Blogging about my life, passions, experiences with mental illness (Body Dysmorphia Disorder) and more
TW: Eating Disorder, Suicide In my last posts I talked about asking for help when I was struggling. One of the major reasons I sought help was because I just gotten out of a disastrous relationship and I was not coping well. The relationship was all sorts of unhealthy and because of it, I started… Continue reading Wake Up Call
Hello! It has been awhile since I posted a blog and I have some new followers, so I thought I would take some time to talk about a time when I reached out for help. I have always had extreme body image issues and I would engage in unhealthy coping mechanisms. I had mood swings… Continue reading Asking for Help
Today I feel betrayed. Not by someone I know, but from something that I've known my whole life. My brain. My thoughts. My obsessions. In fact, I'm rather livid. I'm mad that I can't get a hold of my disorder most days. I have missed out on so many things because of obsessions that keep… Continue reading Betrayed
The past few months I have been thinking about powerful women and how society treats them.

I have had some members of my family reach out to me… Continue reading Still a Process

After speaking with my therapist, this is an irrational thought that I… Continue reading My Own Worst Enemy
I’m 27 years old. Three and a half years ago, I finally found out why I behave irrationally. I have been diagnosed with Body Dysmorphia Disorder. Some days I can cope with it, other days I pretend I don’t have it. I’ll refuse to acknowledge its existence...hence, the irrational behavior. When I was little, my… Continue reading Why Now?
