...See more Hi, I haven’t really posted on a forum before so I hope this is okay For years now, I’ve always had issues with body image. I’ve always had intrusive thoughts about food/weight and I’ve gone days without eating, then I’ve binged, I can feel so nauseous that I throw up after eating or when I feel anxious/have a panic attack. I used to be fully addicted to sh, so I’m not sure if I could possibly be jumping from one harmful behaviour to another, or if I’ve always been this way and just kept it buried. I’m a mid size person so I don’t think anyone will take me seriously in person and I don’t know if I even should get help, if I need it and how I could get help in person. Can anybody help?

...See more Hi, So I think I may be developing an ED and I'm not sure what to do, or if I even could be developing an ED. I have been diagnosed with PTSD, Anxiety and Depression but the doctors I have seen haven't helped with these, they've just put me on never ending waiting lists for counsellors and specialists that don't bother to talk with me properly or put me on medications that I didn't want/didn't work, so I don't know if going to a doctor is the best thing for me. I was almost kicked out of school last year because my anxiety stopped me from going to some lessons and caused me to have really bad panic attacks. I don't want to go to the school or any of the teachers in case this happens again and I'm in my final year so i don't want to mess things up again. I don't think that anyone in my family would understand or be able to help because they're all busy, I don't have contact with them or I don't feel comfortable to talk about these things with them. I feel out of options becuase most of my friends don't understand me in that way because they don't have mental illnesses (that I know of). Is there anything anyone can do to help? Or that can think of something that I can do to possibly recover?
