Hello there my lovely readers. After a long few months, my little blog is back up and running. A lot has happened since October which was my last post - and this is what this post is going to be all about, a little catch-up.
SO, as I said, since October, so much has happened in my life, which unfortunately knocked me back from what I love. Basically, if you're a reader of my blog then you will know that I have been battling an eating disorder for quite a few years now - and in October, just as I was getting my life back on track, I relapsed.
I'm definitely not one to brag about my illnesses but since this blog has almost acted as a place for me to vent to in the past, I have decided to let all of you amazing people know. I never imagined that my ED could've come back any worse, but my god - it did. It consumed my life and my body. That's mainly the reason why I stopped my blogging, and instead filled my days with endless exercise and calorie counting. It began to ruin my life yet again, sending me back into the evil spiral of anorexia.
Over christmas, it really took it's toll and I couldn't even bring myself to manage Christmas Dinner, instead eating a very low calorie ready meal, which not only upset my family, but it showed people that I had really spiralled out of control. Eventually, in February, I was sectioned under the Mental Health Act, and admitted into a specialist eating disorder unit in Stafford, which was 3 hours away from my home.
I spent 5 long months in there, where I made amazing friends, and have since come on the furthest I have ever been in my recovery. Not only am I happier and much heathier, I have so much in life to look forwards too. Since being admitted, I have reached a healthy weight for my age and height. If you follow my instagram, you will have seen all of my updates on my treatment. Last week, I was finally discharged from Wedgwood, and I am ready to take life and grasp it whilst I can.
So, enough of the serious business, as you're probably all feeling rather sad and gloomy, but I have something that could cheer you up. I will be trying my best to post on my blog as much as I can. As of next month, I will be pretty busy as I have college coming up, as well as many opportunities that I am feeling rather optimistic about.
Anyway, since my last post - I have had many wonderful things happen despite my hospital stay, so they will be shown below...
I made a pretty amazing best friend, who also loves beauty - and has stuck by me through everything. Thank you my Natty Lou.
My Prom was also a huge highlight for me, and was an unforgettable day. I will be doing a more indepth post about it very soon, so keep your eyes peeled...
I also left school, which was mega exciting, but also realllyyyy sad. My school has been a big help to me, and met my three best friends there - I'm looking at you Natalie, Katlin and Tylae...
So that's enough updates for now, but I am sure to be posting again very soon. For more regular updates and pictures, you should follow my instagram @lipsticksandcandlesticks.
Bye for now my beautiful readers!
Lots of love and sparkles,
Yasmin xx
