thank you. Gunna ring my gp hopefully thursday but then i still dont know cause i still havent had a morning where someone is not in the room next to me . I don’t mind saying it to my gp cause they know abused laxatives before & cause slight problems. Its just a bit uncomfortable saying it while family near. My family found out i was using laxatives years ago annd would have no idea now & its just embarrassing.

But my family going to back to work soon, thursday so ill be able to restrict and have control and planning to start restricting & hiding food after thurday.

These two hour informal ‘get togethers’ are designed to connect individuals to other like-minded people within their communities; offer wellbeing support and share interests and skills.
We also run Open Door Calm spaces on a Wednesday. These 2 hour sessions also offer guidance on self-help techniques which can help you to ‘ground yourself’ and feel better – both in that moment and in the future.
There is no waiting list, but please call us in advance on ..... if you would like to attend any of our sessions.
Also within ....., we offer Personality Disorder Peer Support Groups and Hearing Voices Peer Support Groups. I’ve attached a referral for you to complete if these groups are relevant for you. Once you’ve completed the referral send it back to us and we will contact you to discuss our Peer Support groups further.
Wheres the 6 weeks one and is the peer supoort groups with peer supoort workers. Feel like i literally know all peer support workers in my area now so i wouldnt wanna do that
Went out with two friends today. Was really anxious to cause food. We went to nandos. Now im feeling proper guilty. I had a reall nice day though. Was a friend from school and i have seen her a good few times since then. Shes at uni so a proper party person so im going to meet her a Nottingham again some time soon to go on a night out + her friends and im actually really excited but scared. Shes going back to uni tomorrow - nottingham and she wants me to stay over for freshers. Woildnt that be weird if i dont go uni there? Im defintly going in november for her birthday.
Other friend ended up meeting us, know from school but i hvent actually meet her since school so that was really nice. So like 4 years ago i think. And she was just so shocked at how skinny i am now. I mean was i fat in school. Probs just healthy. My eating disorder got really bad literally right after school so i was pretty healthy looking at school. But my other friend know my mental health is bad but i dont say anything about food cause i dont want to feel pressure when i do eat & yeah other one dont know have MH since havent spoken to her since but she may of told her. But anyway i sound so lazy since ive basically felt like ive done nothing since school. They have a lot of things to say and i literally have nothing and that felt really shitty and like im boring.
And i just cant say how triggered i am by her saying how much weight ive lost since school:'(. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭did she mean i was fat at school or what. I dont think ive ever acfually been overweight so maybe just saying i lost a lot. Triggering either way.
I also am restricting again. I weighed myself this morning and im back to underweight. Well tbh i dont think i was actually healthy weight on tuesday like i said because i round up the numbers by a lottt. just incase, like i do with calories. But anyway i still have lost weight since then. So now had nandos i dont want to weigh myself.
Nice day anyways.
As awkward as the weight comments may have been for you i dont think anything was meant by them. More than likely it was just idle conversation, and maybe even a compliment. Probably difficult and not much help to hear, but try not to put so much stock in the term underweight.
Having said that I do empathise. I had a long period of being very underweight after a few personal issues, and it did damage my opinion of myself. I'm not the best person to advise, but I do hope you start to feel better about it all soon.
I can hear that you are finding things difficult at the moment, and it sounds really distressing to be experiencing these feelings and thoughts. You mentioned that you feel that there is no hope, this can't be an easy emotion to be feeling. Would you like to talk more about what's led you to feel this way today?
