Everyone kept bugging me to go to an eating disorder recovery program. Even at 19 I knew I had a problem, but thin was in and every time I looked in the mirror I looked fat and when I ate I felt fat, so the last thing I was thinking about was an eating disorder recovery program. Well it took me until 26 to get tired enough of the binge purge parties, daily laxative abuse and constant depression. If it was this, it was drugs or men.
I finally listened and went to eating disorder treatment. While I did well in treatment, I kept relapsing afterwards, but never as bad as before I got into eating disorder recovery. While I still struggle with my eating disorder recovery today, I am far better off than before I went to eating disorder treatment. By the way, I happened to go to The Women’s Center for Healthy Living.Com. They are the best!
Before I forget, don’t give up. If The Women’s Center can’t help you, they will find you somewhere that can. I had to make so many phone calls, or my parents did, that I almost gave up and giving up would have meant a life full of despair, eventually leadnig to suicide. You can do it. call someone today.
