Thanks for this lovely post, oceansize!
you are welcome, one ED to another.....
(inpatient too, the whole nine yards)
(i am recovering - i got healthy from my program 8 years ago)
in fact, recently i found something we did in my ED group at inpatient, where we all wrote notes for each other to put in a recovery envelope. i hadn't looked inside. 2 months ago i looked inside. more than one person wrote the same thing to me. "you are creative"
and funny thing is, before i opened the envelope, i had been telling my therapist that i felt like a disappointment, that i am not creative or inventive.
what's the point of my story? recovery.
goals matter, writing our thoughts matters, and sharing these stories really matters.
i know i keep using the same group hug icon but....i do love it so
