justy, I'm glad you went in to see the doc. Give yourself a bug pat on the back for that one...that's a real scary thing to do, but you knew you needed to, so you conquered that fear. Good for you!!!
And you are not an idiot...you have an illness. You've taken a huge step in realizing that it can be a fatal illness, and you're taking steps toward recovery. Those are not the actions of an idiot. I think the ED support group is a great idea. Hopefully, you will meet people there who are in recovery and can help guide you toward your own recovery.
And just in case I haven't quite driven the point home yet, I think you deserve a lot of credit for turning things in the right direction. Good for you!!!
*hugs*
