At my therapy session last night, my therapist and I talked about separating Chelsea from ED, and it was really helpful to me. I think I get so caught up in my eating disorder that I even forget who I really am. I was also thinking that I don't know a lot about some of you that isn't related to ED. I know there have been posts on here before that talked about who we are, but I thought it might be fun to do again. So here's ten things about me. Feel free to post ten things about you too :)
1. I LOVE to write. It's a huge passion of mine. I enjoy poetry and short stories, but I also love writing articles and essays too.
2. I am in school to be a marriage and family therapist and work at an internship that helps families referred by the Department of Youth and Children Services. I absolutely love being a therapist and my internship has been amazing.
3. I've been married for six months to a wonderful guy named Karl. He's stuck with me through a lot of rough times and I can't imagine a better guy for me.
4. I drive a Volkswagen Bug, which I am absolutely obsessed with.
5. I have three nephews and two nieces, who I am very close to.
6. I'm a big geek. I try to read a journal article every day, ranging from topics like evolutionary psychology to politics. Kind of weird, I know!
7. I love music! I have a very eclectic taste too.
