Hello,

This is my first time posting.. I recently have had a lot of physical problems from years of laxative use.  I physically can’t handle taking them but I also can’t stop.  Inpatient has been suggested several times but no one really understands the pressure of being single, paying for everything myself, and needing to work to have health insurance.  I’m so afraid of losing my job as well.   I don’t have a lot of support so to even entertain the idea is very hard.  If I ever did it I feel like I’d be left there completely alone.  I haven’t told anyone how I really feel, but I don’t think I can ever stop talking them unless I was forced to.  I truly feel lost and alone.  Thank you to anyone who has time to respond.
