So I guess you can't ever beat this shit right? It sure seems like it to me. I've suffered for almost ten years and I just had over $14,000.00 worth of teeth work done, do to root canals, cavitites, and some erosion.
SO you would think that I'd be so traumatized by being in the dentists office once a week since Apr., with all the shots and pain, that stopping would be a NO brainer... You'd think I would be able to quit b/p... But NOOOOOO.... WTF ?! I'm so fucking SICK of living with this !!!! Writing it here is the ONLY place wher people will truly understand this PRISON. There is something wrong with my brain that I can go home and say "Okay ur not hungry and ur NOT going to b/p...cut to me standing in front of the fridge (having no memory of getting there) looking for food. With NO power to walk away.. NONE.. no power... It's like me telling my brain all that stuff didn't register AT ALL// WTF!!!
It's seriously scary people.I've tried it all except an in/house 30 day program, has ANYHTING worked for ANYBODY out there!! ? That doesn't cost $35,000.00
- Sincerely,
A REALLY fucking frustrated Girl

Hmm sounds like you need to find a therapist who is going to help you..... and a nutritionist to set up meals so you can have something to start measuring and getting the sense of how much you really need in a day... I know that totally won't fix all because you also need distractions of all kinds and you also need to find things in your life that you want to get better for.... Have you tried small goals? I did that and actually still am to this day, it is a VERY long process some days doesn't help but it's always good to try. I'd say have an all out bad ED day and record it. Then the next day say alright I binged XX amount of times yesterday so today no matter what it goes down by one binge. As well as put up positive things in your place.... I have post it notes everywhere! Things like food isn't the enemy, ED is. I am worth it, I can survive without ED.... you can make your own up to suit you better. Take care :)

You should see a therapist if you not already and a nutritionist. I'm anorexic and the only thing that helped was going inpatient for a good 4 weeks. Sorry to say I totally relapsed. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't give it a chance. Believe me you will not find a way to purge in a hospital setting. They watch you like a hawk and work with you on the underlying issues that cause your ED. Buy the way there really is something wrong in your brain as you phrase it. ED is a mental disease.

After supporting my 14yr old daughter for the past 18 months, I can truly understand your desperation, the difference is that you are wanting the help, my daughter doesn;t want help, so you are at a turning point to recovery you have to try every form of treatment that you can find and you will find one that works for you, never give up, small steps forward all the time and pushing boundaries too

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
