Re: About the eating disorder       02/13/06 02:46 PM Edit Reply Quote bounce17 Reged: 11/27/04 Posts: 5 Loc: Los Angeles, CA Wow, so nice to know that I'm not the only one in this predicament...thanks so much you two for posting. What we are dealing with is very hard and I totally resonate with your personal frustrations of "well I've been trying to heal from this ED so I should be eating this piece of pizza, scoop of ice cream, etc. but I can't because then I'll have an IBS attack." So does the mind process this thought as an old ED pattern or a protective health mechanism? A lot of the time it feels like both. But I have to remember that this is ok because ED's are very complex and just as they've taken years to develop so too do they take time to fully heal. And it's really difficult when friends and family don't understand and think we are just perpetuating our ED. It's like, "so you think I'm making this up to keep an eating disorder? Why don't you step into my shoes for just a day and then we can talk." You know what's best for your body. Don't listen to them. Seriously. And hell yeah, it sucks being 24 and not drinking or having to order a chicken breast and steamed veggies when I go out with friends but it's way better than being alone and stuck to the toilet. With our situations, I don't think there is one solution but what I've discovered in trying to heal from both ED and IBS is that a lot of my physical symptoms (bulimia, D, nausea, urgency,) stem from deeper emotional issues of grief/trauma, depression, anxiety. It's so important to remind myself that NONE of this is my fault. It is my responsibility though, and sometimes this totally sucks. All these things take time to work through but I KNOW that addressing these issues is a huge factor in healing my ED/IBS and re-teaching/training my body to cope with life in a healthier way. Besides the IBS diet and psychotherapy, I have just started hypnotherapy which is like, a dream when it comes to letting go and relaxing -- something that I don't do enough. No real significant changes yet, but again, I believe these things take time. We are going to get through this girls! I have total faith. Nothing is forever if you don't want it to be. Well there's my ramble...feel free to email me anytime. Ciao! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
