Hi Medicated,
Sounds like you’re talking about maintenance of your recovery to me. Yes you’ve had these problems before, and although you say you are not directly obsessing about food at present, in your own words it becomes “a power trip” for you, and you realise you’re ‘playing with fire’. And as Whoswho pointed out, it is these aspects the questionnaires are picking up on.
It therefore sounds like you have a lot of insight into your situation. But, …and Im sorry to quote you back at yourself again……rather than waiting to “magically pull out of it” in time, do you feel you would be able to notice the behaviour returning, and use that self-knowledge that you have developed, to choose to bring yourself out of it instead?
I know..maybe easier to say than do! But to me it sounds like you have come through the worst, but still need to keep a guard that you don’t let yourself slip back there again.
Maintenance of eating disorder recovery is as important as the initial recovery itself…otherwise…all that hard work!
For this reason, it could well be worth discussing sooner than later with your T, but as a discussion around your skills in maintaining your recovery.
Best wishes,
Matt c
