About

I'm a 24 year old university student. I have my Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and Mental Health and I have returned to school to study Social Work.

On top of this I am attempting to recover from an eating disorder and depression, while trying not to let my anxiety get in the way. I was recently diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder so, I'm trying to work around that as well. I have completed an intensive outpatient program and 6 additional months of hospital based group treatment for my eating disorder. I've been out of the hospital for 2 years now and even though I continue to struggle I am continuing on the path of recovery.

This is my record of the good days and the bad, the highs and the lows.

I Had a Really Good Day

It was/continues to be hella anxiety provoking but so so good. 

I was finally feeling well enough to go to the gym this morning so I went and that felt awesome. It was nice to do something active. I was super productive this morning even though I didn’t fall asleep until 5 something this morning. I got up, had breakfast, went to the gym, did some running around, and went for coffee, and was still home by 11:30am. Good start. 

Today was my first group session. It was so good. It’s a pretty big group but there’s a nice mix of people. Everyone seems really nice. I was able to contribute despite my anxiety. I have a really good feeling about this.

I was talking to a girl from my program while I was on campus and she invited me out with her and few other girls from our program tonight. I can’t even explain how happy I feel. Seriously, someone just has to be a teeny tiny bit nice to me and I can’t stop smiling. Example, we exchanged numbers so she can text me later and I was so excited about that. I never have people’s numbers. 90% of the contacts in my phone are medical/psychological professionals. Having someone give me their number makes me giddy. I’m such a loser. I immediately texted my mom to be like “people might kinda like me and they invited me out tonight!”. I’m so happy and scared and excited. No matter how it goes it has to be better then sitting around working on my next assignment.
