So.. who am I? I'm nineteen and was in school before I had to take a medical leave. I have an older brother by fourteen months and younger brother by five years. I live with them and both my parents, but I haven't always.
Quick Sum Up of the History...
Soon after I turned eighteen I left home and lived with a friend from Jan. 2010 to late July 2010. I eventually got back in touch with my family, but moved into college shortly after. I went downhill kind of quickly and was admitted to a psych hospital on October 29, 2010. I stayed there for what seemed like a year! My doctor there didn't want me to leave, although I was on the right medicines, because of my eating disorder. I was sent from there to Renfrew on December 7. I stayed there for a month and came home the following January. I was seeing a therapist, before he dropped me, and haven't gotten back into seeing one. Also I had a short stint in a partial program for EDs this past summer. Its hard for me to say exactly when my disorder began. I've had food texture issues literally since I started eating solid foods (which I guess is technically a disorder) and remember being very aware of my weight as a kid. The end of my junior year in high school I got mono and first started losing weight (April 2009). I was officially diagnosed with an eating disorder in January 2010 after an ER visit. Initially it was not specified, then bulimia during the time I moved out, and at Renfrew and in the partial program it was anorexia with purging subtype.
Things I like to do in my free time...
knitting, reading, playing violin, running, horseback riding, being around animals and children, smelling lotion/soaps/candles from Bath and Body Works
I am in love with Modern Family. Its SO good. AH!
Medicine is my passion. I'm an EMT and CNA. I read textbooks about it for fun.
I guess that's all for now? Ask me anything you'd like to know. I feel like I've introduced myself so many times, I forget what I need to say.
