Oh my gosh Im so sorry - I have been through this many times, I go IP then shortly after coming back out I relapse, Im still very poorly now.

Are you under an eating disorders team? Could you speak to them, or mentalh health team or even your doctor, just explain to them how you are relapsing and would really like some help in the community.

A bit of advice I find sometimes works for me...everytime you feel like engaging in an eating disorded behaviour just quietly say to yourself "I dont want to end up back in hospital" Try it maybe? Or you could try and argue your ED thoughts a little bit, try and fight back in your mind, let the ED say what its gotta say and then answer back, at least if you tried to put steps in to try and prevent things you can say "well I tried" and then try again the next day..Just take things slowly...Its never going to be easy. Recovering from eating disorders take a very long time, with many blips in between.

PM me if you like.
