Its a helpless type of feeling isnt it? No binging/purging? Sweet! 3 days is a goal of many people that struggle through an eating disorder. I have never had an eating disorder, the only thing I have that comes close is that I cannot stick to a diet whatsoever.

Hate that constant feeling something's gonna jump out at you and the surprise isn't going to be pleasant.

Hang in, Free, hope you get a break that isn't you.

My anxiety is worst when I try and stop using my "normal" coping mechanisms too.... Try and hang in there, it will get easier.

Freewill,

Hope today is a little better. Anxiety really sucks. And mine always gets worse when I don't have my usual coping mechanisms. But if it stays bad for a while, I'd talk to you dr., there are anti anxiety meds that can help.
