don't know what I want

Posted on 06/22/09, 12:01 pm
So I'm REALLY confussed and don't know what to do. I know we all have our good days and our bad days with ED and all, but on my bad days I'm adimate that this is what I need to to and this is what I want. Even on my good days I wonder how long it will last. It never lasts and I don't know why. I can start doing well but it never lasts more than two weeks and then even if it seems like nothing happened, I suddenly switch back to restricting and massive exercise. My therapist says she has no doubt that some part of me wants recovery or else I wouldn't be going to see her and I wouldn't have ever said anything, but that for some reason I'm holding on to ED. Seh says he does something for me but I can't figure out what. I'm not happy with him and I'm not happy w/out him, but it seems like I'm happier w/than w/o. Even so I just feel like I'm crazy adn don't know what to do. I feel like there's two of me, I really feel crazy. Is this really what I want and I'm just not ready for it? Do I not really want it? why does it seem to switch for NO reason after a week or 2 of doing well? Am I crazy? I don't know what I want anymore =[

    You're not alone! Since you have two separate behaviors before you. Could you separate them enough to do a pros and cons list of each two weeks.
    Do you seek a balance between the two and could use some help finding that?
    Do you do the latter out of guilt or panic?
    Which one to you feel more content, at peace with self,healthy?
    I hope you find your way! You will!
