WORST: So far ED driving me to drink and self injury

deleted_user 11/19/2008

Best- meeting people who are supportive and truly understand and aren't judgmental!
Worst- comparing myself to everyone else in treatment, feeling like I can't stop the B/P cycle

BEST: Realising how wonderful and supportive my husband is (although I did know it!)
WORST: Putting my husband through this rollercoaster ride....

deleted_user 11/20/2008

BEST: While i was losing weight, Looking good, being told I looked good and I was an inspiration... I felt wonderful...

WORST: Realizing I was still messed up and still needed help, even tho' I looked better....

deleted_user 11/20/2008

Best: learning how to open up and be honest about my ED in IP... and the clarity and self reflection that followed treatment. Mentally, I don't think I could ever be that far gone again.

Worst: Continuing to struggle. Wanting to die rather than continue to struggle.

deleted_user 11/20/2008

Best: Getting out of there..

Worst: Leaving my family behind(mainly my children)

I will never forgive myself..........
