Mike and Mark and Matt... oh my!

First semester is over, and I'm home for the holidays. And, you guessed it, drama ensues!

I finally hook up with my friend Mark but it doesn't go the way either of us planned.

I have an unplanned hookup with a guy named "Jeff" who is nice enough, but we just don't click. I pretend I don't know why but, spoiler alert: it's because I've started sleeping with women!

But also because I feel completely ashamed of how I look and feel. I start a nasty binge-and-purge cycle which became hard for me to talk about in this episode so I'm saving it for later. <3 Basically, I can almost pinpoint the moment my ED is lit ablaze -- I find a pro-ana community and the spiral begins.

"I was so tired today. Not just tired but woozy, slow, inhibited." <3 Breaks my heart!!!
