Surprise..

Good evening!

Wow, this has been crazy somehow ... I think to tell the whole story would end in a really long and probably confusing post so let me just shorten it all a bit: a girl in my English class has an Eating Disorder as well and told me today! It's not anorexia but bulimia.. She told me she had realized that it can't go on like this and asked where I 'had help' (at that time she didn't know about my ED, we had just talked about therapists becasue she said she needed someone to talk to and I had mentioned that I was going to one) and I was like .. 'Uhm, my therapist is specialised on one ... special topic and I don't know if that would be the right thing for you (there she hadn't said something about bulimia yet)' and she was like 'Mhm, why?' and then after shortly thinking about it I said 'It's for eating disorders.' And then she said 'Well.. I think that's .. appropriate.' I was really .. surprised .. not the right word but I can't think of a better one. Then I finally told her who my therapist is and gave her the phone number. We talked till the end of the break and she said she had bulimia but that her parents didn't know anything and I took heart and told her about my Eating Disorder!
It was a good feeling when she thanked me and I'm absolutely sure that my ED is safe because she won't tell anyone! And - except on here - I won't tell anybody about her situation.

The following school lessons I was thinking about it a lot .. I got the impression that there recently are a lot of people with eating disorders! Something must be terribly wrong in our society nowadays that loads of people get psychically sick, right?!

Well, I'm gonna eat supper now (yeah, really late but that somehow hasn't improved the last time ... :/ ) and watch a film or series! :)

Good night, have a nice weekend!
