It sounds so slushy and I'm not know for my slushiness,
but it's so good to be here with people supporting each other in their chosen plans.
I felt so alone during maintenance. As if I didn't belong anywhere. The CD forums were only useful to me to remind me of my journey. Happy to support others, but I didn't feel there was anyone who could understand what I was feeling.
Joining other forums didn't fill that hole either. People don't really understand VLCDs and with eating disorders aswell, I felt like I was always justifying CD, which gave me no room to relax and call for help.
It's like a load has been lifted from my shoulders. I felt I was such a failure because I was frightened of failing, yet felt that this should be easy. I was consumed with guilt. Now I feel free...just knowing people go through similar thoughts to my own has been such a relief.
I feel at home here
Wish this forum had been around earlier in my journey, but better late than never eh ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thanks everyone for just being so nice.
Special thanks to Mini and Pierce for starting this great group.
