Struggling!!!!
Hey guys. I really need some help and support. I am 28 and have struggled with purging disorder, anorexia and night eating disorder for the last 20 years. I went into recovery 3+ years ago after a few attempts at treatment, it finally stuck. I have been in therapy the last year and on meds but my therapist has no ED experience so I have no support with my struggle. I gained almost 80lbs after recovery in a years Time because of the
shock to my system plus hormone issues.. I have lost 30 in the last few months the healthy way. Anyway I have a ton of stress right now in my life and have been struggling with purging. Every day. So bad. I don't know when it is a relapse. When I need more help. Not sure I can stop.

I am sorry to hear that you are struggling again. Unfortunately, not all therapist are trained in all things. The one thing that I have learnt through my struggles is that eating disorders tend to be a symptom more than a disease. Getting down to the root of what started it and why you are turning to it now; is something the therapist should be able to help you with.
That being said, while you are suffering through the effects it is important to have support and understanding, and this is the right place. There are several listeners on here that have been through eating disorders and can feel your pain. If you need to talk, I am here and there are others..
