Eating Disorders Support Group
Eating disorders are marked by an obsessive need to control the intake and/or purging of food. This community is dedicated to those struggling on the road to recovery. Join to discuss your experience with others and find support. Get advice, ask questions, and meet others who are going through similar struggles.
I hope you can eat well today. Stay in touch!
As you come hear to read and post your thoughts, struggles, fears etc I hope you find the strength and encouragement we all need to continue on the road to recovery, whether you be in the early stages or like others (myself included) decades into recovery.
Share what you feel comfortable with and take it one step at a time. Recovery, freedom and sanity is possible. All the very best, Kim :)
Yes, I just had a day of flashbacks yesterday, and very bad body image for the past few weeks. It feel very silly for feeling this way, because, despite a series of awful, abusive relationships, I am now engaged to be married to the most wonderful man I could even imagine in 24 days! He tells me I am lovely so often, but I have such awful body/face dysmorphia, that I have so much trouble believing him sometimes, though I know he would not lie. It is so hard sometimes! I know he gets very frustrated. I think I am also nervous about the wedding, not because of getting married, more just that I am scared of how I will look in my dress. This morning It took me approximately an hour and a half to get dressed because I could not stand my appearance, everything felt too small. I ended up wearing a dress of my mother's :/ OOoof! I had a crying jag last night as well that lasted many hours, triggered by my car not starting while trying to leave work. Little things like that, have been making me so emotional. I have been trying to remember my DBT. That helps!
Anyway, thank you all!
