Hello ,
Please help me with some advices because I am really really worried and dont know what to do .
I have been in recovery from bulimia since beginning of 2011 - eating a healthy meal plan from my dietician and going to gym 3 times a week - but since august my period stopped as I maybe started to loose the weight I gained from last years'binges ... and now , this year is really awesome , I love my body thinner and I eat without guilt and so on ... but I am soo afraid of following the treatment to restore my period back because I am afraid of weight gain if I will have menstruation again ... that maybe estrogen will make my appetite increase and I will have fat stored instead of musles ...
Please help me out here .View Thread
I am also depressed. I was on meds for depression a really long time ago. I have been posting on the depression community as well.
Today I am feeling especially fat, ugly and stupid. I feel like I don't deserve anything good - and that includes food.View Thread
I'm 22 and I have lived in the same town my entire life. I wanted to move away right after high school for college but my eating disorder was very severe at that time and it just wasn't a good idea. So I moved out 2 weeks after high school graduation into an apartment. I've been attending school here for the past four years but I am so unhappy here. Despite being in college for 4 hours I still have 2 years left in school… I have outgrown the area and I need a change. My eating disorder is much more stable now. I had not even considered moving for a few years now and I finally started reading my bible again about a month ago and the first thing I read was about moving. Well I've continued to do quiet time and every time I get freaked out about it my quiet time reassures moving. I started looking and things are falling together.
I found a school with the degree I need at night (I like night school far better than regular college), and I would graduate about the same time. I applied and the application fee got waived due to technical issues. I got accepted and approved for financial aid. I've also found a good area to live in with lots of opportunities- good shopping, snow, skiing, softball (my passion), and an excellent eating disorder program nearby with opportunity for more extensive treatment. I also have a potential job opportunity in the works (nothing for sure but maybe). I REALLY want to move, I've wanted to move for 10 years and this is the only other place I would ever consider living.
Things are falling into place but I still have to talk to my parents since they still help support me (barely though). I feel so guilty for want to leave them, and wanting to live 15 hours away. I think it would be healthy for me to move away and it wouldn't be easy but I would be happy there. Is it wrong for me to want to live my own life even though it will hurt my family? My family is very close knit and I love them with all my heart but I am so unhappy here… The thought of staying here makes me so sad and it feels like I will flunk out of school. I feel SO guilty about moving though… I would come back as often as possible and talk to them often. Reassurance? Anyone?View Thread
thank you for your time

Within the last week I've been eating a strangely low amount of food, for me. I'm not cutting sweets, nor am I cutting anything else. -some of the only things I've eaten in a whole day would be a tube of mini m&ms, one peanut butter cookie, one fig newton twin pack, etc)
If this helps I can list pretty much exactly what I've eaten starting from last Sunday. The most I have eaten so far was today (had I not gone to eat I probably wouldn't have eaten any more than half - not even half - of a left over sandwich for lunch at my work) and that was a bowl of soup almost a whole restaurant serving of fries and half of a quarter of a club sandwich -why does that sound like an incredible amount of food to me right now?-
I do get hungry, but like last night (I work third shift) even though I get something to eat and prepare it, I just don't feel like I want it.
I'm roughly 5'5" and 125 lbs -I don't own a scale so I'm not exactly sure on this point.
I couldn't say for sure if I am depressed or anything... I *feel* fairly fine, but an anniversary of a very close family friend's is coming up, so that may coincide with this all. But, like I said, I'm slightly concerned.
Thank you to any one who answers.View Thread

My EDO/NOS was triggered by a gigantic family tragedy. During counseling I realized I have been a good "candidate" for this all my life but it just came to the surface at the ripe old age of 29
My husband and I are concerned because my sexual ability has decreased dramatically. My first two thoughts were 1) a side effect of taking Lexapro (which I started taking the same time as the EDO started) or 2) a side effect from the starvation and binge/purge.
Any suggestions? Thank you for your support and God bless.View Thread

We ask that you try to avoid including scale numbers in your posts as those can be triggering to others who may be vulnerable. But if you do and/or if you post anything else which you think may trigger others, please add 'Trigger' to the front of your subject line to protect others, who can then decide for themselves whether they're safe enough to look in.
We will not be looking in here as regularly and so we really hope you all will take care of each other.
And if you need a moderator's attention quickly, here are tips on How and Why to Report a Post .View Thread

I have EDNOS. yesterday I went to my doctor and she told me that I am slightly enemic, but that the more concerning issue was that my liver functions are 3x higher than they should be, and she didn't know why. Could my eating disorder have caused this?View Thread
So I don't want to fess up (and my timing could be better... I was just awarded social security -which brings with it it's own mess and such- but it won't kick in till next month so right now my medical and such is still crap) but I've got to... but along with being totally embarrassed by it I'm sort of scared spit-less because I don't know what to expect... I've read the 'what to expect at your appointment' things but I don't know what to expect AFTER...View Thread
I thought I was okay! maybe I am? I dont even know anymore.View ThreadTake the Poll
