Go see a therapist and a nutritionist!!! That's what you should be doing!

Uh, therapy is different every place you go- and it truly has to do with your willingness. You obviously don't enjoy existing this way, so why not find a different, more beneficial way to LIVE?

As for seeing a DIETITIAN (not nutritionist, as they are less experienced and typically have less education), it's not just for people that need to restore weight. They work with your therapist and you in upping your meal plan to a healthy level.

But as we know, eating disorders are not really about the food or the weight. So just seeing a dietitian is not going to really help your cause. Please try seeing a therapist again- that is, if you are willing to make steps toward LIVING LIFE.

Well any well experienced anorexic will tell you that diet pills and vomiting don't work. Sorry you had a bad experience with therapy. Were you completely honest? xo
