Stress

This weekend has been one of the most stressful ones for me in a long time.

I'm just glad that the anxiety and stress have diminished and I'm at home, relaxing in the gorgeous weather, about to make dinner. What I am truly grateful for is the tools that I learned along the way to recovery, as otherwise, this was a time that I would have certainly reverted back to Bulimic behaviour.

Instead, I took many deep breaths, kept stretching and trying to quiet the mind, leaned on my family to support me and kept communicating my feelings and thoughts throughout. I now feel a million times better and content that that part of my life is over. It makes me realize that, in the long run, it's so much easier to deal with situations as they arise, rather than stuffing them down and numbing the emotions.

Above all, I am grateful for being recovered and not having to deal with bad circumstances AND an Eating Disorder, just bad circumstances. It will all work out if we can just breathe and deal with each moment as it comes.
