Externalizing it has helped me to feel like i'm not just battling myself and has given my team something more to pay attention to than just what they can see. Because i'm an older sufferer with AN, i've gotten really good at plastering on a happy face, but with these people i can tell them what's happening, even if i can't perhaps express it because i'm in public or just don't want to fall into tears or pacing or finding something to clean or screaming my head off-you get the picture.<br /><br />It is VERY hard to be this vulnerable but as hm says be discerning and keep talking. i know these people love me, even if they don't always 'get it'. The ones i know won't or don't, i just don't spend much time on anymore because my focus has to stay on recovery and because some of these people are family it's easy for me to have buttons pushed even though it's not to do with them at all. My recovery doesn't need that stuff. <br /><br />The people who really want to understand will make an effort that you can see. It may not be precisely what you need all the time but it will be visible.

She ate pretty well, but then got restless. We spent maybe an hour walking around campus. I saw desperation, fear and despair in her eyes. She kept repeating the same things over and over again: "I love food"; "I was chubby", etc. Obviously, it pained me a lot -- but it's better to know.<br /><br />Everyone else thinks that she's recovered, doing well, and weight-restored. It's hard to know what do do because she is of legal age. And, when someone is what is considered a normal weight, smart, and articulate, no one listens to the mom. They don't see the subtle executive functioning and personality changes -- the loss of her sense of humor; the rigid thinking when she used to be flexible and empathetic.<br />The immediate assumption is that everything's fine, and the mom is just being overprotective. And "overprotective" is a damning word in our culture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-67035741477838487492012-11-27T06:46:38.637-05:002012-11-27T06:46:38.637-05:00It is so nice of you to admit that the eating diso...It is so nice of you to admit that the eating disorder still pops into your mind from time to time.

The advantage to characterizing anorexia nervosa as a mental illness or (gasp!) brain disorder, is that people can quit equating it with the common dieting experience. The disadvantage, of course, is the negative implications these terms have for many people. But it beats the trivializing you (and others) describe so well.<br /><br />The first descriptions of anorexia nervosa by Richard Morton in the late 1600's did not even mention fear of fat.Julie O'Toole MD, MPHhttp://www.kartiniclinic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-58096860621635731852012-09-03T04:53:25.795-04:002012-09-03T04:53:25.795-04:00I think your post is fantastic!
Despite having ...I think your post is fantastic! <br /><br />Despite having lived, consciously, with anorexia for more than 7 years, I myself still find it difficult to understand, so what hope do others have of being able to understand and thus help?<br /><br />I have found that even those in the profession of helping eating disorder sufferers do not fully understand this complex illness, and, on more than one occasion, I have felt upset and confused and frustrated about what a professional has said to me. <br /><br />In my life, I would say that there are only two people who actively try to understand and help me through this illness. One is a professional and one is a close friend. However, I do not see these two people very often at all, so the rest of the time is a great struggle. My mother ignores my ED, which is both helpful and unhelpful. My father just thinks I am crazy and doesn't believe I am ill. We are no longer in contact. Having no-one to listen and no-one trying to understand makes those suffering from EDs feel even more isolated, alone, abnormal, lost and crazy.<br /><br />This is why I turned to blogging. I totally agree with 'hm' above where they say not to give up on communicating. Communicating is something which ED sufferers will find very difficult, but, we need to try, otherwise we will stay suffering forever. By blogging, I find that I can write about how I feel, without the fear of being judged, and with the knowledge that I am possibly helping others suffering. If we, as sufferers, are honest (which may be difficult what with it being such a secretive illness), we can increase other people's understanding so that they are more aware and can help others from becoming trapped in this hellish illness.Angharad https://www.blogger.com/profile/03276065419684298280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-76759327463421848672012-09-02T21:50:12.748-04:002012-09-02T21:50:12.748-04:00Very much so.

In fact, after explaining my ED to two of my closest friends, and experiencing their "stereotypical" reaction, I refrained from sharing my struggles with others outside of my treatment team. It actually made things harder, not better, to include more people in my circle of trust. <br /><br />Eventually I found some helpful articles to email to my two friends, and while one of them still doesn't believe me, the other one came around and has been pretty supportive. It is hard enough trying to recover from an ED, much less trying to cope with people who don't believe you.<br /><br />The bit about noticing a colleague start to switch their eating habits really stuck a chord with me. I think that I've become much more sensitive to the languaging and eating habits of those around me because of my ED. I am much more careful with my words because of my ED, too. <br /><br />Great post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021412971457928634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-55308545917523628852012-09-01T00:40:16.598-04:002012-09-01T00:40:16.598-04:00I really appreciated this postI really appreciated this postKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06112446362160589300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-36861212132211634512012-08-31T22:04:05.769-04:002012-08-31T22:04:05.769-04:00I don't know how to get my husband to understa...I don't know how to get my husband to understand my eating disorder.

Everyone *thinks* they understand OCD as well, so it's a good place to start. I'll say something like, "You know how someone who has obsessive compulsive disorder might wash their hands over and over again? Well it's like that for my son, but instead of having an obsession focused on cleanliness, his obsession is with food." Some how this comparison communicates the mental-illness component more accurately than talking about just anorexia because of all the preconceived notions.<br /><br />Wendy<br />(Nourishing My Son)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-22005901660771584852012-08-31T15:33:56.690-04:002012-08-31T15:33:56.690-04:00hm- great points.

...Oh... and as to what helped others understand...<br /><br />I'd say Point #1 is this: PICK YOUR AUDIENCE.<br /><br />Pick well. Pick ONLY those people who you really, REALLY trust. Whittle your potential listener base down to a very small number, to limit misunderstandings, hurts, and frustrations, as you try to recover.<br /><br />Point #2: Be brave. Speak up. Say, "This is how I felt when you said that." and "Here's how I need you to respond instead." Even if it makes you feel selfish to say that. Even if it makes you cry. Even if you are scared. Once you've picked your audience carefully, TRUST that your chosen few will hear you when you tell them that the way they are communicating with you is dragging you down.<br /><br />Point #3: Don't give up on communicating. You've picked your audience. We ed sufferers are naturally predisposed to assume the people around us think the worst of us, for some reason. Fight the urge to shut down when you feel certain that, because of what some of your listeners have said, they all think you're ridiculous, selfish, or bad. Keep talking anyway. You're probably wrong- they probably just miscommunicated and didn't know that it would trigger you. If they love you, they won't be sitting around judging you. You have to keep trying to talk, just like you have to keep trying to eat. It's all part of learning how to give yourself what you need!hmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-15761460957823223072012-08-31T14:48:20.999-04:002012-08-31T14:48:20.999-04:00Yes- agreed on all of this- The people who love yo...Yes- agreed on all of this- The people who love you can go into instant "denial" due to over-identification with your struggles which leads to minimization of your disorder.<br /><br />Ex: "I'm scared of getting fat." "Oh, that's ok, honey; we all are." The ed sufferer somehow feels both justified (I'm not sick, everyone feels like this) AND misunderstood (no, really, I'm TERRIFIED- OF EVERYTHING- you don't understand!) at the same time and shuts down. Communication for someone with an ed is incredibly difficult, and as you said in the post, ends up getting wrapped up in the readily available common societal terms that abound in the dieting world.<br /><br />I know that I struggle intensely with fears of appearing selfish or like I want attention- so if someone over-identifies with me and poo-poos the intensity of my struggle, I will immediately stop talking for fear that I might look like the annoying "one-upper."<br /><br />What I am not certain about is peoples' intentions towards me when they do this- Are they trying to say I don't struggle any more than they do as your average American dieter? Are they annoyed and think I am exaggerating? Or are they trying to reassure me somehow? Maybe trying to make me feel like they see me as "normal" or "acceptable"?<br /><br />I really have no clue. What I do know is that the QUICKEST way to get me to shut the ***** up and dive straight into the comforting arms of my ed is to say something like, "We all struggle with that [insert casual wave of hand]." or "Just stop thinking about it so much! I just try to enjoy each day as it comes [insert condescending smile]." or "Yeah, I feel like I ought to exercise more too. I'm so lazy [insert rueful chuckle and roll of eyes]!"hmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-33094220033674532212012-08-31T13:59:12.451-04:002012-08-31T13:59:12.451-04:00Yes.
