welcome!!!

welcome!!!
heyyyy I cant believe I've actually started a blog, I've been debating weather to start a blog for months but then I was like why not! so welcome to my blog...Annie Cp and Me.

hi my names Lydia, im 15 and gotta say the first 15 years of my life haven't been the easiest i've definetly had my ups and downs  so guess what... im going to write about them and hopefully it wont only help me but hopefully help the people reading it. I was born 12 weeks early meaning when I was born it led to many complications which meant i was in hospital for a while afterwards. when i was two i was diagnosed with cerable palsy (Cp), which caused weaknesss in my leg muscles. Apart from that i lived a normal life, yes i had to do physio and wear splints but i was determined that i wouldn’t let that stop me. However a couple of weeks ago i was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, an eating disorder ( annie is my nickname for it), a disorder that made me not want food and skip meals, it’s been a hard couple of weeks but hopefully writing this blog with help me deal with it and help others experiencing it.

so basically yeah that’s my life in a nutshell! i’m going to be writing all about it on here, in the hope that it helps others going through the same thing, so here we go...

WELCOME TO ANNIE CP AND ME

the stigma around eating disorders

this topic has been a difficult one for me to write about because i’m passionate about breaking those stigmas and stereotypes as they are so frustrating to me, because breaking down those stigmas could be the difference between life or death, and i want people to realise that. when the thought of me having an eating disorder came into my head, I didn't believe it, I was adamant that I didn't, I thought to myself, I eat, yes not as much as other people do, but I eat, three meals a day, normal amounts,,I thought that because originally  I believed In stigmas around eating disorders and that people, who had one looked extremely skinny and didn't eat at all, but now I realise that that is no where near the truth. knowing the truth is important because if I knew the truth all those months ago maybe I would have realised that what I was doing was wrong, that it was dangerous, maybe when I got diagnosed I wouldn't of been in denial and prevented my recovery. maybe none of
