      Type: Anorexia

      I developed an eating disorder At 9-11 it later developed into a serious state of anorexia. Eventually i had to make my way into a couple different treatment centers and felt unbelievably huge and just wanted to lose more weight. A few years later i had a daughter my little miracle and still to this day suffer from not eating a normal way of life. Am very ashamed

      Treatments

      Dietitian Consult Not Working
      I felt like i had to obsess more about the food that i ate and just hated it.
      Group Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      It seemed to help a little to let things go in a safe setting
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      I have not found a therapist outside of intensive care that really helps.
      Remuda Ranch Considering
      It was a safe environment but when i went i wasn't ready to go.
      Support from Friends & Family Considering
      I don't really have friends . I stay at home raise my daughter and basically isolate.
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      It seemed to help obsession not be so strong. I now am feeling like it doen't work anymore. I have been on it for about 8-9 years.
    • Close Parenting Toddlers (1-3)

      I have an two year old and we are struggling to keep her gaining weight.

      Treatments

      Patience Working / Worked
      I just have to be patient with her and give her more time to eat. And to not take it personally if she refuses to eat. I also act as if it doesn't bother me if she doesn't eat. YES this is working
      Positive Reinforcement Working / Worked
    • Open Sexual Abuse

      I was molested when i was four by my friends dad. I still have flashbacks to this day. when i was 17 i never had sexual relations with anyone.
