When life gets going and it all moves too fast

Life can move so fast at times. Im entering my last and final year at college, in a months time, I'll be 22 years old, I have a job, soon I'll be a college graduate looking for a full time job and then comes loans to pay back. With all this comes anxiety and stress. For someone recovering from an eating disorder, how can you control what you can not control? Make a coping box or coping draw. Basically decorate, if you'd like, an old shoe box. Put a few things that can get your mind off "stinking thinking." FOr example, mine has a coloring book, crayons, a Buddha chanting machine, a CD of Teddy Geiger and crochet needles and a guitar pick. In the past Ive had pictures which represented scrapbooking, a book that I was reading and a latch hook needle. What helps to deter you from your issues can help you out in the long run and each persons box or draw is different.
