Something’s not right

no one is listening

no one is listening

i am struggling with my eating but nobody is listening to me about it and everyone just keeps ignoring it because i am not underweight but i honestly feel like this will be the end of me one day. i have tried EVERYTHING i can, the butterfly foundation, private psychologists, public eating disorder treatment team (they wouldnt even look at me because i had too many other issues) and private clinics arent an option for me at the moment either. i have tried self help i have tried anything and everything i can think of but i am either turned away or it doesnt help i have been living with this for over 15 years and the damamge it has done to my body is ridiculous but because i am overweight anytime i go to anyone they just tell me to eat healthy and loose weight. i dont know what to do except cry and give in to the voice in my head i am too tired to fight it anymore and no one will help me so i might as well just let it take me.

@Bow the butterfly foundation couldnt find any providers in my area (i live in a small town with little resources) and the closest ones were in another state. I have asked multiple times to see a dietician and have been ignored everytime because my problems apperantly arent serious enough. I really dont have any hope left that help is out there for me maybe for some people but apperantly i am not one of them. thank you for your thoughtful post.

I'm really sorry that your experiences have been so invalidated so much @Eden1919 . Even though you don't feel or can't see it, there is always hope and always help, I think sometimes we have to have other people hold that space for us for a while though. Sitting with you @Eden1919
