Help and Advice Needed

MamaBoden

I was diagnosed with an eating disorder a couple months ago. I went through school eating nothing during the day and binging at night because I was so hungry. I had so many people ask me if I was gonna eat something and if I ever ate and I just told them I wasn't hungry. My DF doesen't even know. I keep it a secret usually. It's ruined my life. I have had 2 m/c from it and severe depression. I want to stop but I just can't. Anyone else in the same boat?

I'm so sorry to hear that. I have no personal concept of what that's like but I'd recommend talking to your OB. You need help to get passed this.

I suffered with Bulimia throughout some of high school and most of college. It took a lot of work and sometimes it is still difficult but it has been 3 years since I have binged and purged. I have a supportive husband who loves me the way I am and everyday tells me I am beautiful. I think that you need tell DF and start seeing someone. I have been thinking about just checking in with a counselor because my body changing and gaining weight is difficult for me. I have done so much work and do not want to slide. 

You need to see someone and just talk about it. PM me if you want to talk some more.

I'm really sorry that you're going thru this and that it caused 2 m/c for you.  But you have a healthy baby now and I think it's really important you do whatever you can to keep yourself and the LO healthy.  I hope you are able to get thru this, please let us know if you need someone to talk to, you definitely shouldn't be struggling thru this alone.

I hope this doesn't sound harsh, because I am telling you something that works for me. It's not about you right now. Try to remember that everything you do is affecting the baby and you need to try to fight urges for unhealthy behavior for the him or her. Definitely go see a therapist. Also, there are nutritionists that specialize in eating disorders. That might be something to look into. Best of luck.

I suffered from an eating disorder for several years, but have been symptom  freesince the end of 2005.  What helped me was realizing everything it was holding me back from.  I now provide counseling to others.  I second that a good counselor and nutritionist can be invaluable.
