I am praying for you Julie. I totally know what it is like to be in so much pain and not know what to do to relieve it that death seems like the only option to end the pain.
It would devastate your family, though. And you never know when, hopefully, one day, they may actually find something that helps us!
I know you have an eating disorder....as do I....and the bloating and constipation really play mind games with you (and me). I doubt you are gaining real weight. Probably just holding in waste and bloated. It's not real weight. You could probably use to actually gain some weight, but you still seem entrenched in your anorexia. I fight it everyday. I totally understand. We can help one another. (If I don't decide to stop posting again). Maybe the boards are causing you more harm and fear and obsession. I know they do for me. It's hard because we need the support, but it can really instill fear in you. If you go on somethinfishy.org, that is an eating disorder website and many of the girls/women are dealing with GI problems and eating through all the GI pain. It encourages me to know I am not alone and that not eating is not the answer. Eating is necessary, even though it causes us so much pain. I know that's hard to believe....but we have to eat.
How old are you? Are you able to hold a job?
Have you tried an antidepressant or an anxiety med? I take both...not sure they help, but they can't hurt. How about hypnosis or therapy?
Do you live with your parents?
