Still Lingering....
The depression still lingers. I try to fight it.....try hard, but it knocks me down most of the time. I sleep a good amount of the day away. Consumed by the desire to just give up and not face what is before me that day. I struggle with ADL's (activities of daily living) which I have never really struggled so much with before. I have always been SO RIGID with that. I have always taken a shower at least once daily, brushed and flossed twice daily, put on make-up, styled my hair, etc. The make-up and hair style have fallen off for about 2 years now, but the others have always remained.....however, now even they are missed at times. It is hard to admit, but I just lack the energy and motivation to do it. Strangely....my food has gotten a bit odd as well. I am counting calories....zeroing in on them. Punishing myself if I go over my "allowance". This has just occurred in the last week. I will bring it up next week with my team....however, I am at a good weight.....I could even stand to loose......so I doubt it will be really a big deal. The thoughts are there, however. Sleeping through my morning meal on purpose. Ignoring hunger signals. I am not sure what to make of this. It has been so long since I was restricting.....I am not sure. Weight is fine, and will be fine even if I loose. So am I tricking myself?? Am I lying to myself?? I feel disgusting.....FAT, UGLY, but I always feel that way. I want to be skinny again. Want to feel pretty again. It's only been a week, though.....I am probably making a big deal of nothing......like I always do.

"Weight is fine, and will be fine even if I loose. "
ReplyDeleteMiss Mary. I hope to see you tomorrow, but just know this is not a good way to think. (I feel like a hypocrite saying this with the way I am doing right now.) But taking one step down the road where ED logic win is too much. It starts with, "my weight will be fine if I lose." goes to "I need to lose a little" then "a little more" then "a lot more" then it is "my weight will be fine if I am underweight."
Challenge the thoughts NOW!
I love you!
