I have always been against medication. Well, for recovery anyways. When I first told my family doctor about my eating disorder, his first words had to do with "well there is pills you can take that make it go away.." and made it seem as if you can not cure an eating disorder without pills. Back then, I thought I had binge eating disorder, and he also said you need pills to cure it basically. I ended up being diagnosed with Bulimia. That was 2-3 years ago, well I proved him wrong on the binging part. I recovered that, I was getting better. Then, I sprialed into a depression.. life issues. My eating disorder went south.. I developed more on the anorexic side. Just this year I started binging again. There were times where I have thought I could not eat to save my life. Now, I feel fearfull at times I cant stop eating to save my life! I need help, I have non profit therapy ive been going too, but they just don't feel enough. Seeing a therapist once a month, aint cutting it. I used to be in group therapy but I got kicked out basically, because I missed a few sessions. (I live on my own and I have to work for a living and pay my rent.) I feel as if I am going about this alone.. I need more help. Ya I see a dietician too, but she cant force feed me. She cant lock me in a room so I don't binge, and she cant force food down my mouth when I need to eat but wont.

Now I am considering the pills prescribed to me, Prozac. and I want to see if I can ether join group again and start over, see if they would be willing to-if I miss a session have a one on one catch up session for me. (but see I doubt they will ) OR try to get into a real impatient treatment centre. But in reality if its not funded for I cant afford it..

What are your views on pills..?
And also, what are your views on different treatment options.. are we hopeless if we can not afford to go to the impatient centers ..?
