Do you have a strong support system in your life? Do you see a therapist? As I am sure you know, eating disorders (whether anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, or EDNOS) are never about the food. There are always underlying issues fueling the ED. We use food to cope with our emotions and bury feelings that we'd rather not address. Once the underlying emotional issues are faced and dealt with, the eating disorder loses its grip on us.
I wish I had a way to take away your pain. I wish there was an easy answer I could give you to make everything better. But just know that there is hope. Set small goals for yourself everyday or every week. Write them out on paper and/or tell someone about them to hold you accountable. They don't have to be big things. Healing takes place in small steps. Take one day at a time and remember that you are strong and can overcome anything you put your mind to. I would highly encourage you to seek out professional help and support. You don't have to go through this alone.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
