some flashbacks yesterday
no sleep
today apart from showering we've not really done much to help ourselves. worst of it is probably the fact that our overeating is even worse than yesterday
eating like 4 bags of candy at once. it's embarrassing

just a suggestion... since the name keeps triggering you how about legally changing your name. its really easy to do. just put aside what you can afford every month to cover the court fees. go to the ccounty clerks office and fill out the paperwork. then as long as the name change isnt because you are avoiding crime and other illegal activities on your part (no not assuming you have committed a crime. just a standard question the judge will ask) then the judge approves the name change, you will get a new birth certificate with your new name on it, social security will issue you a new SSI card. and your good to go for legally using your new name. and legally every one else in your life has to use your new legal name. this is how a friend of mine solved the problem of being triggered by her name.
