This was a year ago today. The portrait of Ted (Staffordshire bull terrier) was drawn while I was in day service at Evolve, Hull, for Bulimia Nervosa.
A lot has happened in a year, I am not out of the woods just yet but the progress I’ve made has resulted in my discharge from Evolve and awaiting Psychotherapy.
I want to thank everyone who has supported me and put up with Irrational Bekah over the past several years. And thank you to Sophie for documenting this specific moment in recovery, as it was the first drawing I had made in 8 months.
If you feel your behaviour towards food and your body is taking too much of a toll on your life, speak up if you are ready. There is no shame in your behaviours, just so long as you manage them and they don’t rule you you can be whoever you want to become.
To all those suffering, we need to stick together! All the love and light your way! My inbox is open if you want to talk to a stranger

Exciting news announcement! I teamed up with my friends at @sktchyapp and @procreate to create a class on how you can create a fun and playful stylised portrait using bold shape, line and colour! The class is broken down into 4 lessons. I’ll also be hosing a LIVE Q&A in early May to answer any questions you might have. I’ve ALWAYS loved portraiture and pushing form, shape and colour to an extreme. Making stylised work is a great way to do something completely different and original, and it also gets your brain thinking out of the box! Have heaps of fun here and don’t hesitate to ask any q’s along the way! Can’t wait to see what you all create! Link to the class can be found via my profile or go to @sktchyapp to learn how you can sign up! . . I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH . . . . #sktchy #class #artclass #sktchyartschool #imateachernow #portraiture #procreate #art #design #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv_FisKB4MI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rcyh8iw7aer8
