However my son’s classes are at night So I don’t know what we’ll do. My son has huge open wounds because of his picking. There each the size of a cigarette burn and it’s all over his face, his arms, his legs, his back just everywhere and he’s bleeding all over the place. I’m at a loss of how to help him. I recently went up to 200mg of lamictal. Hopefully it’ll help me. I do recognize my family needs me even if it’s just financially. I’m in a dark place with no help out. I may end up IP and I don’t really care if I do.

So sorry. I am getting out of that state just now, still working on it. Luckily, H doesn’t have those issues though I think he is situationally depressed and anxious due to our financial problems and tons of stress right now. But if you have reverted that far into ED habits, I think you need to get help ASAP. Maybe even going IP? It sounds to me you need IP now, and should start getting it set up through your pdoc. Surely if there is no public transportation, you might know someone who would give you a ride to IP?
Hang in there  The ED has been the toughest of my mental struggles. My first recovery from anorexia is still the hardest thing I have done in my life.
If the 200 mg Lamictal doesn’t work, would your pdoc raise it? I take 400 mg, 200 in the morning, 200 at night, and I am pretty small for being an adult. Don’t remember how long it took to notice a difference though.
