Welcome to my blog

If you've found this site, welcome.

I've never done anything like this before. And I doubt anyone will read or follow, but blogging sounds like a good hobby and pastime. 

My life is complicated. So I'll give a brief introduction.

My name is Abbi - I'm 21 years old. I live in sunny San Diego, California. I don't really like it here - but it is what it is. 

I'm in recovery. I've struggled with anorexia since I was 11 and bulimia since I was 16. I am trying desperately to gain weight and get in recovery. My journey has been long and difficult. 

I have dissociative identity disorder - DID. Formerly known as multiple personality disorder. So I often talk in "we" because there is more than one of me. It's complicated I know - I'll explain more later. 

I've struggled with depression and anxiety my whole life. Life has been hard. I've had many suicide attempts, many hospitalization, I've been in many programs. I emancipated from my family when I was 16, moved out and lived on my own. I'm currently in treatment for my eating disorders, depression, and DID at Hanbleceya - a therapeutic community in San Diego. 

On a brighter note - I LOVE music. Music is a part of me. I play flute, guitar, piano, and I'm a singer. I don't know what I'd do without my music. 

And I love animals - all animals. I have a kitty who lives with my grandma, her name is Ducky. She is the love of my life. And two rats, Drew and Annie who are very sweet and I love dearly. I also love kids - especially preschoolers. 

I want to go back to college and become a social worker - to help others.

There's a little bit about me, us. 

This is our journey and our story.
