i’m not sure why, but something broke yesterday evening and i’m feeling both more positive emotionally and also stronger and able to fight my ed. i was sort of daydreaming and i came up with a new story world of pirates that sail on the outskirts of our dreams taking anything valuable we dream about before we wake up and it disappears. and all of a sudden i had a passion for writing the story and knew i needed to eat something so i’d be able to focus enough to get it down. and from there things have continued on a much more even keel than the black hold of disorder/depression i had been falling into lately.
i’m sure i’ll have many more ups and downs, but i was really desperate for an up, i was sinking fast for a few days there. *whew* i’m just relieved to feel a little better.
today i’ve done well with food! no throwing up so far (yay) and overall i feel like this is a fight i can win, and i want to win it!

Vanessa,
I was so happy to see this post. You have been very quiet and I was praying that there was not something wrong.
Looking forward to hearing about those “Dream Pirates” but you know me the uptight Christian lady….a little nervous about the elephant sex, but you know….sometimes that’s just the way you “creative” minds work.
Comment by Mrs. B April 9, 2008 @ 8:39 pmmrs b, hehe. i wondered if that elephant sex dream might give you pause! but, honestly, the idea that the elephant looked like it was trying to ride a tricycle HAD to make you smile- i don’t care who you are, that was priceless.
the girl in the story is an innocent. for her all those sex dreams are just the boring parts in between the real adventure.

Oh happy day! To know you have had some peace and high spirits today, is a joy.
Comment by Che April 9, 2008 @ 9:40 pmAs you know, the sex drive is the drive to create. Keep birthing the stories.
