Okay okay I don't have a lot of time.
I'm just saying that I'm doing okay, and that I'm doing much, much better. I'm at a hotel with my mom right now on a pass from the center, and things are looking up! I'm hoping to return to Mitty in January, and it's something I plan to do.
So, um, I don't really know what to say. I miss you guys so, so much. I am so much happier and I'm getting farther and farther in recovery than I thought I ever would. I'm just... so happy, and... I can't explain everything, but a lot of changes have been going on, and I'm just loving life right now. I've realized that I struggle with OCD-type thoughts concerning my appearance, my personality and things around me, and how to change that. I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and so I have anxiety attacks often (they're not pretty). Um, this is probably new news, and I'm sorry if I scare you with this, but it's okay! I'm learning how to cope with things in my life and new obstacles and am slowly but gradually moving away from anorexia.
I've also made some really good friends... I am really, really homesick though.
I hope you all are doing well, and I'll respond if you guys are in a couple months...
Love you all very much.

Um, if anyone asks where I am, please say that I'm in American Fork, Utah. I am currently attending American Fork High School. I moved here with my Mom, my stepdad, and my grandma here to try to get a new environment and such. We couldn't sell the house in time, and so we're returning to California in December. (I'm sure nobody will ask, but just in case.)
