Just been for coffee and a walk with a friend and we exchanged Christmas gifts. It was so lovely to catch up with her.

My physical monitoring nurse ordered the blood tests that my doctor booked me in for at the end of the month to save me going back. I appreciate it since hopefully it may provide answers as to why I struggle to breath properly and get a bit of chest pain when laying down.

I made candles today. 2x mulled wine, 2 x apple and cinnamon, and 2x happy holidays. I’m giving them to my mum and sister’s.

I went to the garden centre and then Sainsbury’s with my sister this morning. Now I’m at mum and dad’s for a little bit. Can’t wait to get home and get all comfy, cosy and warm.

I can back from my session with my support worker today with a massive headache from anxiety! I pushed myself out of my comfort zone. Well, I was pushed out of my comfort zone to be more accurate. I still don’t know how I feel about it. #Stress #Discomfort #Anxiety

A year ago today, my dad and sister came to view my new home for me whilst I was in hospital. They FaceTimed me to give me a tour and sent me lots of photos to make up for the fact that I couldn’t be there.

Our dog is being euthanised tomorrow and I can’t stop tearing up over it. He has extensive bilateral elbow dysplasia. There’s no worthwhile treatment, he is in pain (which will only continue to get worse and worse) and he has no quality of life.

I’ve come out for a walk and stopped off for coffee. Feeling a bit breathless again today. Thankfully my doctors are investigating.

Editing my following list to make sure that the ED related accounts that I’m following are TRULY actively in recovery and inspiring / positive accounts. I need to adjust what I consume. It’s the only way I am going to recover. I’m doing the same across all social media.

Any decent ED Practitioner will know that weight restoration does not mean you're recovered.
