i have relapsed and have been in that situation for awhile now. my doctor is upset and worrried, saying i cant do this on my own, there are no support groups and i stopped going to therapy a long time ago when i felt i didnt need it. well, im in a spot now, my lowest weight ever and i am still having problems eating more even with the possible of ip looming over my head if i dont add more calories and stop the downward spiral. i am 56 and it all seems so unreal, how can a woman my age be doing this? i so need help and support.
Can you go back to your therapist? it's critical for you to have support. If you want, you can talk to me...just send me a private message. I'll do my best to help.

Please don't fee ashamed about your age, mental illness does not discriminate based on that.
Eating disorders are pretty illogical, so age doesn't really matter. We all know its a bad idean no matter if we're 10 or 100, its happening for other reasons.
You have a doc who is worried, so you know they care. Trying hard to listen to people who care could make the difference, knowing their advice comes from te heart might make you more inclined to respond.
I still believe in you, work hard listen and aim for some small steps and consistency. It'l come x
