10 years and counting

10 years ago : I was living in Liverpool, struggling with my MSc and with my flatmates habit of having raucous parties weekly and loudly singing melancholic Greek songs (daily). I was deeply deeply depressed walking a precipice so steep that it's only by the grace of God that I managed to keep putting one foot in front of the other. And while it ( Read more... )

Thank you! I am equal parts nervous and excited to start (I will be working in an inpatient unit for kids with eating disorders).

How amazing. You will be fabulous and I hope it's everything you want it to be.

I've been watching 'don't call me crazy' and one of the kids on that has an ED. I just keep wondering where her therapy is (and hoping she is getting some they aren't telling us about)

I apologize in advance for the long and not necessarily relevant comment, but heck, this is a good a time as any other to delurk, I suppose? It's funny, though I've been very long in LJ, I only found you about two years ago through a comment about motherhood you wrote on NothingButBonfires. I was struggling with the same ambivalence at the time ("should I have children? Will I be a good mother? Will my life be ruined?") and your comment was so beautiful, so intense and honest, that I had to follow you. Also, your story gave me hope that even if motherhood didn't come easily to me, it would probably still be ok. And what do you know: two years on I am the happy mother of an intense, crazy, adorable toddler. His infancy wasn't easy but we've found our rhythm (going back to work helped) and I'm happier than ever.

Anyway, long way to say: love your writing :).
