A bad day is…

CW: 99.2 lbs / 45 kg
BMI: 16.0

A bad day is…

when you realize at the moment you woke up that you shouldn’t have gotten out of bed.
when you have no ability to focus on anything except the hope for a binge
when you spend $30 on binge food
when you b/p 3 times
when you become afraid to eat
when you have 2 panic attacks within an hour of each other
when you realize there is no one within a 60 mile radius that you feel safe to call to sit with you
when you have one of these panic attacks on the phone with your therapist
when your head is pounding
when your throat is burning
when you miss the class that only meets once a week
when you can’t write the essay that is due tomorrow
when you realize your meds are no longer working to soothe the anxiety
when your weight is dropping and it thrills and scares you all at once
when you want to reach out and accept help but the ED pins you down
when you realize you just may not be able to do it on your own…

I’ve spent the past 90 minutes trying to convince myself to go downstairs and eat something safe, healthy and nutritious and to keep it down.

It’s only 6pm.  When will the day be over?

RYN: lol thats a bit freaky haha thanx for your kind note. *hugz* take care bubba ..

I’m sorry you’ve had such a bad day. I hope your not trying to lose more though, are you? 99lbs is a dream to some people but it’s also very underweight (assuming you’re not like 4’11 or something)
