Hi All
Been struggling for quite some time, have been referred countless number of times for psycologist accessment however wasnt able to make myself go (didnt want to be "branded" was scared of it being in my health records) for the past couple of years i have been focused on restrictive eating and exercise, but since my sister died in March i have been on a spiral downhill fast. I switched from that to binge and purging on food and alcohol.
I also did some quite bizarre behaviour and suicide thoughts. Now all the family know and friends which makes me feel terrified, its been my secret for so long.... :-(
I went to see a pyscoholgist and have been diagnosed with eating disorder but with distinct tendacies towards bulimia at present, also have my first assessment appointment at a pychatrist (sorry for spellings lol) today at 11.00am...not sure what the outcome on this will be.
All in all struggling but trying to plod on,. at the moment i am neither up nor down i am just plodding along,....
Nice to chat to others in the same situation or can relate to me xx

im sorry for your loss, you are strong for getting yourself the help you need. it show alot of self-awareness, which is a huge step on the healing journey.
I can definitely relate to not wanting to be labeled. getting your foot in the door, though, is the first step. that you have already done. (I hope your evaluation went well today! ) I remember when i took that first step and had my first evaluation, I was terrified of my family finding out about my dark secrets. It was very difficult to have them know, but since they have gotten past the initial shock value, they have been some of my biggest supporters. I hope you can find strength in your family and with your friends. outside support can make all the difference.
keep plodding along- you can do it! if going through hell, dont stop! you dont want to get stuck there
