It just seems from your post like you're chastising yourself for not giving up something that is black-and-white bad, but obviously it's really rewarding.
You're gaining so much from this disorder, it offers you a lot of benefits: have you two acknowledged them all and how you're going to get all those good things more safely?

Yea we have talked about this before. Honestly the control and structure it gives me are two things that are really hard to imagine giving up. She had me come up with everything I gained and lost from ED to compare them. This ED has been my way of living for over half my life though, I don't think I even realise all that I'm losing bc I never had it. The ED came early and stayed long
