Being sick is quite violent and I think I have latched on to that because it is very physical and immediate, and actually totally different from cutting.
I do think my dr and therapist are listening but I feel I've been a bit left to carry on as I am whilst I try and get better overall. It can feel so isolating behaving like this and not having anyone to really share it with. I tried to tell my therapist from the start what was happening and how I knew I'd likely get stuck in a pattern but I feel it was passed over and now I'm stuck and hardly feel it's worth mentioning again since she never asks.
Thank you for caring.
Hi Abby,

Yes, I do care and am so glad to hear that you are comfortable that you are not slipping into an ED, but it is still a form of SI, so do be careful. I do indeed think it is definitely worth mentioning and it doesn't really matter if she never asks..it may not be on her radar...so put it on her radar.

You may have to still be patient, but it can be also dealt with directly and not just indirectly. You are very wise and know yourself and could see this coming. Don't just let it happen or continue to happen. You are definitely worth it and deserve every happiness.

Safe hugs and hopes for some real healing soon for you...
