Hi candy
I'm sorry you are going through such a rough time with your health, family and financial situation.
I can really relate. I myself si (cut) as well as starve myself for long periods of time when I don't cut. I don't like to see scars so I had decided about a year or so ago to just not eat.
It felt like a high to do so and I felt very "in control" to be able to do so.
I lost 60+ lbs and continue to do so.
At times I go through periods where I will eat a meal or two a day, but when stress hits or I'm angry or anxious I will "start" again.
I will cut down my intake and it consumes me. I feel like I'm in control, but then things get fuzzy and at some point the line does get crossed and I keep pushing it.
I get consumed by this.
When I'm depressed I sometimes used this unfortunately as well.
It's probably a good idea to talk to your T about it.
There is also a good site for some good information and an indepth quiz.
