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.
