Hey there!
I know it's been a while since I've last posted anything on this platform and I apologize for that. With this post I simply wanted to clear up a few things and get something off my chest which has been bothering me for quite a while.

First of all I'd like to mention that I'm not too sure whether I'll ever finish this story. When I started editing I had a clear goal in mind regarding the direction I wanted to take this story into and was focused on making a story that is as close to reality as possible. Looking back I'm still not too satisfied so if I do pick this work back up I'll probably start from scratch once again. Or at least partially so.

Next I'd like to briefly mention the reason for my long absence. As a disclaimer I'd like to mention that this is by no means a cry for attention and if you're sensitive to this kind of topic I'd advise you to skip over it. It's just something really close to my heart and I feel the need to (somewhat) anonymously share my experiences because I finally feel ready to do so.

You see for the past year I've been battling an eating disorder and it has taken a large toll on both my physical and emotional wellbeing. It started around this period last year with the idea of loosing weight because I've always been extremely self-conscious about my body (like most people). At first it started out good and I did really great. My only fault was doing it all on my own without consulting a professional. In the end I dropped 25kg (approximately 55 pounds) in 4 months and became afraid of eating basically anything. On top of that I trained like crazy to the point that even my heart threatened to give out on me. I came extremely close one time and there were mentions of getting residential treatment at a facility. Although at that point it was probably my best course of action they did not have enough space for me and thus I was placed on a waiting list. By the time they could I was already eighteen and doing a whole lot better so I promptly refused. Currently I'm finally back at a healthy weight, my period has started up again and I've started socializing again. Something I completely cut off during that period. I still visit my doctor and psychologist every two weeks though and if I'm completely honest I even have eating frenzy's every now and then. It scares me but together with my gym coach I've started up a healthy training program that's helping me gain back some muscle. I'm truly proud of the things I've accomplished and I wanted to share my story here because I'm sure there are people out there that share similar problems. To those people I just want to say: "Don't give up no matter how long it takes! If I can do it so can you!"
I'm currently a college student in het first year of Social Re adaptation Sciences. This implies that I'll end up in the youth (mental health) wellbeing sector once I graduate. My goal is to support people who've undergone hardships and I'm putting in all the work I can! Although I still have days where I simply don't eat, my friends are there to support me through it all!

The following content might be harsh for some so I advise you to proceed with caution. I'm simply putting it out there as a motivation!

This is my body somewhere along my lowest weight.

And this is me now! I'm happy, health,  full of energy and most of all proud of myself despite the struggles I still face on a daily basis!
