What I'm saying is that you need to change your thinking - Cuz it's stuck in the opposite of neuroplasticity like depression. Therapy can help greatly if it's done right. I completely advise going into new age fasting stuff etc while having an eating disorder without therapy and recovery. It's a real mental illness - But like all, can be treated and few have a good recovery which is great.

Don't give up hope!.. Western culture is really dumb. It's not even a culture. Just hedonic seeking and perfection. Our ancestors were much better off + They were physically healthy and happy - Especially the addicts.. they were smart at getting dopamine good hunters etc... The schiz people were shamans.

The future can be good if people stop fighting about identity etc and the other side stops being ignorant. A lot of scientific innovations were made but it can be no use to us without our spiritual side etc.
Thank you Desoxyn, I feel bad about blowing up roll call with all my ED problems but it's become an issue again the past several months and not many people post in the ED part of the forum. I'll have to talk to my therapist about it next time we speak. Actually, I have an appointment with my psychiatrist next week. I should talk to her, to see what I can do and what her advice is. She's aware of the issue, has been for many years, but I was what is it called, in a period of remission from anorexia binge/purge type almost a year until now. Now it's back in the cycle of restrict/binge/purge. And I seriously just need to stop. Last time I ended up in the hospital because my electrolytes were all screwed up causing my heart to beat abnormally, and I was freezing/shivering all the time from malnutrition. That scared me straight for awhile. I have to stop having this obsession with my weight and control
