You mentioned therapy ending soon... may I ask why it's ending? It sounds to me as though you're still in need. It also sounds, from what you've written, like it is your therapist whom you should be calling right now.
Perhaps you need to consider becoming involved in some kind of eating disorders program. A person can't live on crackers! I don't know what is available where you live, of course. Here where I live there is an organization called The Emily Program or Foundation.
One thing that might help would be a group support kind of experience. I know I used to "poo-poo" such things myself. But once I finally got into a couple of group counseling situations I found them to be wonderfully supporting.
Anyway, those are my thoughts right off the top of my head. In addition to these ideas... keep posting here on PC! My bests wishes to you!   |
Thank you. It means a lot to me.
It's ending because I'm in CBT at the moment, and I had 6 sessions (summer) before stopping, and now I've had 5 sessions, and my last session is next week. CBT is designed to last for a short period of time, and 6 sessions is the limit mostly. I've had 12. Even though there was a break in the middle, I've had quite a few more than my fair share.
I am still in need of therapy, and much more in need of my T, but it's just not meant for long-term.
I've got my T's number and email, but there are boundaries, and I've crossed them before, and I don't fancy crossing them anytime soon either... Why do you say that it is my T I should be calling?
There aren't any eating disorder units around where I live (UK), and even then I would have to be at a certain 'unhealthy' weight, and diagnosed as anorexic by my GP, which won't happen unless I am considerably underweight.
There aren't any group counselling sessions either, only ones in hospital.
I just don't know what to do
