Edema

i'm with you, girl, that's exactly where i'm stuck. it's so scary to let go of ED, it's the only thing that has been with me for the last 15 years, it's what i know. i'm scard of change, of acceptance, no matter how much i tell myself that it wuld be for the better.

but i think as long as we keep aware of reality in the back of our minds, then ED hasn't won the war yet. a lot of battles, yes certainly, but there is still something of the old us left (i only wish i knew what that is). let's hold on to that and gather our mental and physical strength!!

Bloat update....100% worse today. You know staving kids in 3rd world countries? How they have huge tummy bloat? I look like that.

Glad yours is better K :)

i am so sorry. i just realized i did make a completely false comment. i did not know your situation, and took what i read out of context. i know since i am dealing with an ED right now too comments can really hurt. i just wanted to let you know i really admire your bravery and honestly in dealing with your ED.
i wish you all the best and i know you will beat your ED.
much love

Hanna,

I think it’s natural to compare others’ situations with our own… It is a compassionate way to connect with others. :heart: I know you didn’t intentionally say anything harmful. Please be easy on yourself. :slight_smile: People with eating disorders often suffer with vastly different behaviors, but the things we’re feeling underneath are generally quite similar… I am often surprised by how many others have experienced similar hurts… :heart:

How can we help YOU? :heart:

Love,

Jen

Hannah, I was never upset at all :) I have binge eaten in the past, but it wasn't this particular time. Anoriexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating, EDNOS, all have such similar symptoms, behaviors, and feelings along with the symptoms. It's totally okay!! Don't feel bad. I know you didn't mean any harm, and you didn't do any harm towards me. I 100% understand where you were coming from.

Like Jan said, how can we help you? <3
