    • About Me

      Depression, Eating Disorder, Alcohol Misuse, self-harm, personality disorder. I have been suffering with anorexia for over 20 years which developed into b/p, Ive had ocd's all my life, Ive also got depression, anxiety and all of the nasties that goes along with the rest. I am in therapy and only now realise the concept of healing. It is frightening and I'm struggling but trying my best.

      From xxEmxx Wednesday

      Hey, i still haven't got my head screwed on enough to answer the email just yet. am tossing up between going to bed early or rolling a joint. cos apparently it wont slow my metabolism, i'll just get fat if i get the munchies. which i dont, so weed is back on the menu maybe. on the other hand, if i dont, it will be three weed free days... i dunno.
      how are you going? the dietician app was tough/challenging. tomorrow is dr and group. and i have to decide whether i'll withdraw for the rest of the semester or just finish the one unit that is less fucked up. i'm shit at decision making. but the new disability support person at uni is helpful/understanding.
      hope you're ok. i know you have therapy tomorrow, hope it goes well.
      xoxo

      From xxEmxx November 2

      hey. will write to your mail tonight. last week i missed my psychiatrist app cos i was stoned/asleep but went to all others. this week i had gp and will have dietician and group as well, which i'll go to.
      i want to buy something that will speed up my metabolism. because i've actually put on weight, found out in the dr's office and i'm so distraught. felt like a nightmare. my bmi is still in the healthy range but its gone up and i cant handle it at all. now the dietician has to help me lose weight. the gp said shit about addressing the emotional distress about my body image etc but i dont know how. and now i'm scared to smoke weed cos that can slow metabolism down. fuck. not so good. anyway love you to bits, hope the outing goes ok hun xoxo

    • Close Eating Disorders
      Type: Anorexia

      since i was 8, it continued but after the first bad bout i decided if i can get through this on my own i can do anything on my own, it' never left and i didn't know. everything went tits up a few years ago and i found that i still had the ana. No one told me and it is very confusing because people usually assume your parents would get you help etc so they apparently just assumed the same for me.

      Prozac Not Working
      made me ill
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      it takes ages but it's drilling through on some level now. i actually have a few good days sometimes
    • Open Personality Disorders

      My thought patterns was/is so ingrained that I didn't even realise it. It feels as if I lost most of my life coz I wasn't and still isn't thinking the right thoughts. I twist things and sometimes realise it sometimes don't

      Treatments

      Talking Working / Worked
      It makes me realise what "normal" people think and how extremely wrong I am sometimes
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Working out why I think the way I do and seeing situations from all angles makes me realise when I dont think right I see things differently but it is frustrating because it makes me realise how badly I twist things and that kicks into depression
