Hi everybody! Remember me? In the likelihood that you don’t, my name is Lindsey and I’m the long ago author behind this blog about eating disorders, recovery and treatment … which has admittedly sat defunct now for 4 years.
Womp womp.
I could go into the multitude of reasons why I departed from eating disorder blogging (my freelance PR/writing career took over, I moved into a van, I went rootless and have been traveling for years, I got tired of it, etc) but really there’s no point in mulling over the past (says someone who pretty much only enjoys mulling over the past).
Hopefully, some of you have been following along on my recovery Instagram, but for those of you who haven’t but still have any inkling of interest in reading/relating/sharing in my writing, I’m just here to announce that I have moved on over to SubStack and I’d love for you to stop on by.
Free, paid, give a donation, I don’t care how you come but I’d love if you subscribed.
My intent is to pick up a bit where I left off. Except, well, I’m not really the same as where I left off. However, I’d like to write about the now and however that looks, which as of late is a little bit of this:
In 2024, I’m a van life, cat-loving, eating disorder, travel, and relationship PR lady & writer.
I’ve been ‘on the road’ in a van named Jolene since 2021 with my cat.
When not on the road, I’ve been living in and out of South America (where my Medellin lovers at?!)
I now enjoy writing essays and reflections on relationships, friendship, travel, badass ladies traveling solo, grief, and.. yes… eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia, orthorexia, drunkorexia, ARFID, and more.
I plan to publish personal pieces on eating disorder news/research, expert source commentary (many of my clients are in mental health or outdoor fields) tips on to be a fulltime freelancer, and as always … a lot of snippets about the bittersweetness of breaking up & starting over.
I’d love to see you over on this other side of the internet. I may still publish essays and posts over here, but you’ll find them first on SubStack. It’s just a pleasant community over there and one I’m really enjoying 🙂
Thanks for all the years, y’all. I cherish each of you.
