Things I do that help:
I drink coconut water afterwards.
I take zinc/magnesium/calcium
I make sure I take good quality fish oil(omega-3) daily.
It does not look like much but it helps immensely. Unless of course you are looking for your health to decline and you want the attention from being sick. I do everything to avoid anyone seeing me sick and weak.

This is extremely disordered thinking and not factually accurate. I encourage the OP to disregard it as evidence of another member's disorder and NOT good advice. If you are restricting/fasting or b/p-ing then your body isn't physically capable of absorbing vitamins. You can be left permanently blind or paralyzed by severely low potassium, and it is the leading cause of fatal heart attacks in eating disorder patients!!!
That being said, I totally relate. I had a similar experience years ago and spent 2 days on IV potassium in the ICU. Even though I absolutely would have died without it, I felt horrible for seeking and receiving help. My eating disorder tricked me into believing I didn't deserve help and was selfish for taking it. The fact is, though, that we're dealing with an illness. It's not our fault, and we DO deserve to live! I hope you continue to seek help. You did everything RIGHT!!!
