Hi everyone!

This is my first time using the web to talk to people, but I'm at a huge loss. My ED is ruining my life and tearing me apart from the inside out. To everyone else, from looking at me and my life, I have it all. But, in reality, I'm killing myself with binge eating, excessive drinking and feeling depressed/guilty all the time. I'm so embarrassed about what I do to myself and I wanted to get other opinions on what I can do - NOW, today to start getting healthy and get some control in my life. Ideas? Thanks.

have you been to your GP or talked to someone you trust. I've found facing it and admitting iit the hardest but I've realise I can't move on until I've done this. x

Thanks so much for your reply. I've been bulemic for almost 25 years, I've been in/out treatments and actually was in recovery for a solid year and a half, but now I'm hidding it from my new husband and will be seeing my doctor tomorrow. I travel a lot for work and it's hard for me to join a group (which seemed to help last time). I'm hoping that this site will help me express myself and get feedback from others.

I took a self inventory of my feelings. Sounds silly yes but when I began to list all the things that bother me(not the ed) I realized that most of them I can fix. As I slowly am beginning to fix things I find my need for bingeing is still there but the desire is going away..does that make sense. Like I'll start eating and then go for more but nothing really sounds good. It almost seems wierd sometimes...

I love the idea of a self inventory. Kinda afraid of what I'll list, but this may prove to be helpful. I so need to get back in touch with myself.

You seem to be ready to fight and get rid of your demons once and for all. So I think you should get yourself into another treatment faciliy and maybe your strong will to get better will do it this time.
By the way are you German. I am and I spell my name the same way you do?

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
