It’s a pretty goddamn hectic and hard summer. Officially met with the whole team now. I’ve met M my nurse, L my dietician, Dr.P my mental health phsychiatric, A my eating disorder phsychiatric, Dr.C my emerg doctor and my family doctor Dr.B plays a huge part in it. Treatement is real hard.. I have to go in every week to see M so that she can weigh me and check my vitals, i have to goonce a month to see Dr.B so that she can give me more meds and weigh em and check my vitals and check up on me, basicly, i’ve got an appointement with someone like 3 times a week. Right now though, i’m just hoping to stay out of hostpital and that Dr.C will asses me healthy enough to go to Ottawa. L’s calling her today, then she’ll call me with an appointement before i leave for T.O and we’ll find out about hostpitalization and mor eon my health. She’s worried about my chestpains, heart palpataions and dizzyness.. I didin’t know they hostpitalized only for dizzyness, it makes sense though, like you could fall and hit your head real hard you know? Well, like i said before..I do not like hospitals. Nope. Anyway, today i had my family assesment with A.. While i was in the waiting room, waiting to go in, i was convinced that i was going to let this go, cancel all my apointements and just do what i do best..hide.. Well, once you meet this guy, wow.. He gave me that extra courage i needed to keep going. He’s the type of guy who should be going around in schools doing presentations aout eating disorders. He knows his stuff, he knows how to be a phsychiatrice. What really impressed me though, was how he was able to make my parents actually have some basic understanding about addiction and E.Ds. And i quote
”It’s like CAS coming to you and telling you that you’ve raised your kids for long enough so they’re going to take them now, no matter what, you’ve worked hard and now you can have a break. Same thing applies to somebody who has an ED. We’re going in there, telling them that they’ve gotta get rid of they’re way of coping, what makes them feel safe. And what they’re thinking right away is like hell you are. It takes time, work, support.”
…i wish i could explain it like that? well now i can.. He said alot of other amazing things, but i mean, i’m not going to type out our whole session lol. But he made me feel very, accepted, loved, needed. He assured me that trying is succes. They don’t want perfection and trying is the main goal. If i slip, they know it doesn’t mean i’m giving up, it means that the ED is very powerfull and they understand that… Today’s session was good.
Mooving on, my father isin’t speaking to any of us now. By that i mean me and my brother. The really horrible part is that my step mom has 7kids of her own, and she lost them all cause she’s a crack addict. Well now, my dad is putting them down under his benifits/insurance and everything to get them home at his house so she can have her kids back.. Thing is, why the fuck i she doign that to 7 strangers, and he’ sjust completely ignoring his REAL kids!? The ones that ACTUALLY LOVE HIM! Well really, we KNOW him. He’s never even met her kids..
pathetic..
That stuff hurts..
Taking it easy today though, i’ve got no energy and i’ve got a headache starting up. Going to go for a jog, then maybe get some YOGA going, not too sure.
Take care everyone!
Be strong, i’m sending you’se all support(L)
