3:30 Again!

Apr 09, 2008 03:27

It's becoming a pattern again, no matter what time I go to sleep or take my sleeping pill, I keep waking up at 3:30 am. It really is getting to be a drag. I'm completely exhausted, yet I can't get back to sleep. I've been on a horrible bing/purge cycle the last couple of days, it probably coincides with it. Haven't had much luck getting out of ( Read more... )

I once suggested to a friend that she think of ED was this slobby guy who wears sleeveless shirts and sits around swilling beer, making drunken stupid comments and just generally being gross. In my scenario ED also smells bad...b.o. and yuckiness abound.

Why listen to HIM??? His oppinion shouldn't count one bit.

I think it's funny that so many people think of e.d. as a man. I always think of it as Ana- a woman. And girls are way more bitchier than guys. My ana really is quite clever too. Slut.

You're doing great Timsbird. Telling Ed no, no, no. Stay strong. Don't go back to it. Also, try reading in bed before you go to sleep. Read until you feel drowsy. And take a warm bath or hot shower before bed. It'll warm and relax your muscles. If all else fails, try hot milk. Sounds weird but it works for old people so why not?

I'm sorry this is so hard right now :( But I am happy that you are continuing to be so strong and determined! I wish that I could be there to somehow help you through the day. Do you have anyone that you could invite over to just hang out? Not even to talk about ED stuff with, but just to be with you for some of the harder hours of the day? Just an idea...

I really appreciate your concern Sarah, you're such a good friend. I wish I did have someone that could come over and be with me through the hard times. I had someone a while ago but she had to move away. Our husbands are in the military and hers got new orders. It's hard to find people I feel close to when they're always coming and going. I have found I put my gaurd up a lot so that I don't get hurt. Journaling again is starting to help. I think I'll be updating a lot more.
