Just been diagnosed
A few days ago I was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, my doctor is sending me to a ED clinic tommorow to be examined and get my blood taken- if the results are bad Ill have to be amitted to the hospital. Im so scared and the thing is I cant stop. I cant eat and I know its stupid but I just cant. If I do eat I work out after to burn it off and my doctor said no working out- its just I cant stop thinking about not eating and I just want to cry.... any idea on what I can do to get it off my mind? Thanks
@Pianoplayer23 any hobbies that could distract you??
@Searcher47 yeah but its just hard to get my mind off of it
Hello @Pianoplayer23
It's really sad to hear :(
Actually, the first time I can be free from doing binged eating is writing a diary that also take some quotes that can motivate myself
Maybe it can help dear :)
I get what you feel. I can't eat either. Sometimes I will binge, and after that I will work out really hard. I don't know what to do either :(
It is good that you have been reffered to an ED clinic though. The sooner action is taken, the sooner you will be able to take steps towards recovery. The advice and support of trained eating disorder professionals can help you regain your health, learn to eat normally again, and develop healthier attitudes about food and your body.
If you are feeling guilty then remember, avoidance and resistance only make negative emotions stronger. Instead, try to accept what youre feeling without judging yourself. You will get through this and after a while it is possible to get used to a new routine.
At least they want you. No ED clinic wants me bc I have schizofrenia too :(
