Life without Anorexia

My motto is
'Dont let the sadness of your past & the fear of your future ruin the happiness of your present'

I am a generally happy girl who loves running, going to the gym and eating food!! Though my life has been very different.
I spent 5 years sick with anorexia nervosia & purging tendencies & over exercising. I was depressed and self harmed. I spent 2 years in different treatment centres.
After alot of struggles, lots of ups and downs, suicide attempts, tears, anxiety, panic and never thinking i would be healthy.
I am now declared healthy from anorexia nervosia.

I have been blogging for 4 years, and my whole journey is written in my posts. I now represent healthy and happiness. I want to show anyone struggling that it is possible to recover, no matter how hard it may seem.

I am happy and healthy and living my life. Going to school, meeting friends and trying to find myself in this world.

I write about my daily life, but also try to write posts about how it was when i was sick, advice and tips.
I am open and friendly, so dont be scared about writing a post or sending me an email at: [email protected]

Nightmare

Last night I had a nightmare about Mando. its not the first time I've had this sort of nightmare. Infact after Mando i felt so scarred by spending almost 2 years in hospital that i found it very difficult to sleep anywhere apart from at home. That was one of the reasons that I didn't want to travel during 2012 and 2013. I would get so much anxiety that i wasn't at home. And it even happened times where I spent the evening/night somewhere else but would take a taxi home at 3/4 am just so I could sleep and wake up in my own bed.
  Anyway, onto my dream/nightmare.  I dreamt that i was forced to be at Mando. I cried and cried trying to convince the staff that i wasn't sick, that i was healthy and didn't need to be there. I showed them I could eat properly but they still didn't believe me.
   In my dream I screamed and cried, trying to get away but they kept telling me that I was going to be there forever. 

  
The past week I've only been having nightmares... lots of blood and violence. which is weird as i really don't watch alot of scary things.  And I usually never dream, but now when I dream - or remember dreams anyway they're nightmares. :/ 
Mando saved my life,  but at the same time it still haunts me. A fear of mine is that i will end up in hospital.  Someday I am sure I will have to stay in hospital due to my CF. but it scares me so much.... just the thigght of Spending a night in hospital gives me anxiety.
   I have so many bad memories from Mando and hospital.... :/

    1. I think its just because i wrote the post about Mando. Whenever i think too much about Mando or my time there i can end up getting nightmares because i am always so scared of going back even if i am healthy.

  3. Random fact; the sheet on your pillow at the picture... I do have the same sheets, haha.
    And I know just how you feel, I've had a lot of nightmares about being locked up in treatment when I'm out of hospital.
