We will get through.
I'm usually online, a lot. Writing about my days, my struggles, my random worries or how I get through things. Posting random pictures that mean nothing or artwork that I'm passionate about... but it feels weird now. Since the pandemic was officially called just that, it's been exhausting being online.

My relationship with food.
I’ve had my ED since I was in grade 7. I would remember restricting so many foods, under eating, binge eating, purging. Feeling so bad for eating a food labeled as bad. That went on throughout high school. I was embarrassed to eat around people and felt extremely bad if I got a piece of …

I still remember sitting in the room at the eating disorder clinic, explaining myself and being told I have the 'characteristics' of the most common ones.

Mother
Being a mom is one of the hardest things I have ever done. Carrying a baby for nine months, giving birth, and then giving a life to a little being. It's such a surreal experience. It can be overwhelming as a new first time mom I know that sure. It's always important to take care …
I am ME.
Hello there, I am Michelle Brianne and I always knew deep down there was a purpose for my being here. Along the way doubts, fears and negativity has stopped me from wanting what I desire. I always thought I wouldn't amount to anything. I saw all these people living and enjoying life when I felt …
