Hi people i went to c a therapist last month and after disclosing very personal details with her for the first time in my life, i was told yes i have an Ed (bulimia)and yes i need help and yes they can give me the help i need but because of lack of resourses i'm to be put on a waiting list for about 18month,sorry...Heres a self help book to be getting on with till then!!!!Even my own doctor was appalled she is getting me some help with my anxiety for now.It took evry inch of courage i had inside me to own up and ask for help with my problems and for what??I feel totally and utterly let down. I left that womens room and sobbed like a baby 4 2 solid days. I just feel like i'm right back to square 1 and was wanting to know if anyone else has had a similiar experience.I thought there was something called care in the community??!!I have'nt got a clue what i'm to do now or where i go from here.I just car'nt believe it ,whats really worrying is i'm having problems with my kidneys now will they last 4 18 bloody month??I was told i could go private to be seen earlier?? eh! I pay my taxes like evry1 else that includes the bloody national health service WHY should i pay to go private?I dont have the money for that.Why have they not saw how common a problem this is and done more to get more therapists into the service?? sorry but i'm really annoyed and let down and need to get the steam out xx

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...
the books can really help you just come to terms with the fact that you have bulimia so you can wrap your head around all of that and start to really think about everything so that when you start therapy you're ready and your thoughts are more accessible. i find reading books quite relaxing because they're not so invasive as when you talk to other people, and they've helped me a lot in accepting and understanding my ED.
plus everyone here is here for you at any time, so if you do want to vent again then feel free to talk to all of us!!
