Values do change & the way we look at things chsnges as we get older. We reslly dont know what the future holds..for the good or bad...but the one thing gustsnteed IS CHANGE.

Sometimes when we are ready to change it happens without the need for professional help...just like when we arent ready all the help in the world wont make us change.

Its important to mske sure out health doesnt suffer while we are struggling though. I ended up in the medical hospital many times requiring IV nutrition just to stay alive. The first time I really didnt care if I survived. The last time I did but was struggling with PTSD at the time which triggered the anorexia.

I found that good quality therapy that focuses on the WHY you want to dissappear is just as valuable as dealing with thw ED alone. When we get the issues in our life straightened out that are usually the underlying causes of the ED in the first place, the ED can be resolved by resolving resolving those issues though the behavior sometimes becomes like an addiction that needs to be broken.

ED's have complicated underlying psychological causes that are what really needs to be resolved first or the ED never really goes away.
