I guess I've been struggling this year but for the most part the eating disoder was under control except for the couple months were I was using amphetamines to fast. I've recently crashed again meaning I'm hindering my progress by going back to old coping strategies that aren't so healthy but give me a reason to get up each morning. Fasting again because it makes life manageable in the most unmanageable way. My e.d counselor tried to help me with some other coping strategies but I'm stubborn and too depressed to try.

i am sorry you are struggling so much. eds and depression, anxiety go hand in hand. do you know what started the depression back up therefore the slip up? proud of your many months your eating disorder was under control. thats huge. remeber its baby steps and i think you should be honest with you therapist, maybe she can give you some small ways at first so it is not so overwhelming.

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...
