s because of past trauma or self loathing and depression and you need to deal with that before even thinking of recovery. Recovery is impossible without tackling why you had the ED in the first place, what you were trying to use it to.cope with. Therapy. Very important.

Hi there, Unfortunately, in recovery from anorexia it's not really uncommon to have these feelings, and physical symptoms. I know it makes it much, much harder, but it's just part of it. When one's body has been starved for so long, it has to "readjust" once it starts getting food again. It WILL pass though and when your body gets used to the idea of getting food, and learns to trust you again, this will not continue.

I myself have 15 years recovery from an Eating Disorder; not Anorexia, but I have spoken with many people who have longterm recovery from that as well. Over time, your symptoms will get less and less frequent and when you are in recovery if something upsets you you will think about restricting, but will have other tools to handle your feelings. I think it is very much important for you to receive treatment for your Anorexia because it is very very hard to do it on your own.

Look them up in local YWCA or local Meetup groups or other non profit resources available to you. Many groups exists in many cities and towns...like thousands!! At these groups you will meet others in the exact situation you are in. Get yourself a buddy or two from the local group, and help each other get to the healthy weight. I think you already learned this from the past, that by doing things alone, it don't always lead to success.

I'm having a very tough time at college. I have been trying to recover from Anorexia for over a year. I was doing well at home. I was making my own foods and increasing my calories. I moved away for college and I want to go home. I'm doing much worse than before. I cannot make my own food since I live in a dorm and I always feel tired because I can't sleep right, my bones and joints ache, I get dizzy, urinate frequently, and feel very full after I eat anything.

There are also Facebook recovery and resourceful groups you can join to connect with others and seek insight into recovery. Please contact me for any further help. I would love to help guide you toward the next step of your WELL-DESERVED AND WARRANTED recovery. You SHOULD NOT be alone as you are, ESPECIALLY if you're having medical complications like this. It is imperative that you get both physically and psychologically evaluated and treated asap - because you deserve it.

There are free eating disorder support groups you may want to seek in your area. Overeaters Anonymous (Anorexia and Bulimic meetings) are international; as I believe Eating Anonymous are too. There are self-help books for those with eating disorders through Gurze Books. Addressing the real issues can help free you from your eating disorder. It is extremely common for individuals to switch from one type of eating disorder to another.

Hello ~ Recovery from anorexia is a process that can take many years. It is common to encounter the emotional, psychological, and medical consequences of this disorder even after a long period of stabilization. The toll anorexia takes on one’s body can be immense. It is an integral part of recovery to stay closely connected to your physician and have regular check ups.

I've been trying to find out how long someone can live with anorexia/bulimia, but can't find anything. I guess it really depends on the individual, but there's not even a range given. Any ideas? A little background: I've had anorexia for 14 years and bulimia for 2. I've been very fortunate in not having any serious medical complications, however in the last 3 years my eating disorder has become my entire life.

I'm recently in recovery from 11yrs of anorexia. I have severe osteoporosis as a result. I am 22 years old. I was put on birth control for the estrogen to help replenish my bones, and return my period. (I do not menstruate without the pill) I have doubts of my being able to actually carry a child in the future, but was considering a surrogate mother. Is there anyway to tell if I'm even producing eggs anymore? Is a surrogate, with my egg and husband's sperm possible?

Hi, so yeah I have already once posted a question about whether I have eating disorders, but I am now wondering if that has developed into anorexia. I am 15 years old and I weigh 49kg. I lost 20kg since February and also lost my period. I can't stop counting calories and everyday (whether I ate a lot or not) I feel guilty about eating and can't stop exercising. I also feel like its never enough, that I need to loose more to have the perfect body.

Recently i suffered from anorexia nervosa with then developed into me binge eating which then ended in bulimia nervosa. I am aware of what is happening to me, but as it has happened in a short space of time (2years) i feel a little lost. I live in the UK and it is extremly hard to get help as docotors do not see me as underweight. But everyone knows that there is something wrong.

I was thinking the opposite. I was thinking that it's not a lot of food for someone in recovery as when you are in recovery your body actually typically needs more food in order to restore. I am concerned but proud of you if this is what you can get in within a day's period.

Looking for insight on my girl friends malnutrition. she has a history with anorexia but has managed it herself over the years. We've been together 3 years now I've seen her success with routine eating but hardly cosistent. She cycles to work, works 3-4 jobs and manages to find time to workout or swim 1-2 times a day plus consumin considerable amounts of water and eating light meals here and there. I believe these habits contribute to her insecurity of gaining weight.

It must also mean that the concern is overwhelming and you feel lost. I am 25 years old, and I have Anorexia along with EDNOS (Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified). So please, give yourself permission to thank yourself for being so strong. Anorexia isn't diagnosed because of a very low number on a scale. There are so many other factors that contribute. I felt that no one would take me seriously when I was a particular number on the scale.

Hi all, I read through the forum rules and it seems that aside from the detox, long term recovery based information is a part of this community. I didn't know if there was another forum community that was geared towards 12 step recovery and spiritual growth and if not, I would like to be involved in starting one. At the very least I would like to see a thread (maybe this one) that focuses more on that.
