I need to write. I need to be myself. I don't necessarily need a reply but if anyone wants to reply please be gentle and kind.
I ate too much and threw up again (not in a major way). I have a mild eating disorder and my therapist knows about it. And I still haven't had a shower or cleaned my teeth. I feel disgusting. And I feel lonely and sad.
Oh, well that's all I have to say. I thought I wanted to say more.

I feel a bit better today. I'm going to try and have a shower. I think this is the longest I have gone without a shower or cleaning my teeth (5 days).
My therapist is going to call me today at about 4pm.
I might try and make something with the chicken in the fridge.
I will try and eat better.
I wish I could have a spa and then walk out onto a warm, tropical beach. And leave all my troubles behind.
