Help for an eating disorder

Help for an eating disorder

Hi everyone

I am anxious and scared 😞

I have an eating disorder on top of everything else I have - BPD, PTSD, depression, anxiety

I saw my amazing GP this morning and he has suggested that he will speak to his colleagues who can recommend a therapist specifically for eating disorders in the local area. He will look into this today and apply for funding and then i will be able to see someone.

But I told him that i am scared because i will then lose MY CONTROL. he said that they will help me because at the moment what i am doing is not working and i need someone to help me with my emotions/food/control.

I am frightened that the control will be taken off me and at the moment that is the only thing i have when it comes to emotions and food.

I know there are some issues relating to this and my psych has agreed that yes i need help.

It's the one andn only thing i have right now that i can control and soon it will be taken away from me.

Weighing myself daily is another issue my GP has said.

I hate being challenged. i don't know what to do.

Hi @BlueBay ,

These last 5 weeks sound like they have been really difficult 💛What kind of support do you feel would be most helpful for you right now?

Re: Help for an eating disorder

So hubby tells me just now that he’s lost a certain amount of weight.

im so angry.


I have decided that after tonight’s dinner I’m not going to eat. That’s the only way I can lose

he has no idea just how hard it is for me with an eating disorder

he can eat less and bang he is less weight

I am upset because he says things that he has no idea how it hurts me

he said other things about food I can’t say on here.

Sorry things are so tricky for you at the moment @BlueBay

I’m unfortunately not much help at the moment cause I’m not in a good place myself. But I’m glad your going to see your go tomorrow and plan to talk to them about your eating. I hope your dr can help you.

Just be honest with your dr @BlueBay it’s the only way that they will be able to help you properly. I know that it’s hard but it’s for the best. 💕

Hey @Bow

I couldn’t do it.
Didn’t tell my dr about my eating issue


i know I should have but I’m just too scared I’ll be judged or thought of as being “silly”

I’m triggered atm with a flashback of something that happened to me years ago. I’ve emailed my psych.

hope you’re ok. I know you’re struggling atm.
take care xxx

Re: Help for an eating disorder

i am at a desperate point with my eating/dieting etc etc etc

i can't get it in my head to go slow with a new way of going about this - my mind is racing with

who cares anyway

i need and have to lose my weight amount now, not next month or next year

i am feeling very destructive and very overwhelmed

it's so hard to do this in a good way

i have to write out a food diary and a exercise diary daily

i will most likely wreck it

it's a vicious cycle

that i can't handle

Hey @BlueBay I'm hearing things are overwhelming right now and your ED is strong but you are stronger 💙

Are you able to get in touch with your supports? It sounds scary and like it's more than you are able to cope with at the moment. Sitting with you 💙
