It seems like there are just a few of us in the eating disorders thead. I wish there were more (not that I am wishing more people had eating disorders), but it would just be neat to talk with people at different stages in the recovery process with different outlooks and wisdoms. Well anyways. If any of you are lurking, your input is needed and appreciated Lurk no more.

I am officially de-lurked.

This is a difficult issue for me; I have not been very open about it in the past. My therapist raised the issue last week and mentioned he thought it was becoming a problem for me again. I didn't want to agree but, as usual, he's right.

Unfortunately, I don't have much wisdom at this point.

Take care,

apislily

I'm here, but I've been pretty quiet in all the forums lately. I do still post, but not as much as I have before. Just very confused about life right now. My eating habits are a comfort zone for me. I hate to give them up. I know I should. It's hard to know what I really want to do. I almost being forced into real treatment right now, meds and everything. I don't like it. I'm more afraid of it, actually. I've had a T before, but he kind of spoiled me in that he wasn't real aggressive as a T. My kid's T is more aggressive and, I think, he is enjoying my new treatment/apartment stuff way too much. It's only beginning.

Virtue; hey there. I am so sorry; I have been too stuck on myself. I would love to help you with this. I have dealt with this for many, many years; I hope I could answer or at least give some insite on this. I have recovered before; so there is hope. Yes, it is a bad one for me right now; but I am getting help. Do you have any supports to deal with this? If you would like to; (i am not shutting down my pm); email me with anything u would like. Dont be afraid to say anything or everything. I do understand and I would like to help. If you are able to explain your situation, I may have some ideas or at least some kind of hope for you. I am not sure but I will try.

You are not alone; we wont let you. We may not be strong right now but we still can be here for one another. Please post or mail; I have good ears or should I say eyes?

Justy

Thanks you all who posted. I just wanted to alert us all that there are many of us who are working through eating disorders. Young and old, and perhaps that posting more wouuuld help us get rid of the harmful emotions that drive us toward disordered eating. I'd love to keep in touch. Thanks girls

Esthersvirtue,
I just wanted to delurk myself a little bit to help. Talking about my past eating disorder is VERY difficult for me and I really do not discuss it with anyone in my life. I guess I just wanted to say that there is hope and it is possible to control it. I watched every morsel of sip I took for almost 7 years. I do not know how it got easier but it did..and eventually I just let it go...
I am here to talk too even if I do not always post.
