Roses Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I'm so sorry you are struggling right now Dolphin. Have you felt this way before? Do you struggle with eating generally? It sounds like you have the dysmorphia thing going on. It's where you see yourself different to how you really are. There is a site for eating disorders and the such www.b-eat.co.uk they have lots of advice and support. I have struggled with anorexia and bulimia since being about 13 so if I can be of any help then just let me know. They best advice I ever got was to have a structure to your day - a meal structure. Make breakfast and put it on a plate and sit down and eat it - even if it is one tomato or a stick of celery sit and eat it. Do the same for lunch and dinner. Slowly over time you will get used to eating regularly (even if it is just half an apple to start with) and will be able to build it up. Half an apple will sound silly to someone without an eating disorder but to people who are struggling it is just about the right place to start. What do you think about what I have said? Do you think it might help? xxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink stars Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hi Dolphin I'm so sorry to hear of how you are feeling and struggling right now hun. I agree with what Roses has said, and also agree with starting out with small portions at a time to get you back into eating again. Just take small steps. All the best to you xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
successful_workthru Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I dont get anorexia, and its taken me 40odd years to become a decent weight (was always grossly underweight before) so I am not interested in losing it again. I do, however, due to depression, find myself not wanting to eat. I feel like I don't deserve food. When I have fallen for this belief in the past, though, the very lack of food absolutely magnifies the depression and anxiety much much more for me, so it starts a downward spiral. I think Roses' idea above is great. I hate eating and sleeping at the proper times, but I do, because it sends my moods all over the place if I dont, atm. Take today for instance, at dinnertime, all I could manage was half a tin of soup, so I put it in a bowl, sat down and ate it. Very strangely, my diet gets healthier when I am like this. I cant stomach all the junk stodge. I have no interest in sweets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
