break

[iamarock]

I need a break from my online life... need to feel more real and authentic to my life that consist of flesh and blood. That's one of my goals, to develop my real life. I need to do this or else I'll drive myself back into a world of isolation which will result in depression and anxiety... and ED relapse.

Kim, I'll miss reading your wonder-filled words, but am glad you are doing everything to help yourself. YOu are stronger than me. take care and courage

I agree with Fate!
Shaggy, you are stronger than you realize... look at how far you've come and you continue to fight. Belief in yourself!

I got the sock pattern from here:

And this site has great step by step knitting instructions with photos!

Well, I'll admit to mixed feelings. Spending less time online is probably a good idea. Even if you already show evidence of pursuing a more full life offline. Gonna be hard getting used to not seeing photos of scarves and things. Take good care of yourself. I'm gonna miss you.

Look at my horoscope from yesterday:
You have recently faced up to a big responsibility, defied an old fear and learned a lot more about just how powerful you can be. Despite feeling a little shaken from the struggle, you are in a great position to make strides forward.

This is meant to be!

Your knittables are so yummy!

It is completely, totally okay that you purged, it happens. You're okay with it, right? You've got to be okay with it.

I'll miss you, but I'm glad you know where your head is at and I agree that staying away from online would be highly beneficial at this point. Now and then, let us know that you're okay, yeah? ((((((rockie)))))) Lots of love to you!
