craving love…
I always thought I craved food…. lots of food… fatty foods… chocolaty foods…. salty foods… sugary foods and load and loads of it! Now I don’t give in (as often) to these crazy binge-urges I found out what I reaaly am craving: LOVE. I need to feel loved since I do not love myself (work in progress) and I search for it in stupid ways… I crave love so badly lately I have been being stupid and kind of sleeping around with guys that don’t give a f*ck (ironically;))… The thing is, I was hugely in love with a guy that did not care about me… but because I craved his love so much I searched for it by other men… which ofcourse I did not find, it only makes me feel more miserable! It’s like my crave for food is replaced for craving love… which I do not get any of in the moment since I look in the wrong places… I realise I need to stop this since it is only making me lose my selfrespect…
Ofcourse I DO have lovely friends and family but the thing is I do not always dare to open up to them as I am embarrased of the screwed up feelings I have most of the times and I do not want to be negative. So instead of sharing my pain I put on a mask, a mask of the happy energetic me, when I feel like I am dying inside of heartache and loneliness.. I came to realise I never really dealt with my emotions. I always tried avoiding and numbing them by eating, binging, purging.. Now my emotions are coming back due to the fact I do not hide in binging anymore I am feeling SOOO overwelmed… I could cry everyday but instead I almost always choose to hide in other things like binge drinking… this is NOT THE WAY TO GO… I just need to cry… even if it means I will be crying for a week, I need to deal with my emotions in order to recover, no more hiding… "The only way out is trough"

exactly. The only way is THROUGH IT. Thorough it.
Gisteren kwam ik er ook achter hoe ingrijpend mijn eetstoornis.
Nu zit ik er helemaal midden in met mijn ‘lege dagen’.. maar ik ga langzamer aan weer kijken of ik wat meer kan gaan doen..
Maar je gaat er zeker komen. Je bent al zoveel bewuster geworden van je drijfveren.. dat is al echt een enorme stap.. wat misschien heel veel mensen nooit durven te doen in hun leven.
Een ander ED meisje (haha sorry voor de naam) zei tegen mij: We zijn eigenlijk fortunate omdat we nu worden gedwongen te werken aan onze innerdemons.. en als we hieruit komen zijn we stronger than ever!!
