well my dad came back early from his trip....only a few hrs early..but still im not happy about it...o well guess he had to come back sometime......i love him dont get me wrong...its just he hates my ed and he takes this hatred out on me...he just fails to differentiate me and the disorder...so when he makes snide comments about my ED...it makes me feel as though he is making them about me....i feel as though he totally misses the fact that i am not an ED...i have an EDwork today was blah.......i felt as though i kept messing up....so my thoughts jumped to..."u screwed up, u dont deserve to eat".....now i know that this is an ED thought...i have no probably picking them out amongst my other thoughts....then thing i have a problem with is doing something about them...something to go against them

well its okay to wish that someone yuu dont get alog wit doesnt come backk from a trip.i do it all the time.
thats good that yuu are seeing diiference between the ED thoughts and yuur own.thats a good step in the right direction!
awh, i hope things with your dad start to lighten up.
sometimes, when you notice thoughts like that, mentally (or out loud if you are alone) saying something directly opposite helps. like saying (in response to \"u screwed up, u don\'t deserve to eat\" you could say, \"even if i did screw up, i still deserve to eat\" even if you don\'t believe it or it feels weird at first, it can help and eventually it\'ll become second nature and you will start believing the positive voice more and more.
ya, ppl who can\'t relate personally have the toughest time trying to be supportive. He\'s your father and he needs to smarten up, specially because you love him.
All the very best working against those nasty thoughts...breath and tell yourself something believably positive.
I did that today... I didn\'t clean the counter well enough or something, and i\'m like, no lunch for you... I don\'t know why I do that...
Sorry about your Dad... He\'s such a negative person, but don\'t listen to him, just keeping being you.
