I will be on and off today and tomorrow and the day after Thanksgiving. So for the next 3 days. I am still very up and down but it is not my ED causing me the problems right now. If someone needs support I can try to give my best advice for the holiday. I know that this is a very hard time of the year. Feel free to post something here to this thread, PM me or even find me in chat and ask to talk. I will try to be here as much as I can.

I am wanting to support people though this really hard time of being around friends, family and food. So know that I am here for you. I will do my best to support you all.

Do remember I am not a professional but just another member. I don't have the answers but I can give you advice that I have tried.

I am here for you though this thread, PM or in chat. Remember if in chat just let me know you need to talk and I will make a room to try to support you!

what a good idea. Doll ! Thanks!

I was invited for T dinner from one of my clients . I struggled a bit because I always feel like if Im asked I have to perform in some way and stay for a long time . My energy level is down I reay feel like just being alone.

Id rater go there then to the AA marthon where there is a crowd and I never really feel like I fit in there . Eating disorders is not what they are about . .

I also don't want to run into a person I met last christmas .

So Im gonna bake something very healthy but good tonight and set a time limit of 2 hours to spend at thier house. . Her daugher is bringing thier 4 year old Golden with them .

Im gonna try to do some affirmations like .

All the love I need is inside me .

I don't have to be anything for any one .

I can be myself .

I can go within any time I need to. space out if I need to .

Im good at bringing others out.

Sharing will come naturally.

Cancer is not a subject open for discussion.

If I feel Im gonna get emotional I can excuse myself and take a walk.

*************************************
I hope you all have a short sweet T dinner .

make an exit plan for your selves and go see a movie .

Take care of you !

Thanks Doll,

I hope your T dinner with your client went well auroralso. What a wonderful list of affirmations....& self guidelines to follow. It is so good when we are able to look out after ourselves when we feel like we want to go somewhere we aren't really comfortable with.

Love the care you are giving yourself......you are a wonderful role model.....thank you for sharing these thoughts, ideas, & plans for caring for yourself.
