Hi All, Quick note to say Jessie and MJD are aware the UMD store AND the www.messy-jessie.co.uk website are both temporarily down during some changes. If anyone is desperate to buy anything just Inbox me on here and we'll sort it a different way. Also we believe Messmaster had a prob making some changes and 8 zillion notifications went out about the same scenes or something so sorry that happened. As for Jessie she actually did have to go back in hospital again with heart problems and she's just come out but has had a heart monitor fitted for 24 hours. Also if anyone has a monthly membership of the site can you PM us here and not on the messy-jessie email please as we're auditing current memberships. In the meantime here's some Jessie pics from normal life and messy! Regards MJD and Jess
On and off she's had heart problem's since last October. The low potassium caused by the eating disorder unfortunately puts her heart at risk of stopping. Sadly that scary fact isn't enough to stop the ED from controllling her mind sometimes. She's really trying through....minute by minute of every day.
Nice thought thanks. To be honest...and to save a load of time her Eating Disorder and attitude to food isn't helped by normal good wishes or logical methods. It's really complex and goes back to her being 7 years old and various disorders forming such as Body Dysmorphia which is also called Imagined Ugliness,then feeling worthless/useless,anxiety disorder and then the Anorexia (self starvation) and Bulimia (Bingeing food then purgeing it by vomiting) actually became the coping mechanism for the first problems. After 27 years of repeated action her body can't take it any more but it's a learny habit/addiction etc So the trick is a race against time now of sorting her mental health issues before her body gives in and her heart stops. We've made HUGE progress since October and her attitude is miles better but I reckon (and this with me absolutely at full pelt trying to get the treatment for her) the health services have cost us 5 months or so in being crap. Most of you know Jess has been waiting for a place on a 6 month inpatient/12 month outpatient course and last week that took a battering as they dropped her off the list because she get let down on a lift to an appointment (that annoyingly I had offered to take her to). So on Monday I have the battle to try and get her back on the list and back in the same position she was in. So really the best support you can give is comment on here and I suppose buying her products from www.messy-jessie.com It has actually ground to a halt income wise about 8 weeks ago hence me and another pal are going to go through it with Jessie,come up with some deals etc,put some old vids back on and get those recent films we did on there. It's hard to find time to do though with normal working lives and then when I'm with her medical appointments and her illness taking over. E.G. We'd planned to work Monday and chill Tuesday....Monday is now medical appts at 9am then 9.30am then 9.40am and then 10.30am We'll get there though! Just keep saying prayers,chanting or sending positive vibes as per your beliefs!
Thinking of you & Jessie and sending positive vibes, as ever. Keep on keeping on and good luck with the health service - it still amazes (and appals) me how difficult it is for people to access the help they need for mental health problems.
I understand the frustrations involved, having been within the NHS 'system' all my life. I have nothing but praise for Jessie for trying so hard to face up to & battle these illnesses, & to you for the help & encouragement you're providing. Adding my very best wishes, keep fighting & stay positive Jessie x
Love you, too
