recovery
Your illness does not define you. It's your resolve to recover that does.
My Last Day
My diploma above will have close ups of staff signatures further down. Before Program: Today is my last day at partial for my eating disorder. I need to feel ready for not having it five days a week but I don't FEEL ready. Logically, I think I am. I know I have made a lot of progress but those negative thoughts keep telling me that I haven't changed as much as I think. Except.... I saw my chart. Completions are way better. Behaviors have decreased, at least my initial behaviors (binging and purging). There has been some symptoms swapping the last week and a half (restricting instead of binging and purging). I know I'm stopping the restrictions way faster than I did before program. Before it, I was restricting for nearly a day after a binge/purge episode. That was on average two to three times a week.

Possibilities
Find a Comfortable Place Find somewhere comfortable where your body can feel supported. Whether it be sitting in a chair, lying on a bed, or just lying on the floor somewhere, you won't be disturbed. It's important that you don't drive, cook, or use any machinery while practicing these possibilities.

Roach Invasions are a Source of Stress
Some Buddhists have told me some stories about Buddha, saying that in his life he had experienced both wealth and poverty. I can relate very much to that life journey. In my life, I have resided at brand, new, top-of-the-line, luxury-style homes, and also called "home" some of the most disgusting, low-life places that some people would never want to imagine, let alone dwell in. I'm not sure if that's a blessing or a curse. I chalked it up to some kind of survival lesson or spiritual lesson regarding the human journey and my personal growth in perspective and resilience.

Grief and Loss
Grief and loss aren't solely tied to the passing of a loved one. They can manifest in many forms and arise from various circumstances. For example, the loss of identity, self, a job, a pet, opportunities, or the feeling that your hard work has been in vain can all evoke profound grief.
