I talked with a friend today and told her that I was going to call an ED treatment center in the state I live tomorrow to see if they know of any specialists in the city where I live since I haven't been able to find any myself. I am already starting to change my mind about calling and I'm posting this as extra accountability so that I am more likely to call and not chicken out. Thanks!

Do you want us to bug ya and ask if you called? :)
I was scared the first time I called the treatment center too, but it wasn't too bad. The person I spoke with was very nice and helpful. She did ask a bunch of questions so be prepared for that, but also remember they've heard it all before. They found a treatment plan for me and I'm sooooo glad that I called. Good luck! Ali

Yeah bugging me about calling would be good.
I've been in treatment before and I had a treatment team before I moved so I know what to expect. I think I keep putting off trying to find treatment here is that I've let my behaviors slip and part of me wants to believe that I don't need help; that I will pull myself out of this and be done with my ED. I know that in all reality I'm using my ED to cover up the loneliness and stress and need to be in treatment more than before the move since I no longer have the amount of accountability I had before I moved. Thanks

I will totally pester the crap out of you to call.
You're doing a really good thing for your recovery right now. Well done.

I called the center but I wasn't able to talk to anyone. I know I should have left a message but I totally chickened out. I hate leaving messages. But I have during the day to myself tomorrow so I will give them a call back tomorrow and leave a message if I don't get through to someone. I did some more research online and I called and set up an appointment for an intake session at a Christian counseling center for next week to see if they will be able to work with me or if I need a higher level of care. I will keep you posted and thanks to everyone for your support and encouragement.
