After no sleep, an emotional breakdown landed me in the hospital, and I'm home today after 18 days. I'd hoped to go inpatient for Ed from there, but couldn't find a facility offering scholarships soon enough. I learned I'm Bi-polar, PTSD, OCD, and have Anxiety disorder on top of anorexia and bulemia. Say all that ten times fast. I'm still getting used to the medications, and my levels are still low. But I'm better than I was three weeks ago. The meds they have me on for the anxiety are working great, and I now know what it feels like to be calm.

I was able to talk with a number of people about the Ed, and my Mom and significant other now know as well.

On to phase II--find a program that offers scholarships so I can get the treatment I need.
