Please don't give up! Pleeeeease. You're stronger than you think. I know how awful you feel, and I understand, I really do. And I know how easy it is to give up. But I know you're better than that. I know you want a life without ED. I know you want to be free. So please keep fighting.

"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength."

You know I'm here if you ever want to talk. Message me if I'm not online and I will come on asap.

I am so sorry you are feeling this way, i wish i knew what to say but i am saying feel the same as you described and feel lost for what to do. But i wanted to reply anyway to say you are not alone, and to keep fighting the best way you can, dont give up, you deserve so much more!!
((hugs)) xx

I'm sorry you're feeling like this sweetie...I hope you can find the strength to keep going. I don't know what your beliefs are, but I believe that God is everywhere, watching us and caring for us. Not just up in the sky, but in every rock and tree and animal. You're surrounded by love, and that love wants you to get better. And you CAN get better.

My mom got me this plaque when I was having a lot of trouble: "Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."

Good luck.

there will always be ups and downs through our struggles. When we are down, we learn how to cope and get back up again, that makes us stronger. So I would always say expect relapses, but dont get discouraged. Keep on trying to find a new therapist and you eventually find one that fits you correctly, dont give up hope!

an exercise I do everyday, I look in the mirror and say something nice about myself. It may be a phycail trait like I love my hair, or something like I am a very giving person. When I do that, my day starts on a positive rather than a negative

It's hard when things get us down. I understand. Try and fight the ED! Hope something today will make you smile.

please dont give up the fight as hard as it is. you are worth a great life and many laughs. it is awful and so difficult to fight ED, but i think you can be stonger then he is. fight and win. (((hugs)))

don't give up! so you've relapsed. it's not the end of the world. you can get back up! AND YOU WILL GET BACK UP! the fact that you are talking about it here means you want to get better. something that has helped me tremendously is helping others. every day, i ask god to show me how i can be a blessing. it may be something as simple as complimenting someone or leaving an operation beautiful note somewhere. whatever it is, it gets the focus off of me and my medical problems. fighting your eating disorder is hard and it hurts. we all know that. we all sympathize with you. but maybe if you can shift your perspective, you'll start to get better. start celebrating how far you've come. at least you're here reaching out. at least you want help. you could be isolating yourself. you could be denying you have a problem. you could be going to pro-ED sites. BUT YOU'RE NOT!!!!!!!

instead, you're here and you're admitting your relapse. instead, you're asking us for encouragement and help and advice. instead you're looking for doctors and therapists. YOU'RE TRYING! there's a ton of people in this world who have ED's who don't care. GOD SEES THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO GET BETTER AND HE'S PROUD OF YOU FOR IT! blessings to you! messege me if you need a friend.

Thank you everyone for your support and advice. Today has been a much better day but eating is still difficult. Haven't had much luck with that at all. But I did find a therapist FINALLY!

You all are the best :)

XOXO

I'm really glad that you have found a new therapist, this is a big step and I really really hope s/he is able to help you. You most definitely deserve their support and I really hope that you don't give in and let ed win. I don't know what to say, or what to suggest. I want you to be happy and healthy and I hope you find the strength to get there xxxxxx

Tux, you gotta keep going till the miracle happens. People make it in Recovery, ordinary, every-day people, someone makes it OUT every day, they overcome ED and they thrive and they find peace, they find their way out... I had that thought, and then I had the thought, "Hey. Why not me?"

I hope you have a great day, peaceful thoughts, and be kind to yourself...

that's great news! buy yourself some granola bars or oatmeal. make it something small that you like, something that doesn't take a lot of prep time. that way, you don't have to think about it as much. that's what i do when i have hard time eating. it's either that or i order something.

Well, wow! By the time I read this you have already found a therapist! Good job for not giving up. I love it when I read about someone finding hope in the middle of despair.
