Hello everyone. This is my very first post here. And I am very scared. I am using alot of courage to write this. So, please be kind to me.
On Monday I have an assesment for more treatment. I am in treatment right now, but my therapist feeling that I need IOP or PHP right now to get over the hump that I am going through. I don't think that I am that bad. But then I do. It is like I am going crazy. That battle that I am going through. I don't look sick at all. In fact I am very overweight, been told that by my PCP. I don't know what to think about needing more help when I don't look sick. I kinda do feel sick. I know that this sounds like crazy talk. I'm having doubts about more treatment. Gosh, I am crazy. Anyway, I don't know what to do. I do want to get well, but I don't think I am sick enough to be in more treatment, because of my size. HELP! I am so confused and of all of this. Does anyone understand where I am coming from? Or am I all alone with this? Please can some reply back to me, maybe.

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
you are most definitely not alone & I relate to how you are feeling about not feeling like you are 'bad enough' for what seems like really serious treatment. But the truth is, sometimes its hard for us to really see how much we need that help. I am normal for my height and weight and yet the things i do to myself are so dangerous I am probably slowly killing myself and i don't even know it. My therapist wants me to get some lab work done and the thought of it makes me terrified and sick to my stomach. There are days when I feel like I am absolutely fine...then there are days when I really believe in my heart that I need so much more help than what I am getting right now.
Don't ever feel like just the outside doesn't look sick doesn't mean you don't need or deserve help. ED have a way with your mind & i can guarantee you that your voices are just like everyone else's. You are not alone and you deserve all the help in the world. Please be brave and choose treatment. I only wish I was strong enough to ask for that kind of help...we are all here for you and if you need someone to talk to you can always message me

Your not alone. I understand how scary it is. I do agree with Ashley and that you sould try and be brave. As same as you guys. It is hard and the voices do not makes us crazy. Honest. I feel crazy too due to the voices but we all can get better. My height and weight dont match what I am either. I am overweight. But I struggle everyday to try to not listen to the ED. It is very hard. But go with the treatment. It could give you even more strength. You never know what it may have in store in a positive aspect. HUGS. We are here for you. If you need to talk im here.

I knew something was wrong and got help...
its ok... sick is all relative... if you need help you need help...
you don't have to be 70 pounds and dying to get help...
you are worth it :)
My daughter is anorexic/bulimic ,and though underweight ,has had it indicated to her ,by her therapist (Not an ed specialist) ,that unless she is severely under her weight ,they wont take her in ,or give her the treatment she so desperately needs!
This makes me ,as her mum ,so VERY angry!
YOu are ALL entitled to the same ,respect ,love ,support and whatever treatment you need!
Good luck ,please dont give up ,persist in what you want sweetie.
Im here for you ,as i know are the others here.
We`re in this together!
Love ,hugs and very best wishes ,sharon xoxoxox
