Hey everyone.
I really never thought that i'd be doing
this, 4 years down the line, and i'm
slowly recovering from anorexia -->
builimia, its just i've been seeing a
psychologist lately, and hes been going
through a process called cbt - cognitive
behavioural therapy, but fo rme it doesnt
seem to be working, because i've always
had a severe anxious personality, havign
en ed affected me really bad, and I still
have terrible body image and confidence
problems, although my eating is back on
trach (despite putting on weight im 5'4
and 122lbs, which isnt bad but im a really
curvy build and heavy busted), I still get
really really down to the point of hatign
myself and wanting to self-harm - a
problem which id thought id logn got over.
I'm hoping to go to uni next year but im
scared my confidence will affect this as
it has affected all my past relationsjips
with friends and also with my current
boyfriend...
I really just need some advice,
thanks, bye everyone, x x x
hope you are all okay. (hugs)

Hiya meygan, I am glad to hear that you
trying to recover. You are worth so much
more than this ed...Everyone is.
Ed certaibly affects you body- image and
puts down your confidence...But the best
thing you can do to get it back is to
continue doing the things you like and
trying new things. Anxiety can be
overcome (are you taking any meds for
this?)
try talking to a counselor or
someone...Somethimes that's all you
need.
Ihope you feel better, sorry I couldn't
guve you better advice. Take care.
