Hey, I have not personally suffered from anorexia, but am a psychology major as well as have experience counselling a couple of teens with ED's. I am by no means an expert and am by no means claiming to be one but I thought it might help you out to hear that the people I know with anorexia had similar aversion phobias to avoid eating. I'm sure you know that anorexia is far more then a diet gone out of control it a a psychological problem with thought patterns and the best way I have heard it described is that there is a 'skinny b!tch' inside your head telling you not to eat, the food is bad, it will make you sick, it will make your family sick and so on. This internal diolouge telling you that you will throw up if you eat, that the food was bad etc. is very normal with anorexia and you are not alone. Are you in any type of therapy? I would suggest talking to our doctor about some kind of behavioural based therapy to help you kill that "skinny b!tch' that is trying to keep you from getting healthy. Good luck and I hope it helped to hear what you are experiencing is normal, and you are not alone. |

That sucks! My lunch went went missing at my old job all the time it drove me nuts. But what put me over the edge was I ran a Day Camp and we provided snack every day and lunch on fridays for the kids. I planned, prepared, and budgeted for lunch one friday only to find that half my nicely cut carrots, most of my homemade cookies for desert and 2 whole packs of my whole wheat wraps that were bought for the kid's lunch had vanished when I went to get them on friday. They were marked and clearly for my camp and I was left with not enough food, 46 kids with no lunches and nobody there to supervise so I could go get more cookies carrots and wraps. I freaked and put a lock on the fridge, that was supposed to be only for camp food anyway. I hope loss of fridge privileges was worth a week of stolen lunches. Yeah Im a B!tch! |
