I have been writing this blog for a fair while now, over a year and finally I have taken the first step towards what I set out to do. This morning I sat in the waiting room of my local medical practice concentrating on breathing slowly while children played and a mother fed her new born baby. I knew I had to go through with it despite my nerves. I blurted out that I'd had bulimia since I was a teenager and it was time to do something about it.
It feels so good knowing I sat there and said it by myself. The doctor was wonderful, he listened and understood how hard it was asking for help (I did not expect that!) He made me a referral and ordered blood tests which I'll have next Tuesday; now all I can do is wait.
It's taken me a bit of time to get to this place where I'm ready to recover but finally I'm no longer simply talking about recovery, I'm working my way there.
