@Shaz51I have eaten my heart out. I ate 6 brownie pieces today. My stomach's not feeling too well. Don't regret it yet. tehehe
I ran out of things to eat today and was supposed to go for a walk to the shops to buy some lunch but then I felt too uncomfortable so I bought the paper and came straight home and ended up feeding on whatever was around.

Thanks Shaz51
Bit down as mentioned today, haven't been on here for a few weeks. Amazing how you can be OK one day,be down in a hole the next.I use food, salt,and sugar as a comfort,and to abuse/punish myself.It's the one thing that's always there.Yes Glorianna I was going for a walk too but my caring role with my mother and my blues took away my motivation.

I'm hanging in despite the long term unemployment,a family who have no respect,getting involved with a male for over a year,who told me to trust me,but showed his true colors last week in a text when he told me to take my ****(saw the signs such as it was always my fault but took a while to work it out).He knew I battled the past year with crippling depression and SC thoughts.Didnt get involved with him in a relationship, because I knew I was vulnerable and he was the one with "feelings"but he was the only person I have communicated with the past year.I blocked him because he got personal and abusive.I don't know if the blocked worked..Hope so. Lots of things snowballing as usual Shaz51.
