They told me this would be the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life, and I’m finding they were right. I was never one to purge before I started recovering from this disorder. I didn’t expect butterflies and rainbows, but I expected things to be easier this far in. I’m 18 months […]

I have OSFED (Other specified feeding or eating disorder); treatment focuses on the anorexia aspects. I developed an eating disorder in sixth grade (2002).

Somewhere along the way, I was too excited about the idea of moving out of my paternal grandmother’s house in exchange for more freedoms and getting closer to total independence that I didn’t realize what I was actually getting myself into.

How long has it been since I shared about the mundanities of my life? Although not yet completely, I moved into the new house with Charlise & Fam, so I can make sure the boys don’t burn the house down whilst she’s away with the intended parents (IPs) for her surrogate child. It’s me, two […]
