Welcome to Psych Central (PC) ellieh. Sorry to hear you have been suffering from eating disorder but glad to hear you joined PC. I used to have more problems with food, but cut out carbs mostly and increased veggies fruit and yogurt. They keep me regular and keep me from binging. I eat small snacks or meals every 3-4 hours.

Getting sleep may be the single one thing that keeps me in balance. If you are not sleeping or having bad side affects, contact your psychiatrist and tell him what is happening so you can make adjustments.

Some people at PC will find a therapist will also help them sort out the roots of their life.

Many people find compassionate, caring people here at PC. Some people find the forums give them the compassion and empathy they seek. http://forums.psychcentral.com
