and going out of my mind

hi
i'm cari
been fighting with anorexia for about 7 years now...
it sucks
i'm over it

i was doing really well, doing a self recovery kind of thing
then i flipped out

today has been the worst
i haven't been able to eat all day
i'm literally having a nervous breakdown about eating a piece of freaking bread! a piece of bread!!!! this is so stupid!!!
i lost 6 pounds since monday
thats not good
i don't know where it went
i wasn't even trying
i want to eat
i need to eat
but i can't

i just want to cry and scream and kick the walls
i'm so frustrated

sorry to make such a psychotic entrance here...

You have self-worth. You can have something to eat- you are worthy of it, and you deserve nourishment. Think of it like that. Just start slowly.

Tell yourself that you had a relapse and that tomorrow you will start fresh. You will eat breakfast, lunch and dinner if you can handle all three. It doesn't have to be a big portion, just a start because you know what ED will do to you if you let him.

In this community we fully understand and welcome psychotic entrances! Why don't you try some broth or soup? I find that when food freaks me out, liquids are a little easier to handle. And tomorrow is a new day. Relapses are par for the course. Best of luck.

(((HUGS))) I feel ur emotions hun I have been there and still fighting it...its a life long battle. Just take it a day at a time.Also do u have someone to talk to, counselor, doctor...nutritionist.They could really help. What ever u do don't try to gain those 6 pounds back in one day that will make it worse. Just maintain today ;) and try to eat, maybe 1/2 piece of bread now and the rest in a little bit, maybe put something on it ...
Many hugs
