About Me

Hi, my name is Michelle. I'm a single mother to Andrew (10) and Ashelyn (6). I completed college in December of 2007 obtaining a degree in Chemical Dependency Counseling. I'm currently in a very new relationship with a wonderful man. My goal is to go back to college and earn my Bachelor's in Social Work; possibly my Master's. I would also love to get my CASAC (credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor) someday. I'm discovering a new happiness in my life and the only thing I'm waiting for is to find a job so I can continue my career. I love my field of work and enjoy every minute of it. The rest you can find on my "complete profile". Any questions, feel free to ask :-)

I'm feeling...

I don't know what to do

I'm starting to get anxious. I'm due to be discharged from the ED tx program towards the end of next week. I totally don't feel ready, but, I don't have a choice though. I'm being discharged due to my insurance. They won't cover anymore tx, even if they say I need it. All of my ambivalence over this is inadvertently causing me to want to restrict, even though I know that's not a good, healthy behavior. Within the structured environment I can do it. But, without that structure, I'm scared to death. I'm afraid that I'll drop right back into my old behaviors and start restricting, even though I can see that I looked horribly thin when I did that. I'm very fearful and very afraid, even though I have the skills to do what I need to do. I'm scared to death, literally and my fear is very real.
