In some ways I wish this relapse would have come when I first went on medical leave. I could be almost done with treatment if it was an IOP. Now that I am going back to work, I am going to have to wait and see how my wrist handles things and whether or not I will be able to stay at this job. I don't know if I am going to be able to overpower ED mind tomorrow and eat breakfast and lunch and a snack. I could use good vibes for that.

McCallum Place sounds like a great place. I looked at it, talked to the medical director etc. I hear great things about it. I'd love to go there, but they rejected me on grounds of medical stability.
I'll be sending good vibes for overcoming your ED mindset tomorrow (or I guess that'd be today?). When I was in residency and really struggling and working 16 hr days and super stressed, my therapist at the time used to tell me, "all you need to do is eat three meals and two snacks". Obviously it wasn't that easy and obviously I had to do a hell of a lot more than sit around and eat all day, but for some reason it helped me to think all I have to do is get through today and eat three meals and two snacks. Seemed to simplify things maybe? I don't know if that helps you any..., but good luck with your decision, I hope you figure out what's right for you.
