I've been starving and binging for years and I don't know how to stop. I've been uncomfortable in my own skin since I was a child and I can't look in the mirror without feeling unattractive.
 What should I do?!

Therapy, therapy, and more therapy. Work on building your self esteem again. I've been binging and purging for over 13 years now and I'm currently at my smallest weight and everyone around me says how sick I look. But for the life of me, I don't see that when I look in the mirror at all. I see a pouch on my stomach and big thighs. I would give anything just to get a glimpse at how others see me. I honestly don't know how to help THAT part of it. I'm not sure if therapy can force us to see reality. But we can at least work on our self esteem and how to accept who we are. ((Hugs))

Try and set up an outpatient treatment team - therapist, psychiatrist, dietician, MD - to help support you in the process of cutting back on behaviors and navigating a new relationship with yourself. I won't be quick or easy, but you deserve to have help. The only factor to think about before developing a treatment team is - are you ready to get better? Is it something you want? Because I worked with the best professionals, got treatment at the best centers for years yet I didn't want to change so nothing helped. You don't have to be excited about the prospect of recovery (I've never met anyone who was) but you have to have that little piece of yourself that has hope for a different life. Even if you are ambivalent, that's a fine start. Please keep us updated. Sending strength.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
