I have suffered from Anorexia at 14 to 19 and bulimia for 27 years.
I have started drinking a bottle of wine a night but need to stop this self destruct. I haven't had a wine for a week and am trying to control my eating and have lost 3ILs. I am 8 stone 4 and 5Ft 6 but think I am fat. rainbow

I'm 80k in debt and I don't know how to move forward.
I think of suicide because of the debt yet run a company so am seen as successful. I was abused as a child but it is not an issue.
I have 2 gorgeous young boys and a lovely husband who knows nothing of this.
Don't ask me to tell him as I can't. Its not an option.
How do I start to understand what normality is?

i won't tell you to tell your husband but i will tell you that you need to seek therapy. i know youre in debt and that money is an issue for you but you would seriously benefit from therapy, and if you really can't manage to afford it at least call an eating disorder or suicide hotline. you can google the numbers... clearly you know that you are loved by your sons and your husband, but suicide is still in your head because you feel overwhelmed and suffocated by thoughts of debt and eating. you owe it to your family but mostly to yourself to get better and be happier. there are also people who can help you with the debt. don't give up...
