Becky~
First off---I AM SOOO PROUD OF YOU! No matter what harsh words were said between you and your mom, I am sure that it was just the initial shock of everything that made her have that reaction. I know that after I told my boyfriend, he was very upset, he said he was dissapointed but not in ME, but because he knew that I was 'better than that'.....now i realize that he is right, and i haven't b/p in over a month or so! Now that it's out on the table, he is more understanding, and able to help me...just by being supportive and talking me through a bad day. Your mom and you can also develop this relationship...I'm sure that right now..she is just hurt. It hurts others to watch us hurt ourselves....this is something I am definately realizing!
As far as professional help goes...honestly Becky...all I can say is that in my situation...it HAS helped me. I am going through a serious situation with my dad right now, and it's pretty much going to change my life forever...the stress was becoming too much, and i was starting to hate myself and was so self depricating that it was hurting the relationships I am in...Finally I realized that I had to do something about it. I am now on an anti-depressant and I am also seeing a therapist...both are helping and I feel 100x better. I also know that I'm going to have bad days, and that this isn't a "cure"...the situation is still there, and won't be solved over night...in fact...it's probably going to have to get a whole lot worse before it can be completely better. I guess that's how life works sometimes...you have to jump a lot of hurdles...but in the end you become a stronger person. I know you're going to do amazing things with yourself. Dont sell yourself short, and don't give up! No matter what! I am always going to be here for you, and so will everyone on here! Everyone is supporting you, just let us know what you need. Take it day by day, and I think it will be easier for you. Eating healthy is a good thing...and from my own expereince...it hasn't made me gain any weight. I thought I'd be fat if i didn't purge after eating, but now that i've regulating my eating habits, i've actually found myself to look a lot healthier than before....so hopefully this is true for you too! Well --I am proud of you girl! Keep it up, and let me know if you need anything! Take care and have a great weekend!
~always~
