I have been battling eating disorders for a good part of my life. Up until now I really didn't want help at all. I wanted to be left alone, to die eventually. I recently was sent to outpatient intensive therapy and after 7 weeks in recovery I am eating fairly consistently and purging much less. I know I still have a long way to go, and falling back into the same trap I have been in for the past 10 years would be so easy. I guess I mainly am just looking for some support, maybe from people who have been where I am and recovered, or possibly even people who are working through there own recovery. Any support is welcome and much appreciated.

I don't purge because I can't stand to.....even when I have the flu I have a hard time with it because my body reacts violently & I have broken blood vessels in the whites of my eyes & got little dots all over my face from tiny broken blood vessels......
for me....it's just easy to NOT eat at all....& it's so easy to go days without eating & not even think about it & stress makes it even easier....so I really have to work at keeping at my safe weight & it is a struggle....but I feel so much better physically & mentally that it's worth it.

I never did an eating disorder clinic but am on my second therapist. I have gone from purging a few times a day down to every 3 weeks if I am not triggered. To me this is some form of recovery. It has been 2 years since I first asked for help.

Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors. |

I recently got out of four months of treatment for my ED. I am much better but everyday I have to actively choose me and not ED. And it frustrats me to no end that I've done so much work and still have so much to go. My body image is terrible. I am in your exact same position. Just wanted to let you know that you're not alone
