, Jenna. Thanks for sharing your story, and thanks for making me see the real truth.<br />My parents are not saying I must gain weight with no reason. They´re doing it because they know what´s best for me. Because they love me.<br />And your story just made me realize that.<br />Thanks, again.
