Good Evening lovelies,
I thought I would give a quick (ish) update on where I'm at currently. This should hopefully be easy enough for me to do, as now I've started writing a daily journal to keep track of my recovery. I'm doing this with the hope that in a few years time, I can look back on this part of my life and realise how far I'll have hopefully come.
This month, I set myself a goal of trying to see things in a more positive light. This month has so far been quite tricky for me, however, I am still continuously trying to be more positive. Naturally, there have been days where I have not been able to do this, but that's okay, and I'm not going to dwell on it. I've just got to "just keep swimming" (Dory, 2003).
Recently, I've been really struggling to sleep, which has been a right pain. Currently, I just cannot seem to get to sleep and have awake until 1.30/2.30am. This impacts me massively the next day, as I am obviously a lot more tired than usual, which makes me a lot more sensitive. This then generally leads to negative thinking. My negative thinking patterns have mostly been around my body (body dysmorphia), and calories. I thought I had got out of the habit of counting calories if I'm perfectly honest, but I'm finding it very hard to not think of the calories in things.
On a more positive note, I finally booked my flights out to South Africa for my treatment and will be jetting off on the 7th January, so actually very soon. This is quite scary, but actually, a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders because I know that I'm FINALLY going to be getting some proper help from experts. The treatment cost is unfortunately quite a lot of money and my family cannot afford to pay for it. However, one of my closest friends from university is doing the most incredible thing for me. In December, he is walking from Southampton to London, to raise money for my treatment. When he said that he wanted to do this for me, I was genuinely in shock, as this is huge. I never really realised that someone would want to help me out that much, but he does, so for that, I am eternally grateful! I will post the link to his 'just giving' page below.
