...See more Hi, I'm Louise I'm 37yrs.... im not diagnosed with an ED however I would class myself as having Atypical anorexia... it all started 5 months ago after a old relationship resurfaced... anyways, along with taking diet pills and keeping it a strict calorie controlled diet I also abuse laxatives, to the point it makes me so poorly I find it hard to get through the day as I'm light headed, lethargic , feel sick and wobbly.. I admitted myself into the mental health ward and unknowing that my pych nurse was going to section me the following day anyway... whist in hospital I could not get at my laxatives, diet pills or count calories.. I was left eating the food on the ward as I was encouraged by staff... the 2weeks whilst I was there I put on 2 stone... when I left hospital I realized how much weight I gained I was devastated... I've now gone back to square one... I dont know what to do... I am going g to hide the fact that I have gone back to square one from my mental health team and pretend I'm eating and off the laxatives and diet pills... I'm still not ready to give them up. I still want to lose weight and become slim and beautiful... I have cut down slightly on the laxatives so that's a good thing... what would you do if you where me ??
