Feeling sad TW

I felt sad yesterday and today.

TW: ED and Self-harm
There's an anniversary coming up which is making me feel sad, here's to another year without him.

I feel so so bad about my body to the point where I struggle to look at myself in the mirror. I feel awful and it honestly makes me want to self-harm. I've been sat here just fantasizing about purging again.

I honestly want to cry and I feel embarrassed about it.

I miss my old therapist and I sort of (not entirely) miss my ex, I didn't realise how much stability they brought and now that I have neither, it sucks. Feels a little lonely to be honest. The whole of summer has gone and I've done nothing. I didn't even get to say a proper goodbye to my uni friends. 

I might try journaling again because I don't talk enough about how I'm feeling.

    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley
