That's not being negative I just think my traits and personality will always lean towards an ed mindset. With that in mind I can avoid the frustrating situation with trying to rid myself of ed completely. I always have to be aware of my thoughts and not let things slip. <br /><br />What I have found to be helpful is having hobbies, distractions. When this was first put to me I would run to them when I was feeling cranky, you know the whizzing mind, never ending thoughts. However when I slowly incorporated them into my daily life, I found they then became part of my life, another part of me. I tried mindfulness, relaxation techniques for along time I felt faulty because they didn't work. Yet a lovely O.T. suggested if I felt peace and calm from crocheting, making, then craft away! Its like I need to being doing something to feel peaceful. Sorry if I've gone on. Just something that really helped me along the way. em. <br /><br />P.S you could always look at the name of your blog as if the old you has disappeared.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-52252978122952828552014-05-29T18:38:02.804-07:002014-05-29T18:38:02.804-07:00I've had several blogs.

I honestly don't remember how I thought of that one. I guess the idea came from the idea of faking happy, the idea of being alone in a room full of people. I was working at a grocery store all through college (not the best choice for a bulimic), and I had a fake smile glued to my face. At some points I was crazy enough that if there were no customers I would pace. I would do little exercises, but I would smile. I could hide anything in my head. I still can. People look at me and see happy and funny. They don't see depressed and suicidal. <br /><br />My newest blog is Crazy or Sick. This comes from discussions made with several therapists that I should not call myself crazy. I should say I'm sick or I'm struggling of I have whatever diagnosis. I hated saying I was sick or anything like that. I feel much better saying crazy. And I am. I have messed up thoughts and ideas. I've had crazy depressive thoughts for over 10 years. I like crazy. Sick makes me feel defective. It's still an occasional discussion/argument with my therapist or AA people or whatever, but I just prefer being crazy. Really, there is positive stuff that comes from crazy. I see things and people differently. I can see how funny my thinking can be, and I can still admit how bad a lot of it is. In a sick way, I am caught up in diagnoses, but I definitely prefer to lump it all into CRAZY. Don't know if that makes any sensehiding_in_publichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519626038177878643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-89815459955509628222014-05-29T11:52:43.178-07:002014-05-29T11:52:43.178-07:00I still like your blogtitel, even though it starte...I still like your blogtitel, even though it started out as a negative plan... It's still a beautiful sentence, and I hope one day the 'she' in the sentence won't be you (Ruby) but will be your problems.. (ED)<br /><br />My blog is called: Fundamentloos, and the link says 'nergens kunnen zijn'. If I translate (freely) it means : 'has no ground' and 'impossible to be (anywhere)'<br />I chose that because it feels like my truth. Because of neglection I seem to have no solid ground/foundation to built a decent live, which makes it impossible to be... to exist. <br /><br />So... that's my five cents for now... feels like telling too much...<br /><br />I wish you well, dear Ruby..<br /><br />love,<br /><br />ATheWriterNamedAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717729424098286683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-61203651053672886672014-05-29T11:43:14.788-07:002014-05-29T11:43:14.788-07:00I love this post, I agree that new title sounds gr...I love this post, I agree that new title sounds great. I'm glad things are different now than when you started.<br /><br />I wanted to convey a little bit about food and a little bit about absurdity in my title.<br /><br />I used to do some recitations of poetry, not my own, and Jabberwock was one of my favorites.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17701954673844293150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-20613353700586617802014-05-29T11:18:33.910-07:002014-05-29T11:18:33.910-07:00your posts are always so eloquent. i love them.
...your posts are always so eloquent. i love them. <br /><br />i do have a suggestion as a change for your blog name and i find myself cunningly clever.<br /><br />"and then she reappeared." <br /><br />my blog titles always change. they always do. my first one i don't really remember, but the current one i have is a lyric from a song, i.e. "How could this backwards land learn to understand my dance?" it is a lyric from a song called Misplaced, from the favourite band of mine, Sonata Arctica. i do not really feel out of place as the song conveys, but what draws me to it is the poetic brilliance of that one line. how it just sounds so beautiful. it is rather the wording that i'm so in love with rather than the meaning behind the words. <br /><br />another blog title i wanted was to pick a lyric from a song called Victoria's Secret (also by Sonata Arctica). during the depression, this was the one song that made me feel like i had something to live for. that life was beautiful. i used to listen to it when i was walking from my college to the hospital for coffee and it made me stop thinking about how i wanted a car to run over me. the entire song was just so brilliant that i could never settle on which line sounds the best.<br /><br />"leave for the first light, go when you still see the moon." <br />"run for the sunlight, gate is now open for you."<br />"dancing on the path and singing now you got away." <br />"life's there for the ones who love to live and take it all, for it is free."<br /><br />these lines were gorgeous.<br /><br />another song (yes, i aware this comment is probably getting too big) that i really loved and i thought would be perfect to get a blog title from is also by Sonata Arctica and it's called Unopened:<br /><br />"another misspelled rhyme written in the book of time."<br />"in one page, i've spent all my life."<br /><br />but alas, i've decided on the one i currently have...for now. i will probably change it when i get bored of it. as per usual. <br /><br />-Sam LupinSam Lupinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12704442793403106405noreply@blogger.com
