Am not eating , got to the point were i dont care anymore.
Ate very little yesterday.
My partner says it's up to me what i do , he cant force me to eat.
I feel like am doing what is necessary.
If i eat, i fail , i dont want to be a failure .
There is so much pressure from my family to be perfect, something am not.
I want perfection and maybe not eating is going to get me that.
I do have professional help but with my mental health not my ED.
I have told them about me not eating and restricting but they said because am overweight that there isn't a problem.
**** them.
I dont need help from anyone any way.
Am fine doing what am doing.

Hi Angel21,
I CARE! And I will CARE enough until you can see this for yourself. I wish you would eat something, even if it was small. Could this be a goal that you do everyday....you could be perfect at it! If you eat, you will NOT be a failure. You are helping yourself to get better!
Your partner is right it is up to you, but I hope that he supports you in any way that he can as you go through this.
And yes, **** them (doctors)! Doctors are not always correct! Seeking other help from another doctor would be good for you.
I am here to help in anyway that I can! Cherrios!

Dear Angel,
Your eating disorder is an emotional ie: mental health problem. Maybe you need to find better professionals to help you. You also sound like you are indulging in a little bit of self-pity. This is normal but it is not very productive.

If you want to lose weight, starving yourself is not the way to go as the body goes into starvation mode. The body stores the fat more and saves it when you starve yourself the way you are doing. The way to lose weight properly is to have small regular meals and exercise. I feel you are doing this to yourself as a way to punish yourself for not being perfect for your parents.

Please talk to your T about what is going on.

I am glad that you eating...eating more would be better, but small steps! I am sorry that you do not have a T, but I am glad you do have someone to talk to about this. And I am really happy that you are going to talk to your dr. as well. Really good steps you are making!

Cherrios!

Can you contact your CPN as soon as possible and let her know what is going on.
