Inspired by this year\u2019s Mental Health Awareness Week, a previous client has written a poem about loneliness and shares her hope for those in eating disorder recovery.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To you whose heart aches,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

who is tiered,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

who cannot see a way out,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

who was hurt again,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

who was shot down again,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

who didn\u2019t mean to slip up,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

who wasn\u2019t caught when you did\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To you who is misunderstood,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

who is holding back quivering tears,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

who cried in a quiet space,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To you who is not OK ,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

who is overwhelmed,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

who feels stuck,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

who is drowning in worry<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To you who is terrified & concerned for someone dear\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To you facing a difficult decision<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To you who feels deeply helpless,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

who is fighting a relentless inner battle,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

whose mind is heavy with struggle,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

whose thoughts are becoming darker<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To you who cannot speak,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

who has no one to speak to,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

who spoke but it backfired,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

who spoke but was not heard<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To you who is fearful of letting anyone in,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To you who feels like a failure<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To you who is scared today,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

who is scared of tomorrows,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To you who feels lost,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To you who has lost<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To you who is living in fright,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

who is on the brink,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

who is trembling with anxiousness or panic,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

who feels imprisoned by a habit<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

who feels disheartened\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To you who is fragile<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To you who hides your fragile<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To you who really needs a tight caring hug<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

to All of YOU \u2026 whatever your \u2018lonely\u2019 looks like.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mind can be a lonesome place when inner struggles have banished light. These words are an attempt to reach into those lonely spaces with the whisper \u2018there\u2019s light outside\u2019<\/strong> and caring people (such as loved ones or support teams like Orri) are around with hopeful light, waiting to help you navigate through darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please try believe and trust in that. These words are to wish everyone battling lonely<\/em><\/strong> (in all its shapes and forms) comfort, strength, courage<\/strong> and to wish everyone glimmers of hope that shine<\/strong> in abundance to guide you through<\/em> to recovery<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, these words are to say: please remember that no matter how lonely<\/em><\/strong> it may seem at times, t<\/strong>here is hopeful light beyond any darkness; <\/strong>which like the stars and the moon in the night sky are there ALWAYS<\/em><\/strong>, even when you cannot see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are so grateful to work with such inspiring clients who courageously show up for their recovery every day. The community is so special and we are all in this, together.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
