I've been struggling with my ED for seven years, since I was fifteen. I have a ten month old daughter, and I am out of school for winterbreak until the end of the month...right now we're living with my father, which is completely not helping, as he was one of the reasons I started with the ED, and we're all staying a hotel while his house gets work done to it. The hotel is in the middle of no where, and I don't have a car. :shaun (sorry...I just like the sheep icon) So...basically we just sit around all day in the hotel room. It doesn't bother me too much, because these days I'm usually too tired to go out anyway. I just feel so guilty about not taking my daughter out. I try to justify it by telling myself it's too cold to take her out anyway (usually in the mid twenties here) and there's no where we could go anyway...but all I do when she's napping is b/p, and I don't know how to slow down. I feel like I'm going downhill faster than I ever have, and I'm not sure where to turn. I don't want to give my father any reason to try to get custody of my daughter (I know he's just waiting for me to fail at something) so I don't want to tell him whats wrong. I'm trying to figure out if my insurance will pay for a T, but I haven't found one that takes it yet. Ahh!!! I'm driving myself insane. I just feel achy all over, and I look like a ghost...I have bruises all over my arms and legs, and I don't want to do it anymore.

I'm trying SO HARD to be positive about all of this...but I am just running out of energy FAST. Any suggestions? :sad

Hey Pita, welcome to the :bowl

What type of things do you like to do? I think it's important that you use the time when your daughter is sleeping to do something for you...

:idea read
:idea paint your nails
:ideatake a hot bath
:idea have a cup of tea and watch a favorite show

Distract yoursel with something that makes you feel good.
Use you "me" time to take care of yourself.

hi hunny, im sorry your struggling right now :cry i think the suggestions MEK made were good ones.... is there anyone you know that you could talk to? or could come and visit you and hang out? maybe you could even just get out of the room and read a book in the lobby, or push your daughter around in a stroller...

please hang in there hunny... :gimmehug
