A bit of encouragement/ advice needed.
I'm going through a really tough period at a moment. I've been trying to recover for a year, and it's been going ok. But I've lost my therapist and I've been backsliding into daily purging. Diaz anyone have any advice? I'm getting a new therapist soon.
@Pearlfromsand - am working back up from a slide toward daily purging, myself...you are not alone! Are there any triggers you can recognize and, then, avoid? Mine is truly just boredom/desire for stimulus and comfort at late afternoon. I find comfort in sensations after "the purge"...deranged as that sounds. If I can just get past that point, ride out the sensation or divert my attention during these times when I KNOW it's going to arise, I get past it. Has been working for me. Do you have any patterns that you can recognize and, then, get around? And is there anyone other than your therapist in whom you've confided about this challenge that you can call/text when you feel the urge?
