Restoring Laura | laurakts
https://laurakts.wordpress.com/2014/07/17/restoring-laura
July 17, 2014. Recovery for me and probably for others is a lot more complex than people first imagine. There is always the ‘oh, so you’re recovered now? 8217; Actually no I didn’t and no I don’t! Body pump is a killer and I cried throughout some classes because I was in so much pain, so tired etc, but still went because I was ‘enjoying’ them. Anorexia enjoyed them, Laura certainly didn’t! Plus, I have the energy to run a little now and she can’t catch up! The positives of recovery. Fill in your details ...

The positives of recovery | laurakts
https://laurakts.wordpress.com/2014/07/11/the-positives-of-recovery
The positives of recovery. July 11, 2014. Recovery doesn’t come without it’s irrational moments, panic, anxiety, fear, ‘omg I can’t do this anymore moments’ etc. However, I have my feet firmly in recovery and, most of the time, I wouldn’t change it for the world. This blog is based around the things about being in recovery that I LOVE. 1) I get excited when I randomly decide I want a chocolate bar and subsequently win a free one. However, I then get too carried away with life and forget to redeem it!

8220;Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart”. July 20, 2014. 8220;Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart” – Kahlil Gibran. So I came across this quote this morning and ever since reading it, it has stuck with me and I have been thinking about it. So, here goes! It’s so true isn’t it? We all have our own perceptions of what is beautiful, don’t we? What I may think is beautiful, someone else may disagree. So, beauty is always shown in the media as something that is...

It’s interesting how the same thing can appear so differently depending on your mindset. August 10, 2014. I wanted to cry for her. I had to remind myself that this girl was me and this is really what happened. This was how unwell I had got. This person on the photo was not someone else, it was me. 8220;Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart”. The hidden losses that come with anorexia →. October 17, 2014 at 8:16 pm.

What a year 2016 will be… | laurakts

What a year 2016 will be…. January 15, 2016. So it has been quite a while since I last wrote a blog post. I guess life has got in the way! I mean, I love writing, but I just feel snowed under sometimes with the amount of other things I have to do! It feels like a good time to write though as this year is going to be massive for me. 2) I get married this year! Picking someone up who needed some ‘work doing’ on her! Fantastic. I have never been in such a good place. I am physically healthy! I am, for once ...

https://laurakts.wordpress.com/2014/05/11/the-depression-battle
May 11, 2014. Now, I have planned a luxurious holiday away with my boyfriend which I am really looking forward to. I have a place secured at university to study a post graduate diploma in mental health nursing and I am slowly battling my demons hourly and winning! I have tough days. I have good days. I can admit though that choosing to fight is the hardest decision I have had to make, but it is most definitely worth every tiny battle. One thought on “ The depression battle.

When things can only get better… | laurakts
https://laurakts.wordpress.com/2014/12/30/when-things-can-only-get-better
When things can only get better…. December 30, 2014. Moving on from there, because I am not going to lie, it’s extremely difficult thinking about that time in my life. Things can change. They can get better. Considering I didn’t want to even live to see 2013, now I am sat with a gorgeous pink sapphire and diamond ring on my finger talking to my fiancé about our wedding in 2016. Things certainly CAN get better, no matter how long and black that tunnel may appear to be. December 30, 2014 at 8:01 pm. You ar...

The hidden losses that come with anorexia. October 17, 2014. So when you have anorexia, it’s just the weight you lose isn’t it? You know, anorexia is all about the weight. It is all about wanting to look like Miss X because she looks amazing and Miss Y because she is really skinny etc. That’s right isn’t it? That’s what anorexia is? It’s not a serious mental health issue that has the highest mortality rate than any other MH illness? It’s just about losing weight…. I lost so many things through anorexia.

Dear Anorexia… | laurakts
https://laurakts.wordpress.com/2014/07/08/dear-anorexia
July 8, 2014. I believe we have some communication issues going on here. When did I ever give you the message recently that it was ok to come just into my life whenever you felt like it? I HATE you so much. I HATE that your stupid little ideas and thoughts are still in my head. I HATE that it’s so much effort all of the time to fight you off. I HATE that you’re so persistent. When someone hates you so much, why do you want to be around them? The positives of recovery →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.
