I'm new here. I have had an eating disorder for 15 years- minus the 9 months I was pregnant with my son. I don't know how I managed that but did. I have been through counseling and countless medications but nothing really lasts and I go right back to it. I have PTSD and many triggers that I am still learning about. I have also noticed once a month when I have PMS there is NO stopping my ED... I need new tactics to not fall back into ED so simply!

Glad you are here. Many of us are at different points of our recovery/journey through our EDs so I know you will be able to find tons of people on here to relate to. Don't hesitate ever to reach out for support.
I can totally relate to the PMS thing you mentioned. Oh boy, can I ever!! LOL.

Welcome to the site. A lot of us have experienced years of ED but even after years of suffering with feelings of hopelessness some of us have recovered. I havent caught up with all that I missed in my years of ED-obsession but at least eating and food are no longer a problem. Its fantastic. There were major life changes involved as well as a gradual return from a virtually fat-free, high carb diet to a more normal diet. I dont know if youre looking for specific dietary guidelines (and one size doest fit all) but learning to eat fats has helped so much. They make me satisfied so I dont suffer cravings any more and the obsession has gone!
