i'm really sorry to post on here. i know that i should be supporting people and not taking all the time and i'm really sorry. i'm just so fed up with food. i've got bulimia and i'm trying really hard to stop bingeing, to eat more but i'm stuck and it's doing my head in. a huge part of me just wants to give up, but i can't afford it and i have a beautiful little girl to get betetr for...
i guess i just wanted to stop feeling alone and to feel that someone understands this horrible rut i'm stuck in. i'm sorry.
is there anyone who has got 'better' recently? I need some help here.
thanks everyoen for listening.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
I have got better recently. I first read a book called "Overcoming Binge-Eating" by Dr Christopher G. Fairburn. It was brilliant and helped a great deal.
The second thing was that I found a great church.
I understand completely if that isn't for you, but if not, well I would definitely buy that book. Hope this helps. Thinking of you. xx
What kind of list are you on? Can you see a doctor and get a referal to a therapist? That helps me and church. I just became an active Christian 3 years ago and it feels wonderful. That way you could even talk to a pastor if you can't afford therapy. If your partner has an issue with church, go by yourself. That's how I started and then one day my husband started coming along.
I think "life without ED" is a great book for bulimics.
I'm on a waiting list for CBT, but i've been on it for nearly a year and a half so am losing patience with it a bit now... i've just started seeing a counsellor, but she doesn't deal directly with food, and it's that that i am getting pretty fed up with and longing to change.
yes, i DO want to recover - more now than ever - as i have a little girl to get better for, but it's having the support to do and the right support. i really think this CBT treatment i'm waiting for will help, but i don't know how much longer i have to wait.
