    Not very good. ED has been talking to me again and it is horrible.

    ED= Eating Disorder
    Don't want to say what one it is though.

    It can be tough to go through our emotions @Past User especially if we don;t often, it can be good to sometimes, but if it is really upsetting you then it might be best to take a step away x

    It is quite upsetting and could be triggering so my next comment is going into a spoiler.

    @dancertori

    What do they actually do? how many times do you meet? Do they provide support or do they just pass you onto a physiologist and stuff xx
  • Former MemberFormer Member Miniposter Posts: 810 Part of The Mix Family
    Thats okay @Kasa2103 <3

    I had a really bad day at school yesterday with my eating problems. I ate so much, kept being horrible about my appearance and I wanted to throw up and lose weight. I felt (and still do feel) like a horrible, ugly, disgusting, greedy pig and I feel like I have no control of it. I was the one horrible about my appearance, not other people before you ask. I said that I am fat, ugly, disgusting, a pig, I should throw up, I should lose weight and that I deserve my problems. I hid in the toilets a lot and cried a lot. I didn't actually throw up which I felt partially proud of and partially ashamed of. I feel partially proud of it because I managed to say no to my body throwing up. I did cough a lot though and almost threw up. I feel partially ashamed because it would help me lose weight although it is not the best thing to do.

    @Past User they should meet you between every week-4 weeks, depening on you, at first there job is to asses you, to work out the best treatment plan, then if they refer you to therapy they may reduce or end the meetings, or can carry them on as normal. when i went into psychotherapy i was having therapy 3 times a week and seeing my cpn once, but i needed alot of support at that time, it depends on you.
