Dear Blog Readers,
How you think of your ED? Is it external or internal? Is it a monster to slay, or a friend to love? Is it a villain to battle, or an ally to protect? Is it a toxic relationships, or someone that needs to be nurtured? People experience and envision their EDs in different ways. Early in my journey, I was a warrior battling my inner demons, fighting against this illness. In my case, losing. Later, I began to think of ED as a child who needed to be nurtured and taken care of. When I began to take care of that part of me, the symptoms began to fade. I gave that child what they needed, and that child learned how to take care of them self. In this post, Ariel describes her ED as a friend inside her head.
Be kind to yourself, and remember to nourish your body, mind, and spirit.

” my new friend” By Ariel
As I watch of what was I
I find myself lost in what am i
Despite the pain by ed
Why am i wanting that ungrateful friend
Am i sad or scared of my head
That i will find my ed again
As time moves on
I find a new friend inside my head
And I forget why I loved ed
I begin to live in color
And have peace inside my head
As time moves on
I no longer miss ed
And find myself loving my new friend
The one who never heard of ed
