Hi April,

I am so sorry that you are going through this tough time right now. I am glad to hear that your mom was such a wonderful support for you last night though.

You said that you were hospitalized before and it was helpful. Can you remember any specific things that were most helpful in your recovery? Maybe there is something that you can recall from your past success that will help to get you started back on the road to recovery.

I hope that you are having a better day today and that you are feeling stronger. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hugs,
Peg

Hi April,


Well, you aren't alone when you are here, and I hope that you will come here often to talk and receive support. It really does help a whole lot. It can make a huge difference - something that I know from personal experience.


Peg asked you a very important and interesting question ~ is there anything that you remember from your hospital stay that you found helpful which you could implement now?


Are you seeing a therapist or a specialist now?


Hugs,

I can see why you are afraid to be hospitalized for your ed. Please try to remember that we are in this together. The great thing about experiencing such a destructive cyle together is knowing that we wont judge each other and that we can count on each other to pull us away from the edge. My mother and I have had similar arguments about having me put into a ed treatment center. My younger brother has gotten to the point where he locks me in the house to keep me from going out running ( I'm an excessive runner). Feel free to email me when you need someone to talk too.
