It will get better - if you can avoid the temptation of using behaviors. Your body is trying its best to sort itself out. No matter how much we try to control them, they are perfect and miraculous machines that will do whatever it needs to get fuel and stay nourished. You will not end up obese, I know it feels that way but you wont. If you can stick to regular meal/snack times your body will eventually figure out that there isn't another round of starvation coming and you wont be subjected to the big binges. Hang in there...it can get better.

it's too scary and isolating. I don't know how to cope. I'm at the point of crying and hyperventilating in my car before work. and that's not me, I don't cry and generally "have my **** together" most days. wtf is wrong with me. I'm scared I can't go back to T bc if I gained weight she'll see that as a failure like I never had an ED. I KNOW that's sound absurd but I can't go back fatter I can't. how can I handle work tonight I'm freaking out. I feel like I'm failing as a human being. there's no one in real life I can call and vent to. I feel so freaking alone right now.
