What your family is clearly not understanding is that, ED is NOT a physical problem...it's a MENTAL problem!!! Or should I use the word "condition". I think it sounds nicer. Your body reaps the affects of what the brain is telling it to be true!!! Which is NOT the case...but your body is just the receiver. I think that you have to be careful about how you let them affect you...I know that a lot of times my mom and my brother affect me GREATLY in the area of my ED. They say things that they think are helpful, which turn out to be worst for me in this area and they don't even realize it.
I think what you have to do is keep reminding yourself that YOU know the truth!!! You know that you've been trying to accept and get help. That you've been TRYING really hard to get ahead. You may not be there yet...but you've been trying. And as long as you're honest with YOURSELF!!!!! Then, what they say, may have less of an affect on you. I'm not saying that what they think won't hurt...cause it will, we all want to please our families...even when we don't like them....it's just built into us. So, it may hurt what they think of you...but you don't have to let that affect how you try to recover.
And excuse me missy...what did you say about being drunk and drinking just a day or so ago????? Hmmmmmm. Please take care of yourself my dear. You were doing so well until your little drunken stint. Pick yourself back up and try again. I believe that you can do it. :)
