Residential Treatment for Liz

  Hi, I’m Liz, and I suffer from depression, anxiety, OCD, trichotillomania, suicidal ideations, and an eating disorder. While these are things I have struggled with for the better part of my life, I am currently at a breaking point. I need a higher level of care and supervision than I am currently getting. I need to be able to go to a safe place to gain the tools to build myself a healthy life.

  Here is a little bit about my journey over the past few years...

  Two and a half years ago I fell apart. I had pretended for so long that I was able to carry the weight of my mental health, pretended that I could handle my depression, pretended that I wasn’t that sick. But things have a way of catching up with you. I went into a residential treatment center and came out the other side with a new view on life and a renewed strength to continue to carry on. I learned so much about myself and so many coping skills to help me move forward; and for a while I was doing really well.

  But I was still white knuckleing my way through life. I had a tenuous hold on controlling my self harm and eating disorder that just wasn’t sustainable, and the underlying issues that cause these actions require more attention than I can currently give them.  Over the last six months the hold I had has slowly crumbled and I am losing control of my life.  I have been highly active in my eating disorder and self harm behaviors and my depression and anxiety have begun to affect my everyday life. 

So what am I asking of you? I am asking for anylittle bit of support you can give me. The programs that I am looking at aren’t cheap and I can’t do it on it on my own. I am looking to go into an eating disorder center, followed by a mental health focused program to really help me get control over both the negative actions that I use to cope and the underlying reasons for those actions. I want to move forward with my life in a healthy way that doesn’t negatively impact the people around me. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and thank you for any support you can give.
