you dont go to school?
I’m still “in school” but not physically. I’m part of a hospital/homebound program with my school, and have been since I was actually sent to a hospital in September. (TMI?)

Freshman year
I hid it so well before. Could I hide it as well now?
Labelling my blog
I am not a recovery blog.
I am not an ED blog.
You know what kind of blog this one? Who the hell knows, I don’t even know
I have a…mental illness. A few. And while it doesn’t define me yes it does, it is all but literally consuming my life right now.I have no life. I know that sounds cliche and lame, but here’s the evidence:
- I don’t go to school
- I only have a few friends in the area and honestly, the ED thing is awkward
- I have social anxiety as it is
- I have chosen to let my life be taken over by the happenings of the past three or so (
FUCKINGCRAZY) years.
So, it seems that I am running a recovery blog. But alas, I am not. I reblog anything really. I follow a lot of health and recovery blogs, so I reblog a lot of health related stuff.
But I reblog other stuff, too; if I can think about music or books I love that day, you can bet they’ll be on my dash.
The point is: I just don’t want you to be disappointed. This is a personal blog..best way to put it. Kayla (odolnost) inspired me because even though my ED is a big part of my life right now, I don’t want to dedicate everything to it. It’s like, “Mckenna’s here, somewhere! She’s right over here! Right behind ED, you see?”

I'm not really sorry that I'm not happy all of the time.
Recovery isn’t a joke.
It’s not easy.
It’s DEFINITELY not fun.
It’s not some easy-to-navigate gravel road.
No, you’ve gotta take an axe and cut down your own goddamn trees and make your own goddamn path because there sure as hell isn’t one that’s already cut out for you.
I should not be allowed in a bookstore with a wallet
Or an art store.
Or a yarn store.
Anywhere with pretty shiny things is a bad choice. I guess I shouldn’t be allowed in bead stores either.
Or a music store. (Including but not limited to places that sell CDs and places that sell guitars.)
Don’t let me loose in Forever 21 with a credit card. I’ll come out empty-handed, overcome with guilt, but man, I’ll just have too good a time.
Numbers that don’t define you:
- The amount of pounds you weigh
- The circumference of your waist
- The number of people you’ve had sex with
- Your age
- The number of scars on your body
- How many calories you ate today
- Your GPA
- The amount of money in your wallet
Numbers that do define you:

Trying to tell ED to shut the hell up. NO, I don’t have to purge because my stomach feels uncomfortably bloated.
Some people went out of their way tonight to make me feel extra special and be extra nice to me. I’m not going to ruin the night by purging. Nope. Nuh-uh. Not a chance. *Keep telling yourself that, Mckenna*
I spent all afternoon a couple days ago scrolling through your blog. I remember following you awhile ago, and I think the follow was because of a Next to Normal/Rent tag, but I have come to the realization of how much I appreciate everything you post, even the heartbreak. You have become one of my favourite people that I follow, and I want you to know how much I look forward to seeing your icon on my dashboard. I know it's really not much, but I hope this little message puts a smile on your face
…You have no idea. I saw this in my inbox, and I thought to myself, “Hmm. I haven’t seen this name before” and after reading this…Wow, I really just don’t know what to say. This is just such a sweet message. I can be such a RENThead and such, but I obviously do have my issues, and I just feel so…grateful that you can accept me as I am, problems and all.
“Take me for what I am; who I was meant to be!”
Sorry, had to fit that in there. I can’t imagine someone taking the time to scroll through my blog, but damn, I almost started crying reading this message. Sorry if I’m getting a bit redundant.
And you can message me ANY TIME if you want. If you want to talk about musicals or other stuff, just let me know :)
Again, thank you so much. This really made my day. <3
EDIT: I hope this puts a smile on YOUR face: I was just sitting here, all but growling at my night snack, and then I read THIS. You are just so nice for sending this. I’ve said that so many times, haven’t I? Well, it’s true. I am lucky to have such a nice person message me. *Gah, I’ll just stop now*
A lovely girl (promo)
My friend Lily is recovering/recovered from an eating disorder. She was entered into treatment at the age of 11 and she is a very kind person. If you want to ask her any more questions, I’m sure she’d love to answer. She wants to motivate others as much as she can because she’s AWESOME.
