SAFETY NET.
It’s been 2 years since I stepped into that room.
It was the SEED resource room and my heart was going boom boom.
After living with my eating disorder for over 35yrs .
I feared I’d left it too late and it would all end in tears.
You where so easy to talk to and I exposed the real me.
Up until that day only the eating disorder had seen this part of me.
The binge eating and the vomiting was a secret that I held.
But this wasn’t about food it was a mental disorder that I had.
You understood and I opened up like never before.
I’d asked others for help but they didn’t understand and just shut the door.
You’ve put your arms around me and guided me along.
You’ve been there to support me when things went wrong.
I am now in recovery still finding my way.
But I can feel the safety net of SEED just in case I stray.
You’ve taught me not to be ashamed, blamed or feel guilty.
You’ve helped me feel proud and tell my story and helped set me free.
