Hello. :). I am new here, and I am not exactly sure how this works. From my end, it appears that nobody has even ever posted in this discussion? I am unsure if its an unused group or if its some kind of internet error?

Anyway - Greetings to anyone who does read this. I am desperately trying to find some kind of support group or community. I have been struggling with anorexia off/on for nearly a decade and a half now. In the beginning of October 2019, I had my fourth inpatient treatment followed by Day program for one month. (I finished it all by Christmas). I am really struggling to stay on track. This is pretty much the longest all of my mental health issues (OCD, GAD, MDD, PTSD, Anorexia) have been stable at once. But I have been really struggling the past few weeks- even engaging in ED behaviors. I used to belong to a support chat on facebook but I am not sure its an option anymore (long story). I would really love to have some kind of support like that again. I have a lot of good things going for me right now but my anxiety and ED voices are really bad, and I tend to relapse around the fall/holidays. I really dont want to screw up my life. I am pretty desperate for support and encouragement right now. I would love to offer it as well.

Well anyway, that is a little about me and why I joined. If anyone reads this, I hope you are doing well and have a wonderful day. (:

I don’t know what to do at this point... my counselor and one doctor say I have Anorexia but my new doctor (I just switched a day ago) says I’m not “sick enough” for any real treatment? What do I say!

Hi My name is Shannon. I was just diagnosed with an eating disorder. I have always struggled with my weight. At one point I was put on Wellbutrin which triggered a mild form of anorexia. I stopped eating and lost 50 pounds in a year. I also have an anxiety disorder and bipolar 1 so there are many things out of my control. My motto when I was losing weight is “your weight is one of the only things you can control” I weighed myself daily and became frustrated when I didn’t see the number go down, even when I was at an unhealthy weight. My psychiatrist decided that I was losing too much weight so he took me off the Wellbutrin. Fast forward a year later and I have gained 65 pounds. I am now struggling with compulsive overeating. I obsess over food to the point of insomnia if I do not get what I am craving and compulsively eat to the point where it makes me sick. I was just diagnosed by my psychiatrist the other day. I’m not shocked I have always had body dysmorphia even at my skinniest. I am just looking to connect with people who understand what I am going through.
