Hi I have had 2 psychology assesments since coming out of treatment for anorexia and I have just been told that I need long term Psychology. I have been told they need to keep a track on my BMI because if it falls too low they will have to stop treatment does your BMI affect how the treatment works and at what BMI would they stop it. I am really worried as I have an healthy BMI at the moment but it is starting to drop as I am really struggling. I have already been told that I am high risk of relapse unless I sort out the history of why I have an unhealthy relationship with food but I feel that my treatment could stop when I get to a critical stage in Psychology. I just feel like I am stuck in a vicious circle.

You really are the only person who can save yourself, an dpsychology helps you to see htat. What do you think? HOw are oyu doing now?

Hi thanks for the reply. I feel like every thing is starting to unravel really fast. I was an inpatient in an ED unit for nearly 8 months I am 39 years old and have suffered to some degree most of my life. I feel like im in a no win cituation at the moment because the rational healthy side is telling me that im failing because I cant maintain but then Ana my best friend in the world is telling me im also failing as im eating too much. I feel like I cant carry on for much longer as I am just really exausted by it all. The only reason im trying to fight back is because I have 2 children who are 9 & 6. I just dont know which way to turn as I have no life due to this illness. Sorry for going on but I dont think any one realises how complex it is unless they have been through it also.

Trust me, I understand what you mean. I have to tell you that you're feeling awful as well because you sound like you're suffering from some anxiety as well, which can really undermine your sense of wellbeing. I would recommend--if you can--to try seeing a therapist or counselor for awhile. It might help you with your mood. What do you think?
