Eating Disorded and Loved Ones Group

You know you have a problem when you go to an eating disorder meeting and feel like a failure because you're not skinny enough to be there.

At least that's how I feel...it's crappy.

I still don't feel sick enough.

An odd feeling isn't it? But when you know you need help, you need help. Regardless of how 'severe' or 'far enough' you think your condition is. We all need support for something; it just is more evident in some people's cases than others.

It's a good thing you aren't so skinny (think 'post concentration camp survivor' pics that you see of anorexia skinny) such that you need extreme medical intervention. That would be frightening.

You can PM me if you feel like talking about it.

I might PM you as this dramatic day ensues.

I know you're saying exactly with the physician and therapist ladies kept saying. I know I should listen but ugh...its not easy.

Will try to reply to your PMs as soon as I can. Have to be the director at a rehearsal today.

Yeah, it isn't easy to listen. Particularly when you have your own viewpoint about your condition, and sometimes you get the feeling that no one really understands what's going on in your head. I guess part of the thing about therapy is chipping away at some of those preconceptions.

That's okay, I've been so busy myself, I haven't even had the time to write it out and send it in a PM. I don't even know what to say haha, but I have so much in my mind.

It's very true, I dunno. It's ugh, so annoying.

[cierratweek]

[obeselee]

[cierratweek]

I suppose that's the best way to look it, huh? Thanks.
