I'm having a VERY difficult time with so many other issues in my life right now. I feel like the world's biggest fuck up in fact, and I'm beginning to lose my willpower to keep my head above water with this ED thing. I got so sick during my last starvation episode that I swore to never do this in front of my girls again and to keep myself healthy for their sake. But now I feel like I'm not a good mom anyway because I'm always tired and in pain...and I'm beginning to eat less, which leads to eating even less until I'm no longer eating anything at all, regardless of my attempts to do so. I don't know what to do...I know I'll feel better if I just don't eat...yet I also know what this leads to with me.

You accept that you will die or be very sick if you continue starving yourself. So, despite your depression and pain, get up, call the doctor, and see her/him. During the appt. ask for a therapist recommendation. Call that therapist immediately and get yourself in. Make it a dire need. You do not need to be suffering this way- you are WORTH the effort and deserve to LIVE.

PS: In your kiddos' eyes, you will always be a good mommy, but if you get some help now while they're younger, you will be an even better mommy that has strength and energy to play longer with them.

They love you, and we love you and we can't wait to see you in a better place.

Don't put yourself down about not being a good mom. You are a good mom.But you are sick and need help. So go see the doctor before you spiral all the way down. Because you don't want to go to go inpatient and be away from your kids. Help yourself right now.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
