Don't think in terms of "days" i.e "today is a bad day", think in terms of hours. This way, you'll be less likely to binge all day if you slip up in the morning.

bluestickienotes99 » shotgunxsinner7 I had a major breakdown for one day. I just went home and cried. I had to tell myself over and over that I was fine the way I was.Try to take a nap or a hot shower. Relax and just keep telling yourself that their opinions don't matter and are completely wrong. Because they are completely wrong. 53 min ago |

shotgunxsinner7 » bluestickienotes99 I told the nurse not to let me know the number. She freaking tells me. Then the doctor saw I was crying, I told him I had an eating disorder, and tells me "Well you're not that thin, so it shouldn't be a problem" and started giving me diet advice. 1 hour ago |

What I learned during recovery
PLAN, PLAN, PLAN IN ADVANCE. Plan what you are going to eat during your day. What are you going to do if you are in a situation that triggers b/p. Thinking all the time about recovery is part of the eating disorder. I need to focus on the real life instead. Don’t trust yourself. If I know I always binge during an X situation (like being alone at home around 5pm), I need to go out at that time or find another activity. I am not strong enough to just be at home by myself and act normally. If I eat those cookies because I am feeling lonely they won’t make my friends appear. Trust yourself, and your body. Tell yourself you are able to do it. Tell yourself that you are not going to gain one pound because you ate a piece of cheesecake. God is an important part of my recovery If I eat tons of food, all the time, I will gain weight. I can’t have cheesecake and hamburger and fries everyday, in every meal, but I can have them once in a while. I purge not only because of my emotions, but it is an easy way to control my weight. I love food.

If you do think you might suffer from an eating disorder, it is important that you talk to your General Practitioner, as there are many physical complications that can arise from being at an unhealthily low weight or from losing weight very quickly, or from purging. We advise you to seek professional help with working on an eating disorder.

My mom sent me to a psychiatrist late last year; I have seen him twice since.. He listens to how I feel and what's going on in my life then prescribes me pills for the symptoms. I only just told him of my bulimia my last visit and his response was, "Oh, that's normal!"......... I wanted to slap him.. I do not enjoy going to my psychiatrist at all.. I don't like that he thinks pills are the only way I can be helped.. I ceased taking the antidepressants, but overdose on my sleeping pills almost every night.. It's almost like being drunk.. I know I shouldn't .. But I like the feeling and sometimes it even makes me feel ok about eating..

Or have you had different ones? It can take a long time to find one you jive with. Maybe I'm a bit cynical, but quite honestly I think there are a lot of shrinks out there who have just as many issues, if not more, than the people they're counselling.
It's your recovery and your choice- if you're going through therapy, you deserve to have a therapist that you connect with. No point in wearing yourself out ;)
