Getting help

I started conciling I've only been going for two week. But it seems to help tho she's wanting to open up old wounds and work on what my father did. And I weighed myself and I'm down to 110 and I have to force myself to eat. It's hard but I'm getting there hopefully I will continue to get better and that opening these wounds (that made me stop eating and cutting at the time) won't make things worse.

By opening the wounds you can confront the problems, analyze them and start working past them. Burying them does no good because they will come back out of nowhere and hit you hard so by facing them and working past them you can begin to heal. I'm grateful for my therapist. By making me open up i was able to discover alot of my issues and am working past them everyday

I made some major breakthroughs in therapy, and it was incredibly painful before the healing began. I hope you are able to stick with it and process those buried feelings.

Dear Tigerlily, It breaks my heart to think of what you've gone through in your life. I'm sorry for that pain and trauma.
I am really glad to hear that you're going to a counselor. Those wounds really do need to be opened up and dealt with. They don't go away on their own.
I hope you will stick with the therapy because I think it will help you alot. It's difficult to look at the thing that is making your life so hard, but if you get healed there, it will bring healing everywhere.
I will pray for you and ask Jesus to bring healing to your mind, body, soul and spirit. God bless you. You are loved and cherished.
