hey :bowl

well- i haven't posted for a while, but i need to do SOMETHING now. things- my life in general- is spiraling out of control. even my t- whom i c twice a week- has said that this thing is too big for him (the ed, si, etc) and that i really really need IP. and finally having hit rock bottom (or so i thought)- i said i would consider. but he made some calls and we found out that it is impossible to afford. my family is not rich, and we have crappy insurance to boot.
that's not the main problem tho. the main problem is the fact that things are so bad that IP is even a consideration, you know? i just feel so lost and alone and hopeless. like im just this wide-eyed little girl inside- gaping at the world, and cowering in fear. yet on the outside, i seem to have fooled people into thinking that i am capable, confident, responsible and competant. but i am NOT. im so impulsive- and so far gone. i've been so depressed lately. so sad. it just hurts so much. and the thoughts scream so loudly in my head. and i cant make them stop.
ed has been bad lately- im seeing a dietician- but all the stuff she wants me to do is so HARD. and she does NOT understand a lot of stuff. i thought seeing her would end the b/p- but not even close.
si has been bad too, at least today. that's not even something that's usually much of a problem at all-- but as i am typing, my arms are stinging and all cut up- worse than ever. the really freaky part is that while i do remember cutting- i dont remember doing it that much.
sigh- i just dont know what to do. i just want to go away forever (no- i am NOT suicidal- i could never do that to my family. ADam's death showed how painful suicide is) what do i do fishies? what do i do?
anyway-- k- i am going to stop rambling now. if anyone has actually made it to the end of this post- i give you a medal :)
something positive- i have a cool new room
catch u all later
:love

I am sorry you feeling so down and that IP looks to be too expensive.

I guess what is needed is a rational look at what you can get. Would intensive outpatient be an option? Getting a new therapist might help - sometimes you can really click with someone and some therapists are especially gifted. Would it be possible to have more than two sessions a week. Is there anything free available like a support group? Could you and your therapist work out some things that you can do on your own?

The fact is: You deserve and ed and si free life. You deserve to feel good about yourself.

Might it be possible to change your dietician. But please, ask yourself honestly what it is that she doesn't understand. Is it a refusal to eat certain things? Eating noramlly IS hard for an eating disordered person.

Everybody needs help to recover. Even so, what really matters is you. You are the one that has to do the work. You have what it takes to beat this. Inside of you there is strength and determination if you look for it. You know you can do anything you really put your mind to.

much :love and :clover

:bear I was so :sad to read your post!! I'm sorry that IP won't work...Insurance sucks!!! E's very right in finding out what you can do with insurance.

:bear You DESERVE recovery and a normal life...do you WANT it??? Y'know, you are the one that is going to make yourself better in the end...no team of doctors will do it for you if you resist.

:bear Take out a piece of paper and you don't need any writing talent, just a pencil...look inside yourself and just start writing till you can't anymore....why did you hit rock bottom...do you want to try and start climbing back up why or why not? What do you want in life? Who do you want to be? What can YOU do to get there. E also had a great quote in saying: its not if you want to recover, but how you are going to recover. Find out what you can do. No team of doctors is better at understanding you that youself.

:bear I'm praying for ya sweetie! Please take care and keep swimmin!! I guarantee there's a light at the end of the tunnel...no matter how dark...please keep goin and you'll find it!! :rainbow

:love

ello creedgal, i was just looking through here today wen i saw ur name, and havnt seen it for ages!

i guess wen ppl write less to the bowl, it either means they r coping ok, or just really busy,

and at the moment things have gon all mad for u, out of controll eh :scared!

well, just to say, that, wen things go rong, it seems that then more goes rong, everything ends up going rong etc etc! :scared but try not to let it all get out of hand in ur head, be honest with ppl, tell them wot u feel,

and also try to think about the good things too, like ur new room :winky

theres not much advice to give really, but just to say that things will turn around again, just keep battling through,

everyone is here for u,
and wen ur in a bad bit in life, u dont know how u will get out again, but u will coz u sound strong! just muddled up rite now :kiss

loads of love creed :love :love
