Anorexia Please Help!

Annie4235

I am 22 years old and struggling with Anorexia. Is there anyone on here who has made it through recovery and could provide me with some supportive advice? How did you start eating again? Even though I know I need to gain weight my fears of foods are too strong for me to wrap my mind around eating anything even remotely calorie dense. I find myself filling up on coffee and celery sticks just to get me through the day.

I am a grad student and do not have time to enroll in a treatment center. I'm seeing a counselor and a Dr. (finding a nutritionist has been more difficult than it should be) and I just don't seem to be getting any better. I am well informed on what I should be eating. I just need to hear how other people have dealt with recovery emotionally. It feels like its getting worse the harder I try to make it better.
