Starting Eating Disorder treatment
Just this week I started the ball rolling to enroll in an Intensive Outpatient Program for my eating disorder. I have three different doctor appointments this week (requirements to enroll), and meetings with my boss and HR to figure out medical leave from work. I'm a bit nervous to commit to one month of intensive treatment, and one month of only working part time (mostly from home due to the location of the treatment center), but I think it's time to make some significant changes for my health.
I am really happy to know that you're taking the crucial step of getting your life back on track. I on behalf of the 7 cups of Tea community would like to congratulate you for your endeavor. I know its going to be tough, but that's how life is. My heart says that after this treatment you'll come out as a better individual and I wish you all the very best for that.
Keep doing what you're doing mate, coz you're doing it right!
Thank you @therapinto , I really appreciate it <3
I am so glad to hear that, love. It's difficult to get started, but in the end, you will look back and realise that you gave yourself the best gift of all - the gift of new life... new hope... and a new beginning. I send you my best.
@ellejae18, thats a great decision to have made. I know someone who almost waited too long and was very bad off for a while. She is doing much better but will have some long term effects from it. Im really proud of you for making that first step. Dont give up on it and if you need extra support, come to 7 cups.
