Updates and support?
Hey everyone. It's been a while since I've updated on lj, so let's see...
I have a new job, which I start tomorrow morning, at TJ Maxx, a retail clothing store. It sounds so superficial, but I'm really excited about it because there's no uniform! Just a dress code and a name tag. I always feel like a little bit of my personality gets zapped away when I have to wear the same T-shirt everyday. It's also really cool because I get to work in retail, which I've been wanting to do for a while now. I hope I can do really well and advance to higher-paying retail jobs so I can eventually make money while I pursue a fabulous modern dance career! Woo! I'll let everyone know how my first day goes tomorrow evening.
What else? I move on August 1st to a new apartment in the Ravenswood area. I'll have a roommate....and a dishwasher! (I'm terrible at washing dishes by hand...seriously.) The place is beautiful...and next door to a Buddhist temple. Super cool, right?
And...well, I'm having a hard time with some eating disorder thoughts/behaviors right now. I'm not binge/purging, but I really only ate a small bag of popcorn yesterday and today I ate a little more, but...it's hard. I'm in no physical danger right now, it's just the thoughts mostly and certain things I've been noticing about myself. For instance, I skipped going to a ritual on Sat that I was really looking forward to because I was convinced I hadn't exercised enough to go that day. I'm withdrawing....and I don't like it.
So, I'm asking for some support! I don't need anything big, just some friendly words would do. (If you have the time)
Love to you all
