Ok, I'm a bit messed up at the moment. The 12-step programme i go to says that the first step is to admit you've got a problem, so this is what i'm doing. I'm doing it here because it's the only place i feel safe - where people have been there and know what i'm talking about. I've been bulimic for 13 years, on and off, but most of that time i've managed to keep enough control to function. The past month or so, though, i've completely lost that control. I'm constantly either fasting or binging, and i'm throwing up absolutely everything i consume - even diet coke. I just can't stand having anything in my stomach. I was at the top of my healthy weight band, but i've lost over 2 stone in the past month (a stone = 14 lbs). I'm not saying this to encourage anyone in their ed - i'm just really scared about how my control and ability to function has been affected. I got in my car the other day, and didn't have a clue how to drive it. And my CPN has started making comments about how horrible the local ed ward is... I even did something i haven't done for months - went on the net to find pro-ed sites. In the past my eating has swung from one extreme to te other, but the trends have never lasted long enough to become a problem. i suppose what i'm saying is that i just need a bit of support and someone to say 'actually, i've been there and survived'. I believe i will always have disordered eating habits, but i don't want it to be the most important thing in my life, like it is now. Anyway, sorry for the length - i hope someone reads it.

(btw - any cutters out there - i've found a brilliant way of replacing the pain - buy an epilator! it works for me)
