I feel so stuck
I think Im slipping and Im scared Im stuck in this again. I feel like this is the relapse that puts me back downhill and I dont understand why this has to happen to me :(

Part of ED recovery are minor lapses, its good that you recognize them even though they might be scary. What are skills you currently possess that can help you get back on track?
@DanielleGonzalesPsyD I honestly dont have any skills. I just had something happen in my life that really hit me hard and I think this is my way of dealing with it.

Tell me how did you manage building up recovery days in the past? I am sure you have some skills you used in the past. Might be difficult to view them as such but we all have things that help us start putting one foot in front of the other.
@DanielleGonzalesPsyD I scared myself really bad with my health. I started binging and when I say binging, I mean really binging. After I gained enough weight I was cleared to go back to competitive swimming, something I was really good at but I had quit when I was 11 years old because of anxiety and OCD. The next thing that kept me on track was school. I just finished my third year and needed the grades to get into nursing so I had to eat to get those grades. After four years of applying Im finally in! Things were going well. Im going away this summer to work as a camp counsellor, I was finally in my program and I had a job I absolutely loved through out the school year. False accusations were made about me and I ended up quitting thats why my ed sparked up again.
