Hi all,
I haven't posted in a really long time, so I'm reposting an introduction and would love to meet you all. I'm looking for people who are struggling similarly to me. I'm active in my disorder right now, so for anything I post or discuss I don't recommend people follow my example. I need support though like all of us!
I am an old lady! 29 and married, but let me tell you as you get older it's harder to make friends. I've been bulimic since I was about 16 years old. I've considered meetings in the past, but a lot of my trauma is held in organized religion and that is the basic tenant of a lot of recovery. Plus, I'm in a complicated mental space where I don't necessarily want it and without that desire it doesn't work for me.
I hope to find a community here and some new people to discuss things with. I'll eventually link a blog where I'll be discussing everything to do with my disorder that doesn't make it here. Please reach out on this thread if you are looking for pals too! I like normal things: tattoos (my avatar is not me though my thigh is tattooed with an art nouveau tea cup), Schitt's Creek (the best show on or off television), reading (currently The Lost City of the Monkey God), and I work in theatre, so not a lot is happening right now for us.
Nice to meet you all, be well, and remember:
I used to do large scale musicals with union performers in a regional theatre in the Midwest. The last one I did was Oklahoma! and let me tell you the music on that one gets annoying quick! I work at a regional theatre in another state now as an Events Manager. They do mostly new work from playwrights that have not yet been produced. So we get a lot of out of town try outs of new work. Are you a theatre goer?
