I battle foot too
Quote From: rebecs2625I have spent what seems like my whole life battling eating disorders. I am always either anorexic or bulimic. In the beginning stages, I resisted any help and denied having a problem. I am fortunately past the stage of denying a problem, but can't find any help. I read article after article about people who have recovered from the anorexia/bulimia, but they always end the same: they did it through treatment. I am DESPERATE for help, but can't afford $2,000/ day for intense treatment - which is what I need, considering I keep my head in the toilet practically all day.
Bottom line, it seems you have to have money to save yourself. I don't want to die. I want to graduate from law school, have children, live a NORMAL life. Not feel like an alien at the dinner table eating melon while others enjoy bread and pasta!
Why is it so impossible to get treatment? I battle with food as well, however I do not have two children to live for as you do, so it sounds to me you have every reason to KEEP ON KEEPIN ON. I do realize it does take money to go to THOSE PLACES to get treatment, I don't have the disease you are speaking of, I wish I had a "quick fix" for you but I do not I will not lie to you, I will pray for you I do know that praying does work. I do not know where you live are there clinics where you are that would help you. Alot of places will offer help without charging, there are loop holes it is just a matter of finding them, there are alot of state agencies you just have to make alot of calls and it all depends what state you live in, I live in Delaware and Delaware seems to offer alot to the people here at least that has been my experience. I want to encourage you and tell you one step at a time, but that I am sure is not what you want nor need to hear, how long has this been going on with you? Do you have any family close to you that can help, have you ever written a hand written letter to Dr. Phil or called his staff and spoken to them, they are caring people who know what to say and can more than likely stear you in the right direction, they do not have to have you on the show but I bet you they could point you in the right direction. I know this disease you are having a problem with is very serious and nothing to play with and I know that your children need thier mommy...........so please please do not stop trying for them do not stop trying. I will keep listening if it helps. I am not a counselor, I am just a 47 going on 48 year old christian woman who really does care about you and I am going to pray really hard for you and your children, that my dear is a promise.
