Hello dolls! I hope the weekend was lovely for you! I'm going to keep this post short...my head is bit everywhere. I was ill all during the end of the week & am still recovering...I feel so drained. But, the worst news of the weekend, was a good friend lost her battle with anorexia. She had battled for so long and was so determined to get better and beat this evil that still seems to plague women and men. There is still a stigma attached to it, that the person wants attention, that they want to do this to themselves...it's wrong. The person does need attention in some way...not only from loved ones, but from themselves!! They need to find the little voice inside that says, 'I love you just the way you are and you're beautiful'. Until we can wipe it out, we have to fight many battles to help.
She was one of the first friends I made when I came to the UK, we took Beauty Therapy together, though spent more time having a laugh than working, but our group of friends kept each other going. Not even weeks ago, she messaged to ask for my number as she said she could do with a friend...and I had been trying to get in touch with her & then I heard the news. My heart breaks. Why do we do this to ourselves!?! Having conquered anorexia and bullemia myself...I knew she could get better and so did everyone that loved her. She will be very missed, such a beautiful person. I hope that you will hug someone close today & extend an ear, a hand, a heart out to those battling this vile problem. I'll be back on Wednesday & visit all your blogs as well. I hope you have a wonderful Monday!!

O dear, I'm so sorry. How important it is to love oneself, in a balanced way I mean. Get-well-soon wishes heading your way *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss :( I totally agree with you. It's such a shame that people still think that anorexia is about getting attention.. I'm thinking of you and I wish you strenght in this sad and difficult time!

thats such sad news. im sorry you have been ill and this has happened. sending a hug xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your friend...Some diseases come from bacteria, others from the brain. The ones in the brain are the hardest to fight, since you can't just take some medicine until the bacterias are gone, and you're healthy again. The brain-demons are hard to expel...Glad you managed to get rid of yours though, and hope the bacteria ones will be gone from your system soon too! Kisses and hugs!!! <3
ReplyDeletesending a hug and well wishes your way.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your friend. May she rest in peace. Take care of yourself and feel better Kizzy.

Kizzy, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. That is so tragic. I know people who had eating disorders, but they never got that bad. My heart feels for you right now. I'm very concerned about how you're doing. This weather keeps changing. I've had a bit of the blues too. That's why I didn't post Friday. I hope you feel better soon doll. If you want to talk, you know how to get in touch with me. Love you!

I feel really silly and a bit ashamed for having cried over loosing my bird Zion, which was with me for 16 yeras, but that has no comparison to loosing a friend! she is at peace now and may God receive her in joyful eternity.
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew how to comfort you in this terrible hour, but I will be sending you all my love and good vibes.
Oh, Timbarika, I will be lifting you up in prayer on both accounts--for your health, and the health of your spirit during a sad time. Thank you for sharing such an intense bit of information about yourself. I have a family member who is battling, too. I cannot reach the person to help because they are very guarded by the parents (pride). I try in the best way I can to reach out in love. Any advice, or insight, you have to share, I would greatly appreciate. Warm hugs to you!! xo
ReplyDeleteOh I am so so sorry to hear of your lovely friend losing her battle. Big hugs to you. Sarah xxx

ReplyDeleteDearest Kizzy, saddened to hear about the loss of your dear friend. Eating disorders are terribly sad, and very difficult to concur. I wish you some peace and hope you get well soon. hugs from me,
ReplyDeleteAxx
I hope you get well soon and I'm sorry to hear about your friend.
ReplyDeleteI do know of people with some diet problems but I do not personally know anyone with anorexia and succumbing to it. It must have been a tragic news for you especially when you were trying to get in touch with her. My deepest condolences to her and her loved ones and hope you cheer up too.
OMG, Kizzy, this is so sad to hear! I don't know, how such a thing can happen, but i do have a friend who battled with this as well and understand, how hard it can be. The human mind ... our best friend or our worst enemy! Lots of Love and light to you sweet one - big hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh Kizzy, I am so sad to hear about your friend. I wish you and her other friends and family a lot of strength in this difficult situation. I never knew that you had problems like this too, but I am glad that you are well. You are such a precious flower, please, please, please take care of yourself and never stop to remember the beautiful memories you have with your dear friend. Hugs and lots of love, I'm with you in my thoughts :-**************
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your friend. Having overcome an ED, it breaks my heart to see others lose the war.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. It's true that we become our own worst critic at times (no matter what our flaws may be). I am so thankful for people like you to help us to remember to appreciate what we have!
ReplyDeleteI hope you can find the time to heal, friend. So sorry for your loss and for those who knew and loved her. -Jessica L
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry to hear about your loss, my friend. That is such tragic news. It saddens me deeply that there are still so many women and girls out there who have such a distorted view of reality, and it comes with such heartbreaking consequences. And who is to blame? The media? The fashion industry? Society? Perhaps a little bit of everyone. I just wish the day would come when everyone learns to accept beauty as what it is: imperfection. My thoughts are with you and her family. xo
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear the news about your friend. My sister battled with eating disorders for a long time so I can sympathise a tiny bit.
ReplyDeleteYou inspire me no end!
"forgive yourself"...that is the hardest one for me!
Well written!

Kizzy I am SO sorry to hear this. I too lost a friend to this sad disease while I was in middle school. Its tragic but I know you have strength to be positive and to move forward in an encouraging way. You are so motivational and uplifting, I dont know how you do it at times! I hope you are doing alright during this difficult time.

Lemme know if you ever need anything! I hope you are alright <3 Gosh I'm just sad for your loss right now.
ReplyDelete-Nico
So sorry for your loss, I wish you all the strenght!
ReplyDeleteIt is really brave to acknowledge you own battle with eating disorders, speaking out is a good way to take the stigma out of anorexia, which is a real mental disease, not just need of attention.
Also get better soon!
