you're not alone in feeling this way...a lot of us jump from one eating disorder to another one. take care.

I have jumped to and from those diagnoses, as well, but the best thing is not to let that get in the way of recovery. Search for a doctor that will recommend you to a good therapist, and open up to them. If they're good they will listen and give advice that you can use. Otherwise, find another therapist that works for you. Also, try finding a great dietitian to work with you, that doesn't just throw a meal plan at you and expect you follow it to a T.

When it comes to exercise, when you feel like exercising, try to pamper yourself instead. Just try some breathing exercises instead of running or whatever. Maybe take a warm bath, or draw, or talk to someone on the phone. Don't let that exercise demon force you into painful overdone exercise. It will break those muscles down and hurt you.

I can relate. I have struggled for many years. I'm a "recovered" anorexic, and am now "dieting" because the doc told me I gained too much weight in too short a time on a current med I'm on for anxiety/depression. He's says I'm fine, he just doesn't want me to continue to put on the weight and then my BMI get out of control. I'm not really "fat", but I feel that way as this is the most I've ever weighed in my life even with 2 pregnancies. He assures me I'm fine, but now I'm obsessed with wanting to get the weight off but soooo afraid of falling back into anorexia again. I've been trying to eat healthy and exercise more. I'm trying to keep myself in check by allowing myself to have today off from exercising. ED's are the pits!! Just try to be good to yourself and let yourself have days off. Take it one day at a time.

I doubt myself if I will ever beat this thing. I've tried so many times and am trying again at the moment but with each relapse I get more discouraged. But I think if we encourage each other we might have a chance to overcome the beast. Don't give up.
