I haven’t mentioned it specifically on the blog but if you follow me on social media you’ll know that for the last two months (and counting) I have been signed off of work as anorexia once again held a tight grip on my brain. Things are getting brighter now and I’m making progress but it hasn’t been an easy ride- forget sitting in front of daytime TV and doing nothing, fighting any mental illness is an exhausting battle and one I very much need a break from.

The other week my Mum and I were talking about taking a break, to escape from it all for a while. A week in the Spanish sunshine would be perfect but equally we’d settle for checking in to a hotel– perhaps in London for a theatre show and shopping extravaganza, or perhaps we’d stick closer to home and hop on the train to Bath and indulge in some pampering at the Roman Baths and potter about the cobbled streets.
Either way I do feel in dire need of a break from reality at the moment, but I know to get the best from that I need to be as well as possible- and so once again the journey to recovery begins in earnest and this time it really will be for the last time. As I approach the grand old age of 30 next year I feel far too old and like life is far too short to let this take any more of me.
And I’ll use this post to send a public thank you to everyone who has offered support and encouragement over the last few months- from my friends and family to the tweets and blog comments. From the fantastic professionals supporting my care to my workplace who have been beyond understanding and supportive. I am humbled and I am grateful.
I hope you are feeling better and do know that we are all thinking of you.
