I failed at 7 videos in 7 days for mental health awareness week because I had my OWN mental health (and physical health) crisis.

In this video I talk about the crazy depression/anxiety I went through over the last couple of weeks and my ongoing struggles with PMS and PMDD, how years of an eating disorder impacted my stress levels, my hormones, my thyroid, me energy levels, finances and all of the DEBT it left me with.

This video should be an anti-advertisement for eating disorders. In the short term you may lose lots of weight and be really skinny, but eventually you will HAVE to gain that weight - and probably more - back (otherwise you will die or stay sick forever).

I am still paying back the debts for everything I did to my body for 14 years. Eating disorders are no joke. You may not think you are doing damage to yourself by starving, puking, taking laxatives, diuretics and over-exercising (I did all of the above in spades) but underneath the surface, you are setting yourself up for years of problems.

I don't regret anything because if I didn't go through what I went through, I would be in a very different place today and I am grateful for everything that I learned. However the health problems make my life extremely difficult sometimes.

If you are struggling... Reach out!
