That is the whole reason I went private (the private blog being the third blog). I have stopped writing in the other two.<br /><br />I am glad there wasn't a scale. You shouldn't worry about gaining a few pounds. I know easier said then done. If you do gain a few think as them as a cushion to allow you to continue seeing Mary. You really need that. You don't want to loose her help.<br /><br />Being social can feel strange when we are out of practice. If you continue doing it you won't think so much about it. Each event won't feel like a first date. Glad you enjoyed yourself.Bathwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18286545216706532921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-77172538155231129412013-04-28T17:07:00.102-07:002013-04-28T17:07:00.102-07:00Lol I'm an anti-social snapping turtle.

Miles said last night that he's glad I communicate and don't throw temper tantrums, I said I do and they they're easily solved coz all I need is a cuppa and to be left the fuck alone for a few hours.<br /><br />I'm so fucking proud of you for pushing yourself and opting out of what would have been a push too far. *Huggles*<br /><br />Fuck the scales. Just fuck them with a sledgehammer.<br /><br />Nope, not 'fat' but 'less like a zombie/walking corpse/animated cadaver' LESS DEAD and not MORE FAT, silly ruby-ed-brain!<br /><br />Social skills are like any other kind of skill, if you don't use it, you lose it :(<br /><br />Practise taking the piss out of me! I don't mind if it's for a good cause :D Besides, I have a really dark sense of humour and a lot of 'Your Mum' and 'That's what SHE/HE said' to retort with :p<br /><br />Time for more celebrations, yeah?<br /><br />*hugs you tightly* Love you Ruby <3Peridot (G+P)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07055351645100012755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-78588535795506202082013-04-28T15:02:02.977-07:002013-04-28T15:02:02.977-07:00I'm so glad that you had a good time at the bo...I'm so glad that you had a good time at the book release.<br />As for what you said about spending most of your days alone, and thene venf eeling awkward around your own family, that is exactly how I feel. That is how it is for me all the time, around anyone (except my boyfriend). I don't think it even has anything to do with Ana, just how I am. It makes me sad sometimes, but I always feel so awkward when I try to change it.

You made it! I'm so proud of ...Well done, Ruby! You made it! I'm so proud of you! <br /><br />I'm with you, I creep away from social gatherings. I hate the stares and comments about how fat I've gotten disguised as fake compliments as to how 'good' I look. It always gets back to me what some people are really saying behind my back, because there is always that one friend who will blab. I make a point of never telling her anything! <br /><br />I think family members feel the urge to give sufferers compliments to encourage their recovery. They don't mean to sound insincere, it's just their way of showing they care. It's rather sweet, really. Saying thank you was the right thing to do. It shows you appreciate them and are not dismissive of their opinion, even if you think what they are telling you is a total lie. <br /><br />I totally get the forgetting how to interact with others. I sometimes feel I have a better relationship with my cat! Like she's the only one who gets me! <br /><br />Hope you are well, Ruby. <br />Much love. :)<br /><br /><br />Jéannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02603508805500865328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-35625258019865621052013-04-28T10:22:41.237-07:002013-04-28T10:22:41.237-07:00I'm glad you had a good weekend dearest Ruby. ...I'm glad you had a good weekend dearest Ruby. I can imagine it would be hard. I'm horrible at socializing, though not with my family (not that I have much *extended* family except for an eldery great aunt and uncle). But I struggle to even be social with an old friend, let alone a group of them (it led to sooo much panic on my part...). <br />When people tell you you look well or healthy, it feels devastating. Why people seem to do it more when we're *not* doing well is beyond me. Good on you for being to file it under "IDGAC"<br />The whole aspect of being out-and-about at an event like that sounds daunting, with the food and the socialness and trying to force a smile. But I'm happy to hear you pushed through, despite your ED. It's not something we can put in a drawer and leave behind, no more than any other mental illness. All we can do is try to cope the best we can, and if you dealt with it better than you thought you would, it sounds like you did that. <br /><br />Lots of love to you sweetheart. Try not to fret on a little gain on the scales. Remember you've lost a lot recently; it's only a drop in the ocean.

People may have difficulty understanding what it's like for you, but I'm sure your brother and his wife know how much thoughtfulness and effort it took to come celebrate this time with them. Hope the scale is kind to you.Tempesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17231346516896123249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-76988400601693442172013-04-28T09:34:03.031-07:002013-04-28T09:34:03.031-07:00I'm glad you had a good weekend!
When you'...I'm glad you had a good weekend!<br />When you're an anti-social caterpillar being a social butterfly for a few days does wonders for the soul. It's hard but you come out of it feeling better about everything, I think. At least I hope that's what happened to you.
