Do you ever feel so depressed and feel like crying and just hating the day for no reason. Nothing major happened that day. I mean I remember those dark days of depression where it was like that. But I'm on a medication that works, I'm functioning. I'm still struggling w/ ED. I don't know I'm really confused. I'm also so overwhelmed that I can't think straight and I can't think of what I need to get done.

Well I think taking medication is all fine and well but what other help are you getting, tablets wont fix everything you still need the counselling xx

I think you are on track with a support system, we all have down days and crying is nothing to be ashamed of, its a necessary release valve, stay positive and keep up with the supportive postings too xxx

This is going to sound crazy but I actually love the crying. For a long time I used my eating dissorder as a way to not think or deal with any problem, leaving me numb most of the time

Since I really started recovering (two weeks now) I find I cry and I stop and thing WOW, I know I feel pain, but this is great I havnt FELT anything in so long, the same way now when i FEEL really happy I havent felt it in a long time

So I dont know if you felt that way when you were immersed in your ED but if you did I hope you will welcome your tears as a new found emotion tha tyou had surpressed for so long
