First, I just wanted to say thank you to those who responded to my other thread last weekend about my eating concerns.
I got brave and I told my T when I had session yesterday. We were going over some addictions principals. And not that I have a chemical dependency issue, but that cutting was my addiction, and that sometimes we trade off addictions when we try to let one go. So the principal was HALT (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired). And I said that I was feeling all of those things after struggling all week. So we talked about sleeping and why I wasn't really sleeping. And about the loneliness and anger. And then we to Hunger, and she asked me if I was eating. And so we talked about it. I was so worried that I wasn't going to be able to talk to her and that she wasn't going to respond well, and it actually went really well.
So, yeah it was just a relief.
