You're welcome, avoice! I think people who've never had an ED will never understand & know what it feels like! My former boss doesn't. The last job I had for 2 1/2 years & a coworker (who later left to take another job several months after I started) are what caused me to become anorexic. I was in therapy from Dec. 11, 2007-Aug. 10, 2009; a few months before I left my job to go back to school, my boss & I were talking & the subject of ED came up. She said it had been a year & a half, referring to how long I'd been in therapy. If I could have, I would have said "(Insert name here) & this job caused me to get sick! Once I'm out of here, I will be fine!" (and I was & am now)

Like I said, recovery isn't easy, at least for me. I don't know about you, but I felt like ED had become my identity. I think one thing that stops me from going back again to ED is remembering how I felt emotionally & physically. By the way, are you still in therapy? I can't remember. Please take care of yourself. If I can make it, you can, too!
