Hey guys!
I have bulimia nervosa and have been refused treatment by my local ED treatment clinic. :brokenheart: :sad:
So I have turned to trusty MFP to see if anyone here is in recovery/ recovered/ still suffering, and wants to keep together in a support group to motivate others in the group towards recovery :blushing:
ANY EATING PROBLEMS ARE VALID: Bulimia, Anorexia, BED, EDNOS, anyone who feels like they have a bad relationship with food deserves support :flowerforyou:
So a bit about me!:
I'm Chloe, 18 and I live in the UK!
Moving to London on the 19th September to start an Anthropology degree at Goldsmiths University! :glasses:
I've had an ED for around 4/5 years now but only accepted I had a problem a year ago!
I want to lose 50lbs (3 1/2 stone!) and I'm 5 feet 3 inches tall :bigsmile:
Feel free to add me as a friend, or just post in this forum with any questions etc! :drinker:

I don't have an ED, but is there a difference between EDNOS and OSFED ?0

Why did they refuse to treat you?0

I'm anorexic and bulimic. I'm 47 years old and have had an eating disorder since age 16. I'm trying to kick bulimia to the curb. Feel free to add me if you don't mind an old lady.0

From what I understand, OSFED simply replaced EDNOS in the DSM-5. No difference between them other than the new acronym, as far as I can tell.0 -
Veil5577: I was refused treatment because I am not bad enough in their eyes!!! Which is stupid, if they treated people at the beginning then they wouldn't have to spend so much treating in inpatient. :mad:
Meluhneekay: I wasn't aware of the change in the DSM!!! Ever since I stopped studying Psych I haven't been keeping track - my bad! But they're the same thing, yeah
Earthboundmis: I don't discriminate! Anyone battling this horrible illness is brave and amazing0 -

Just how often do you need to be throwing up for them to consider it 'bad?" That's ridiculous. I would report them.0 -

I've been at it for so long (31 years) don't think I can give up anorexia and bulimia at the same time. First things first.0 -
cattokitten I think it's awful they wouldn't treat you. Shame on them! I hope you can find another program that will accept you.0

Hello!
I'm Ciara. I'm 18 and about to start college, Yay :happy:
I have recently admitted to myself that I have at least a mild form of anorexia. I would love some friends for support (and provide some as well ) as I am trying to avoid concerning my family as much as possible.0 -
Hello there,
I have been in recovery from anorexia for 2 years in September. I have restored my weight, now I'm working on my mind. I found that support groups are very helpful and think that the creator of this group is very smart because people need support when professionals let them down. I have been attending CAMHS which is NHS provided since I was 14 but just transferred to adult. Anyway, hello! I'm Emma and I am just beginning an apprenticeship search, hoping to be a legal secretary or something in business. I am aiming to lose weight though it says on here, I want to maintain0 -

Understandable. But, the root of both issues are usually one and the same. You CAN do it. It is possible. I've been there.0 -

I had BED (binge eating disorder) and bulimia.
I had counselling and I kicked it to the curb!
Parts of the BED come up still in my life but I've learned how to stay on track!0 -
Hi! My name is Libby, I'm 19 and I've been struggling with anorexia for the last 3 1/2 years. I'm getting ready for my second year at college and have been struggling with some relapses recently that have been a challenge. Feel free to add me, I'd love to be a part of a support system for people who struggle with this horrible condition.
Love to all0 -
I'm recovering from anorexia and bulimia! You need a large support group...0

I have had every ED out there. Most common for me are BED and Ana. I am trying to recover here. Bed got me here. So Idk. Never been in recovery. Only admitted to psychiatric wards. But 18 plus they cannot force feed. So you can add me, Just don't hun if you will use thinspo ( I see ur pro pic) and starve. I want to get better too not triggered. If u still starve and use thinspo Then I think you better seek more help. HUGZ0

Feel free to add me if you want support. I'm recovering from EDNOS.0

hi there. i guess i suffer from all forms of ed out there. currently bulimia is ruling my life. i need to get better because living like i am right now is ungrateful....(for lack of a better word to describe how i feel) so i would appreciate all the help from anywhere i can find some0

Before giving the first big step you gotta be brave and accept what really the problem is, what really bothers you the most? mia or ana? or binge?... its all up to us, regardless in the road to recovery you will have relapses but remember no matter what we decide ourselves when to stop beign affraid of food0
