After a 5 year struggle with anorexia (with purging tendencies), depression, self harm and over exercising I have now been recovered for 4 years and i use my blog to help others in the same situation i once was. I am now a happy and positive person who wants to inspire those struggling to choose recovery and to take control over life and happiness again!
Thankyou so much Izzy for taking the time to source and post these links - they are incredibly helpful. The article on "functioning depression" was particularly enlightening - what it described was exactly how I felt when I was coming out of my "rock bottom " severe depressive episode. I had no idea that having exposure to plenty of sunlight could help you!
