Sad

It's true.
I'm sad.
Actually, 'sad' doesn't really 'fit'... It's just the closest I can get.

I've wanted to write here but have been unable to find the voice / words.

Tonight I'm bad.
I've never binged like I have tonight.
I've been purging for an hour and still feel nowhere near empty.
I don't know how to cope.

Since my last post, I've been threatened with inpatient treatment and forced to have blood tests and ECGs.
I feel a mixture of horror and relief that the funding for inpatient treatment has been cut. I've been 'summoned' for treatment in a day clinic which opens in March.
I'm not sure I will make it that long.

My weight is an all time low.
Work have told me they will hold my job for me if I go away for any period of recovery.

I know I can't 'succeed' here.
I need to go away.

Half of me fantasises about a Greek island for a couple of months.
Half of me believes I will have die like this.

I need to get away but don't have a safe place to go TO.
Where in the world can I go to try and get better?

I'm desperate and frightened.
I've never been this lost.
