Asking for help but getting worse?
I recently opened up to my therapist about my struggles with food and she sent me to get a medical evaluation. I was told I don’t have a full blown eating disorder at this point but I’m “on the verge”. Since opening up about it, my restriction and purging have gotten worse really fast and it’s scaring me. Has anyone else experienced this? I’m at the point that I know I need help but I don’t necessarily want it yet. I don’t feel like it’s bad enough yet, but I’m unsure what “bad enough” actually is. I’m so confused. Please help.
i personally don’t believe that you can be ‘bad enough’! i understand what you mean, and i can understand how difficult it is when you can’t feel validated for your problems. eating disorders take time and effort to get rid of, and it is sounds very difficult and painful for you. you will get through this! i know it! keep going! if you ever need any support or anything at all, please feel free to message me or any other listener 💛 we’re here for you!!
