It's great that you are planning to talking to your N about it, good luck with that. I know it's difficult but in a way this is good practise. The only person who can make your recovery work is you, in an ideal world there would be as much support as you need for as long as you need it, but in reality often people end up having to do it entirely by themselves. I agree with Sarah that you have the potential to do this, but I know how hard it is to consider doing anything differently when you're ill. It feels like you don't have a choice, like you HAVE to restrict or whatever. But you don't, it is possible to disobey the eating disordered thoughts and the healthier you get, the more you realise that it was only the eating disorder that wanted you to stay ill. Life outside of anorexia is worth all the stress and anxiety involved in recovering from it :)<br /><br />I hope your appointment goes well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-443171838576590197.post-56841590718732313152010-02-17T00:51:36.365-08:002010-02-17T00:51:36.365-08:00Well done for being honest, and I know how hard it...Well done for being honest, and I know how hard it is to ask someone to take away your control...ED just doesn't want to let you. The whole situation is probably really difficult to deal with as a parent, and maybe he thinks if he comes down hard you will turn against him? Idk, but my mum was afraid to be assertive with me for this reason, but hopefully your appointment might help...<br /><br />I think I had to give away some of my control in order to recover, and hopefully when your mum returns she can resume this role? Talk to people, try and tell them what you need, where your ED might try and trip you up.<br /><br />There's lots of positives in here and you definitely have the strength and character to make recovery work. The right help and support will make this a certainty :-)<br /><br />Sarah xmariposaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034092323139133367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-443171838576590197.post-11000322447060891162010-02-16T18:51:37.602-08:002010-02-16T18:51:37.602-08:00Good luck with N and I hope it goes okay. It's...Good luck with N and I hope it goes okay. It's good you can be honest with how you are feeling, even if it's just to yourself. If you really need to tell someone something and you are scared, have you thought about writing them a letter? I do that sometimes when I can 'say' what I really want to say and it really helps.<br />*hugs*<br />SarahSairshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110575221596955775noreply@blogger.com
