Life Update:

It's been awhile. A really long time actually.

How is my depression doing?
How am I doing?
What is going on in my life?


Let me tell you, it's been a road. It will continue to be a long road, of twists and turns that I will continue to navigate no matter the problems that come my way.

Mid-year, my therapist and I decided it was time to do one of two things.

1) Inpatient treatment
2) Intensive outpatient treatment

We discussed, we mauled over, I cried, I yelled, I got frustrated, and I pulled away.

Then something happened....

I agreed. I agreed to treatment.

Inpatient treatment was too hard to find the right facility. So we decided on a intensive outpatient program.

1. EMDR
2. Weight Loss Coach to address my binge eating disorder
3. Continue counseling once a week
4. Start school

I have been doing all of this except the weight loss coaching since October. (started weight loss coaching in January this year)

I am so proud of myself. I am finding purpose beyond just taking care of everyone else. I am in the midst of finding a career for myself. I have begun my healing process with EMDR, and continued counseling with my amazing therapist whom I trust.

My journey in healing my binge eating disorder is a work in progress. It's a large leap in my therapy, and something that I have been dealing with for over 25 years. My thought process on this is it's going to be a long road, and I will get over this eating disorder.

I am better than the food I consume. I am better than the feelings that overwhelm me.

I.am.enough. without all of the food, without all of the drama.

So with that being said, I am a work in progress. I am and always will be a continued work in progress.

For the first time in my life. I am proud of me. I can stand tall and say, I am doing this. I am making a better me.

Welcome to the new improved me.
