I have been dealing with bulemia for about a year now. I know some of my friends know but only a few have apprached me. I am ashamed and embarrassed about how i got so out of control and now i think i am ready for help. I dont want to live my life afraid of eating. What are the first steps to recovery? I live in CT. should i seek one on one counseling? Or group help? I want to keep it private because I really dont want people watching my every move. Any advice would be great.

Hi dasday, and welcome to the ED board!

Sounds like you've had a tough year with your eating disorder. ((((hugs)))) Good for you for being ready to get help and for recognizing that you don't want to continue to live in fear of food. This board is a great community for sharing thoughts and emotions about what's going on with your ED, and I also recommend that you visit www.somethingfishy.org. It's a website devoted entirely to eating disorders, and on that website, from the main page, on the left hand side you can click on the "Treatment Finder" link. Then select "Find Treatment." You can then find all kinds of treatment resources (private counseling, nutritionists, groups, etc.), by state, for specialists who work with patients with eating disorders.

Welcome again, to the board.

Love,
so_cal_runner

Hi dasday, and welcome to the Ed board!


It is a private disease isn't it.
