Since last year I’ve been getting these depressive episodes. Like feeling really low, thinking about sh with my ed getting worse during these periods, not being able to think about the future just really horrid stuff. Like I’ve been feeling like this since 2 weeks ago again, and I started my period today but because of my ED it’s like really irregular. So I don’t know. Can anyone help? I have exams in a week or maybe it’s because of stress? I don’t know. I also stopped vaping too- so maybe I’m being dramatic?

    Hi @sxmrxn, thank you for sharing your feelings here with us. I'm sorry to hear what you've been going through, I can hear how difficult things are for you. Your feelings are valid, and we hear you.

    It sounds like you're experiencing quite a few health issues from what you've said above. It could be several things, so the best place to start would be to speak to a doctor/GP who can provide their expert guidance and help you with the next steps. How do you feel about speaking to a doctor about what you've been going through?

    I can appreciate that it's also a stressful time for you with exams coming up. It's valid to feel stressed in the run up to exams. How do you feel about them? Are there any things that you've done that help the stress to ease at all?

    We're here to support you through this and listen to you. What you have to say matters, and your feelings are valid too!

    @Azziman Hi thank you so much, that’s really kind. I don’t feel confident enough to tell anyone irl- I’m just scared of what people will say having gone through it before I think telling people I’ve relapsed is just too much- I don’t know. I’m going to fail all my exams because I havnt revised- so that’s s given. My only coping mechanism is bingeing and purging which isn’t good- I just can’t stop. Thank you again though.
