Asa Returns

Hey all. It’s been a while since you’ve heard from me. But Livvy is too out of it and emotionally disconnected to write about herself at the moment. Currently, she’s lying in her tent, utterly dejected. She’s had an emotionally charged and straining day. Currently, she is feeling completely fat and ugly and cowardly because [...]

Treatment? What!?

I leave in my wake a trail of failed treatment attempts. How do I feel about treatment? I really don’t know. I may have the opportunity in the upcoming months to do a special kind of residential treatment. If the chance comes up, I would go, whole heartedly. That said, I just have so many [...]

Some Perspective, or Something Like It?

I have a slight case of the post-purge jitters. I just finished purging my only real meal of the day. Granted, not being an actual meal does not diminish the loathing for that muffin I ate, with intentions to purge but didn’t. But that’s another story altogether.
I just finished showing my mom how to find [...]

All I Want is…

I saw this on another blog about 20 minutes ago.
This is a link!
It’s part of a book about a male food critic with bulimia. I read through, it took a while to get me interested. After about 2/3 of the way through, I realized I want to find a man with an eating disorder. Is [...]

Nightmare on Elm Street

The last 2 nights, I’ve cried myself to sleep because I feel so abandoned. I’ve also been waking up from nightmares. I don’t know what they’re about, I just know I wake up crying and afraid.
I’ve moved into my parents’ back yard. My dad doesn’t know I’m here, he never goes to the back yard. [...]

Mounted Dew and Little Sleep

Today I had 4 liters of Mountain Dew and stayed up with my brothers playing video games and watching movies. We all had a case of severe fits and giggles by the time we hunkered down for the night with The Fifth Element on the tv. I’d never seen it before.
Nothing much to report. The [...]

Just to see the blood flow

There is a vein in my wrist that sticks out in one spot and taunts me so. I want to slice it open. Not to die. Just to see the blood flow. But I’m too cowardly to try.
I found my box of art supplies and I was looking through it. I found my recovery binder. [...]

Don’t waste your time on me

**Warning**
Self-harm trigger warning.
Where are you and I’m so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
Webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and [...]

I’ll tell you where it can go…

Let’s start on a happy note.

Ok…
*Deep breath*
Well, just got back from a 10-day trip to California to visit friends. It was one of the most magical and trying weeks in a very long time.
I enjoyed myself so much. Biking to the beach, going to Disneyland, playing cards, watching movies, so many [...]

Reverse Weight Loss Commercials Anyone?

I hate weight loss commercials. Especially since most of the people on them don’t even need to lose weight.
Tonight, there was one on that went like this:
“I work around food all the time. Before I knew it, I was over 300 pounds. That’s when I realized I needed to do something about my weight.”
It really [...]
