Those two sentences connected so close to my heart today. <BR/><BR/>I know that feeling. I deal with "connective" disorders like this and they feed off one another. It's frustrating at times, but other times I'm able to just embrace it and know that this is who I am.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-27842043725072205832008-11-22T09:50:00.000-05:002008-11-22T09:50:00.000-05:00Wow I guess I have an excellent PCP.

Although he's not an expert on anoerexia, my D informed me that my meds would work better if I started eating again. <BR/><BR/>Truth be told, things are getting a *bit* better as I continue to nourish my body. But if I wasn't taking the meds, I would most certainly be deep in depression and anxious ashell, spiraling me into the restricting cycle again.<BR/><BR/>Bravo for people who recognize how complex our mental health can be (sounds obvious, but you never know...)Wrapped up in Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18210700542140339831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-36158865711423171062008-11-22T04:07:00.000-05:002008-11-22T04:07:00.000-05:00Very good points.

Ironically the drive towards "evidence based treatments" has made it more difficult around here for people to be seen as individuals and get treatment for more than one illness at a time. "Treatment for eating disorder is CBT" was the judgement of my least favourite psychiatrist in the world (so far, I expect there'll be more along the line) and it's TRUE. Specialised CBT IS the treatment of choice for eating disorders, but it isn't going to be much good if anxiety disorder makes it impossible to get out of the door to attend the therapy, or ADHD makes the patient lose her food diary in the first day.Fiona Marcellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07985022521354870620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-54193006659531882632008-11-21T23:22:00.000-05:002008-11-21T23:22:00.000-05:00The truth.

If I don't purge then I cut...to get rid of the anxiety...and to prove that I am real...that I am alive. Sometimes I do it just to feel. There's that line in the song..."Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive."
