"Went to School and I was Very Nervous..."

Guess what Soujin is going to do?

Soujin is going to take her crazy little socially anxious, eating disordered self, and she is going to step the hell out of her comfort zone, just as Gail is always telling her to, and she is going to go to schools.

And talk about eating disorders. And why they don't work, and what they do to your poor head, and why if you want to lose weight, exercise is always the way to go, almost always. And the ways you can get sick, the ways it gets out of control, and the ways it hurts you. And she's going to bring telephone numbers, book resources, and names of doctors and psychiatrists. She's going to make ridiculous jokes--she's going to let the people at the schools know how the ED clinic is in the immediate vicinity of Hershey's Chocolate World.

Most of all, she is going to try to talk about this now, while she's young enough maybe to connect to the people she talks to, while the disorder is not yet conquered, while she can maybe make a difference. She is going to try to help other people not have happen to them what happened to her.

(--maybe it's all part of the healing process--)

(--I telephoned to-day, and I left a message--I'm waiting for an answer back with the woman who can connect me with the school board--)

(--I can't believe I'm doing this--)
