So I've been thinking
This blog gets quite a lot of hits every day
Between 500 - 800 every day
And only a very small percentage of these actually leave a comment
I know quite a few of you that read and comment
But there must be so many that I don't know
You all know so much about me
I don't censor my blog in any way
I write like no one is reading
But I would like to know about you
What's your name?
Where are you from?
How long have you been reading?
How did you find this blog?
I would love to know some tid bits of information about you
Anything at all
What you look like
If you have an eating disorder or some other mental health issue
Do you have any pets?
Do you work?
What age are you?
So today I invite you to get in touch
I would really love to hear from you
Whether you have read from the start
Or if you are a new reader
Maybe you drop by from time to time
Maybe you've never commented before
Maybe you don't like me or my blog
Maybe you are going through similar things to me
Maybe you are in recovery
Maybe not
Maybe you can relate
Who ever you are
Where ever you are from
Do let me know
I am always curious as to who reads this blog
And comments truly make my day
It blows my mind that people all around the world read my words and leave messages of hope and love
I'll look forward to hearing from you
Over to you............
hi ruby
ReplyDeletei have been meaning to properly introduce myself or maybe send you an email for so long but i keep putting it off
i am very bad at commenting mostly because i have to think and overthink my words for the fear of triggering anyone
i know you have written about kinda getting triggered by people who are still in ED frame of mind
so i wont go into specifics,just that its hard these days
but i am so incredibly proud of you
i've been busy over the past few months
last year being a student,finals and everything
still havent gotten free yet
but i will get into world of blogging properly once i'm free
i've been reading your blog for so long
and like you said i kinda feel as if i know you
so in my head your like a person i know
its weird writing to you as a stranger cuz you dont know anything about me
but hopefully soon this gap will be bridged
i just need to get free from exams and then i will start posting regulary
and i will try to comment as frequently as i can
just know that you are always in my thoughts
please take care of your self
love
poppy :)
Hi there. I'm J. I have commented before, but I don't comment often, and for that I am sorry. A little bit about me?
ReplyDeleteHmm. I'm 18 years young, and I dropped oit of high school in my last year. I suffer with Anorexia and depression. I play the violin, and it is the only thing that brings me happiness. I am currently unemployed, but trying to get a job.
I don't remember how I found this blog. Once I find a new blog to read I often look at the blogs they follow to find more, and that is how I found your blog.
I live in the US, and have been a reader for quite some time. I am always reading, even if I don't always leave a comment. I don't know if you follow my blog or not, but I will leave the link just in case.
I am so happu to read about your journey to loving yourself again. Keep going. Xxx
I've left a couple comments before...been reading for a few years now. Found it one of the times it was nominated on Healthline.

You know a bit about me but my blog isn't a good place for you to be so I'll add some more here. I'm Tempest, I live in the Great Lakes region/Midwest US, I turn 30 in January, and I'm a nurse. I have a cat, a cockatiel (small bird), and for 2 weeks now a puppy that make life brighter and more bearable. I've been stuck cycling among subclinical behaviors, EDNOS, BED, and non purging bulimia since I was about 12. I've also struggled with depression and general screwedupedness most of my life. I love reading, camping, singing in my car, and almost any kind of art, including my latest discovery of theater.
ReplyDeleteI read because I want to see your success moving toward happy and whole. Because I wonder what it's like to have a more severe ED, one that overtly threatens life and function. I read because your writing is beautiful and your style is unique. Because you are a lovely, caring person.
Hi! I am not much for leaving a comment but I have left you one or two recently.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Ellie, I am from Canada. I started reading your blog right at the beginning. I found it by link from another blog. I have read from your first entry to present.
I am 36, I have 2 boys, I look like a mom (I have no idea how to describe how I look). I have ED-NOS and chronic PTSD. I tried blogging myself a while ago but if you look you can see I didnt do it for long.
I am sorry that I havent been any support for you in all of this time. There have been so many things I have wanted to say but I am not very good at being forward (read chicken shit). I do want you to know that I think you are amazing. You have managed to overcome things that would make most people lay down and give up. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that the title is now and then she recovered. I know that you are still struggling but you try, you try so hard. I would be proud to call you a friend and if you ever want to contact me with questions or you're bored and need some comic relief you can email me @ elisaedwards@hotmail.com. You can also find me on facebook under the same name as the email.
Again, sorry for seeming like a stalker, it just seems like SO MANY people adore you as well so you have become somewhat of a celebrity to me, I feel like I would be rather insignificant to you, but I am here, always reading.
Much love
Ellie
