    Hi Marykeat,
    I have started to simply share my experience and essentially my battle with mental health in the form of my eating disorder via my blog, I have also approached local colleges and universities to go and share my experience in the hope it will help others. As a women in her mid thirties, I have found it hard to find someone else of my age to relate to and most of the treatment I have found very much geared towards teenagers, which is great but not much use to me. I have used meditation and compassion for myself as a way of trying to battle against the self loathing I seem to have for myself.
    I also started therapy a few weeks ago and I can honestly say it has helped me hugely and I can feel a difference in how I am starting to see myself. I would love to say I have been eating more or prepared to put on weight, but that would not be truthful at this point in time. I look forward to the day when I wake up and know today is the day I will change.
    Until then, I will try and beat this with all of the strength I can muster. Eating disorders are destructive, but can be beaten.
    Best Wishes – more HUGS.

    Good Afternoon,

    I am in recovery from anorexia, I say that but its a case of taking each day as it comes at the moment. I can relate to everything you say Marykeat and I want to know you are not alone. When you are in the depths of your eating disorder it does not mean a lot but at some time throughout the day just step back and feel the positive thoughts I will send your way.
    Eating disorders take a grip and your life changes, but you can get through this. Take one day at a time, think positive thoughts and remember you are someone worth being here.
    I am starting to use my experience to help others and this purpose alone drives me to want to get better.
    It will not be an easy process, but one day we will wake up and want to get better, the grip will loosen and we will become free. Stay strong and I send a HUG from the UK.
