sick of being sick
Posted On 10/08/2008 07:57:58 by die4adifference

So I cant sleep, my stomach aches and my heart continues to race. I dont know how to have a healthy relationship with food. I know this sounds bad but I love the feeling and the so called "control" of not eating. It gives me some kind of hope away from the binge and purge cycle. I fear hunger because im scared ill binge, when you starve for soo long it just happens. Its a never ending cycle and I hate it. I just recently started going to this ED therapist, which was the biggest mistake of my life. I mean seriously I could write my own book on EDs so why is this woman telling me about them. I thought it would help because maybe she could help me tie my emotions with food and help me find healthier ways to deal and all that but im guessing thats not what she does. Anyways, I binged and purged yesterday... I went to dance after that, something I would have never done before. I had fun even though I felt somewhat sick. When I got home I binged again but didnt purge. Now this morning I feel disgusting, just the fact that knowing all that could have been different. I feel ugly when I cant control what im doing with food. Having an ED is just soo ugly and makes me feel so unpretty. Ok so im not even sure if this makes sense but I just felt like getting that off my chest... thanks

Angela has a good point - have you tried OA? What you have cannot be couched in terms of ugly, disgusting or unpretty. It is a disease, just like cancer or diabetes. As with any disease, there are ways to arrest it's progress. Many here use a 12 step approach. And it works...
Take care,
Dennis

I can identify with feeling powerless over something.  I don't think I have an ED, but I feel I have a food addiction...maybe it's the same thing, I don't know.  But I know it drives me crazy that I can stay sober but can't discipline myself around food.. I'm just out of control when I see something that looks good but is bad for me..I never struggled with my weight before because the drugs & alcohol kept me thin, and I was more concerned with getting high then eating, but now that I'm sober food seems to have become my addiction or complulsion.  Anyway thanks for your honesty and sharing, and there is hope for you and help for you out there, and you are NOT alone.
