Eating Disorder - Yeah, I have one

Oh god, I have been repeating the Serenity Prayer to myself over and over again.  Just trying to gain some peace of mind.  Thank you

((((((HUGS))))))
I just want to send you hugs, I have know real suggestions, but I am here to listen and offer comfort whenever I can. I know you will get through this tough spot and I am sure you will come out so much stronger.

Thank you so much for your support.  Every little bit helps.  Honestly.

Hugs Sweetie,
Hot penning - pen to paper and just write, don't correct spelling, grammer etc.  Just keep writing.  Gets that nasty stuff out of your head and down on paper, then you can burn it, shred it or throw it away.

At least you were eating protein!  Ice cream sandwich is better than cookies, cake, chips... 

Heh... yeah there were 3 grams of protein in each sandwich...

My therapist pushes writing and journaling a lot.  I do do it, but sometimes, it's bigger than that and I'm past the "write it down" stage.  Today was one of those days and I just couldn't control myself so I snuck 3 ice cream sanwiches from our freezer at work into my cube and pigged out.  I almost threw them up but I didn't...

I'm totally there with you. Under a lot of stress at home and work, feeling broke and out of control. It's soooo stinking hard to not eat my feelings. No advice, just commiseration. The only thing that keeps me from going completely nuts is my Celexa and my kickboxing class.

Thank you for your empathy.  It's sooo appreciated.  I see my psychiatrist next Tuesday and I think I'm going to talk to him about switching meds or bumping up my Abilify.  I need help. 

I'm sorry.  This too shall pass.  I have to tell myself that everyday.  We live with my mother because we can't afford to live anywhere else right now and she makes our lives hellish.  I hate my mother, that's one big thing I go to therapy for.

You'll get through this and you'll be stronger for it.  And big hugs sister!

Thank you sweetheart.  Yes, living on Long island is beyond expensive.  A decent one bedroom (and when I say decent, I mean no bugs or leaking ceilings) costs about $1200 a month.  I'm not kidding (feel free to look it up on Craigs list).

Thank you for your support.

I'm sorry u are going through such a difficult time.  You have many stressors all piling on at the same time and there are a certain number of things you can *handle* and then it just happens it is just too too much. 

If you are planning on moving out and starting a new life just *try* to focus on that  and keep saying *this is temporary*  It sucks but it is *temporary* 

I am strong
I am strong
I am a strong woman

and you are!

And as far as being the only one, you aren't.  I don't have an eating disorder but I do know what it feels like to feel helpless in a situation you can't stand but aren't able or ready to makes changes for whatever reason

hang in there,

not much help but I pray you can see that u are stronger than u think and that you will get through this
