The majority of my life has been consumed by Eating Disorders (no pun intended). I've dealt with severe Anorexia from the age of 13-19, recovered, and now struggle with Bulimia. Depression, Anxiety, and Cutting have plagued me throughout this time, also.

In the midst of everything, I managed to salvage joy from a career as a competitive, championship Irish Dancer. I've also been a runner for quite some time, and was once very passionate towards it. I'm not a stupid person. Although, inspite of my intellect, I struggled to stay in school. This was majorly due to medical complications. I just got out of treatment (again) and therefor, am not in college at the moment. I am very ashamed of my lack of progress with furthering my education, as well as my failure to pursue work. I know that I have potential, but am afraid that I'll never be able to use it. My issues seem to continuosly hinder my abilities.

I've always been a loner by nature, because no one really understands what I'm going through. That being said, I'm not fond of this lifestyle. I have found one person though that I can relate too, and I love them dearly. I just hope that I donnot lose them amongst the slipstream of my self-destruction.

I enjoy a good workout, great music, and ofcourse, writing. Thus far, I've written hundreds of poems, in addition a novel deatiling my recovery from Anorexia, and a Poetry book, revolving around the tailspin that would classify the past few years of my life. i am finally working on getting my writing published, and am determined to do so, because I feel it's important for other people to know the turmoil that Eating Disorders cause.
