Leah....thank you for checking in. Can you share where you are going for treatment?
I know it must seem overwhelming to prepare for this, but you are doing a courageous thing, and definitely what is needed!
Sending you hugs and love, Jan ♥
it called homewood i have heard good thing about it i taking it one day at a time
Thinking of you ♥
Leah are you in Canada?Homewood I have heard has an excellent program.You must be covered under OHIP?I was referred to Homewood.Was told it was a 1-2 yr wait unless your hospitalised..you can get in faster.I went to Toronto General for outpatient treatment.
I have also experienced sexual abuse over 20yrs in my relationship (my Ed started before I met him)but being in an abusive relationship contributed strongly to my ED.He was my husband he was sexually,emotionally,and verbally abusive he was very controling ..it took me many yrs to see it.He raped me and he is serving time on weekends.
I can see things more clearly now that we are seperated.Its hard to work through all the pain.
I would agree with your Dr the sexual abuse played a big part with your ED.
Leah,
It can be hard to see how things in our past continue to play out in our present. But things, I'm finding, are much more connected than I ever could have imagined... I'm glad you're taking this on and taking care of YOU. You're so worth it, Leah... Stay in touch as you're able. Thinking of you!
Love,
Jen
yes i live in Canada grace i m glad to hear you've heard good thing about homewood i think my medical problems lead to me getting in faster i have only be on the wait list for a little over a month i think its horrible that you have to be medically ill to get into treatment quicker they need to change that maybe if i had gotten on to the wait list when my doctor first discovered my ed then maybe i would not be in the predicament now i m young and i am a walking heart attack my resting heart rate is falling far below normal under 50 beats a min don't really no actually what that means in terms of danger but it does not sound good :{ wil i have to head back to the hospital i will post when i can
