ow-w-w!

My anorexia was from not knowing when my next meal would be as a kid, but I am pretty sure the effects on physiology are the same. Yes, they are dangerous bedfellows. One feeds the other. So to speak.

Keep posting, jasgall. Tell us what's up. Maybe with a nice plate of sliced apples?

If th library computer wouldn't hav kicked me off i wouldn't hav ex plaines mire. I was sexualiy assaulted when I was 8 bu my sitter's 11 year old son. I am disabled and couldn't get away. I developed round 2 of PTSD after realizing th full extent of what had happened to me in Janurary. I have no idea what brought on the flashback, but PTSD triggers EDNOS all the time.Thanks for the support.

And the other way around. Your eating disorder can trigger the PTSD. Or, as is my case, the irregular spikes in the blood sugars can trigger just about every crack in the system.

When I start getting sketchy, my hunger factor is the first thing I inventory. Neglect factors taught me how to turn off my hunger alarms at a very early age. In my skin, the connection between steady blood sugars and mental stability are indisputable.

Absolutely, Arfie!

Since I started taking glycine after a test showed extremely low levels, my whole mental/emotional state seems to have balanced out some. I know I can get so caught in avoidance, that I can hardly bring myself to eat - and when I'm in that state, eating the right foods is nearly impossible - I get to where I have to eat, and I eat something unhealthy.
