6 months for me

Wow they just flew by with little to no cravings. I've also been separated from my husband and living on my own for the last 6 months. I'm training to be a lifeguard and swim everyday. My bipolar is still swinging me from the tree but I'm handling it with out ODing or blacking out. My anorexia is still messing with my mind but I've managed to eat enough to bring my lab work back to normal although I'm still way under weight.

My husband wants me to move back home next month but I think I want to finish the guard course and get a job first. So maybe by the end of may I'll move back. I've learned how to set healthy boundaries with him and the kids and learned that I need to take care of my self in order to take care of them.

I still have a hard time thinking I'm this much in control of my life but my Tdoc is proud of how far I've come. Life is so much better and happier even when I'm struggling.
