Who am I kidding? – Day 10

I have just released the lookbook for my latest collection and I hate it.

It isn’t nearly as good as my last collection – it isn’t getting as many likes and people aren’t contacting me.

Who am I kidding to think I can even be a fashion designer? That I can actually make money off this? That people will actually wear my clothes.

I am heading down a negative spiral!

Of course I know how unhealthy these thoughts are and that I need to be kind to myself – but the anxiety is just taking over.

Take that ED – Part 15 Day 1,2

Guess who has been working out almost daily and has actually lost a bit of weight.

In a healthy way with no obsessions.

No restrictions. No negative self talk. No body shaming. No overcompensating.

Just balancing.

Me!

Boom!

So I’m the heaviest I have ever been but I haven’t binged and purged/ starved in ages – Day 23

I guess I need to be proud of that?

Instead of beating myself up for not eating healthy and skipping gym and having parties where I drink a bit too much.

Instead realize how far you’ve come?

I’ll get there. Eventually I will get back to where I want to be and I will be the best version of myself. It hasn’t even been a full year since my divorce was finalized so I guess I cant expect myself to be 100% just yet – and I cant expect myself to be the way I was before it all fell apart. I’ll get there, eventually I’ll get to a place that I am proud of and a routine and lifestyle that I can actually keep up with.

I’m healthy now – mentally I have ups and downs but I am nowhere near where I used to be – mentally I am a different person. I have my own business and while its hard its better than where I was. And the best thing…I have the most wonderful loving boyfriend and I am so grateful for that.

Pins and needles in my organs – Day 16

Today it took me about three hours to actually get out of bed, shower, eat breakfast and actually just get ready to tackle the day. I woke up and I just couldn’t. Something as simple as showering seems as if its as big of a challenge as climbing a mountain.

All I want to do is sleep. But when I lay in bed this morning, not managing to get up, I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn’t. It was as if I had pins and needles in my veins and blood and organs, as if anxiety was in my body and it wasn’t a symptom that I was feeling – it was actually inside me – a part of me. And all I want to do is climb out of my own skin.

Skipped antidepressant – Day 15

Would it effect you if you skipped your antidepressant for one day?

I just forgot to drink it.

And is it the placebo effect or am I really an anxious wreck?

I don’t know what it is but its hell and I feel myself climbing back into that dark hole.

Me again – Day 5

Unknown.jpg

Its been a year since I’ve been living alone and the separation and so on.

Only now am I starting to feel like myself again.

I feel as if I have completely moved on and let go of the past. I’m starting to fall in love with myself again and respect and nurture myself.

And I’m focusing on my career and my dreams again.

It’s all coming together.
