How can I help myself?

Question

At the moment I'm falling deeper and deeper into these food issues. I've drastically lost weight and keep losing more; which makes me happy for a short period of time but then only Spurs me on to eat less. My whole life is just consumed by exercise, anxiety and guilt that I even want food. Everyone is worried and frustrated with me for not eating but it's not that easy! I don't know how to overcome this and honestly I'm scared to.

Answer

Can you see a therapist? You need to take care of the mind for the body to be healthy. I hope you will find healing hun and have a healthy body and mind. Big hug to you.

Answer

Try and get help before your food issues escalate.

I made the mistake of letting them rule my life and I wish I could have just stamped those thoughts out before they became a part of me.

Answer

I suffered from an eating disorder for many years. One day, I decided that I didn't want to be trapped anymore. It was hard at first. I took it slowly. Pulled myself away from triggers (magazines, eating disorder support groups, cut down on the exercise).

I still have the thoughts that creep up every now and then even though it's been about a decade. I don't know if I will ever be 100% happy with myself but I know that it's much better than it ever was.

If you need support or someone to talk to. Please feel free to let me know.
