Wanting some ED recovering friends

Hello there! I am (after tomorrow!) two weeks into recovery from an ED of three years. This is my second attempt at recovery. My first attempt failed terribly after I was discharged from the inpatient and pHP program that I was enrolled in. I believe that I will be more successful dealing directly with my treatment team. I have severe body dysmorphia, but am struggling to bulldoze my way through this initial (hardest) phase. I would really like some friends who are either going through this now, or have defeated this awful disease and can be encouraging. PLEASE do not add me if you are pro-ana or pro-mia.

I am currently at a healthy weight, and am merely waiting for the bloating to subside and for my body to decide when it wants to equilibriate itself...

I am a pagan (Norse), love cabaret/steampunk/symph opera and symph/rock music, reading, writing, and baking. I speak French decently, and have a passion for both French and English grammar and poetry.

    I've had EDNOS for 17 years, and I was doing very well for the past year. It's just been this past week, I began struggling again with issues.

    Hello, friends. Recovery is such a hard journey... It's great to make friends who have had similar challenges. I'm a recovering bulimic and binge-eater, and have lived with loved ones who had anorexia. Living abroad and alone really sent me into a downward spiral. After hitting bottom, I never thought I'd get out of it and then I met someone who supported me and gave me the will to get healthy again. The past couple of years, I haven't been counting calories (regularly) as a part of my recovery, but now I feel strong enough to track my nutrition :smile:
