Hi... It's been an eternity since I last posted here.
I have a hx of bulimia... it's kind of an on again off again type thing.
My other issues... hx of major PPD after my now 4 year old daughter was born. The PPD turned into major depression/anxiety. To add to that I also have major PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder... think PMS times a million) which has progressively become worse, and then last winter I was dx'd with BPD (borderline personality disorder). Oh, and my daughter was born with a cleft lip and palate... so that makes life even a bit more stressful, being that she is in constant need of surgeries. She just turned 4 on 6/13 and has 6 surgeries under her belt so far. There are also a couple of other issues going on in my life that make things harder as well.
Anyway...
I have been doing okay (just okay) where the ED is concerned. I have had bouts of purging, especially during the really upsetting times, last week was a doozy, I purged 4 times, I think. Something on Friday really sent me over the edge, a comment that DH made (out of pure stupidity), I haven't talked about it with him, don't want to, but he knew that I was totally upset over it. I left the house after telling him that he just lost his wife. :( I drove around in tears, totally aimlessly, wondering what to do. I was so hurt, so bewildered. I had my cell phone, so I called a crisis line, then called the psych ward at the hospital where I was a couple of times, and talked to a nurse. I was just bawling, and felt so low. She urged me to come in and be evaluated, just to talk to someone. So, I did... thankfully they didn't admit me.
I'm making a long story longer here, so sorry about that.
The point of me posting here is this... I haven't had a thing to eat since noon-ish on Friday. It's been, oh, say, 76 hours? I am fighting the urge to eat... avoiding it like the plague. I have made a few great meals for my husband and kids... and I'm telling myself that I am NOT going to eat, that I'm going to be able to do this. I KNOW KNOW KNOW that it's so very WRONG WRONG WRONG, but it's really winning over me now, I have noticed that it's a bit easier now NOT to eat. :( I'm now cooking dinner... it smells so very good, and I am just dying inside, because I know that I'm not going to eat it.
Now, mind you, DH doesn't even know that I went to the ER on Friday. We've been going on as if nothing even happened that evening. I can't bring myself to say anything to him. Life goes on...
PMDD is slowly hitting... so that doesn't make things easier.

Hi... thanks for responding... and for remembering me. It's been so long.
You have PMDD? I am so sorry. I'm glad that you have had an easier time with it lately, though, that's a good thing. Mine has been progressively becoming worse, and sometimes I really just want to give up. :(
I see my therapist weekly, normally on Thursdays. I called him Monday AM and begged to be seen earlier if possible... told him about the ER trip... and he is really concerned. I admitted to him that I haven't eaten. Couldn't get in yesterday, but hoping that possibly today will work out... I'm HOPING that someone cancels. I'm desperate. I'll see my psych on Friday.

I hope you got

No therapist yet. :( No cancellations... I have a feeling that I will just have to wait til Thursday, which really stinks, b/c I really need him NOW. (that's the bpd part of me talking...)
Not doing well with the eating at all... or should I say not eating...
I called my therapist and left a message earlier telling him that I'm ready to break. This is so hard for me. :( I didn't think that this would happen again... not this badly.

Hi Vida,
Hang on, only one

For what it's worth, I thought I had PMDD and then I got an IUD, the 5 yr kind with progesterone, and it made my periods basically non-exsitant - which took away the majority of my PMS symptoms including the emotional side.
