good luck. ive never seen a therapist in adult life. i was forced to see one in elementary school for a variety of reasons including stuttering. i need one now but its impossible so im resigned to self destructing at some point.

im not even close to anyone anymore. i guess i have friends but i dont have a single friend i am close to or talk to on a regular basis. it sucks.

I have "friends" but I feel like its all a fiction. None of them really know me. And I never talk about anything meaningful with any of them. It's like my second job is talking to those people and playing some lame character for them.

I'm a complete fucking mess. I start therapy on Monday. I've never done this before and it's freaking me the hell out. I don't want to go, but i know that if I don't i probably won't be able to function anymore.

I've been, and the first time I went I felt strange talking to someone I didn't know, but after the second time I felt more relaxed. It's normal to be scared of the unknown. You can approach this on an out patient basis, and if you still feel you need more you can go from there. Try not to pressure yourself and just take it one step at a time. I hope you're feeling better soon. :/

I hope I can get get used to talking to someone. I've never been able to in the past.

I really do NOT want to go to therapy now. I don't think I can talk to anybody about this and I'm pretty sure that if I go into it without being on the depressed end of my mood range I won't be honest with the therapist.

I feel a lot better today. I was restricting too much and I worked out too much. I could just eat more and then I won't get so depressed. I think when I was panicking earlier this week I kind of set myself up so that I wouldn't be able to get out of this.

the depressed version of me is a devious fucker.

Good luck Scotty. I'm sorry you're in a horrible place right now. I was a bit out of my mind last year and lost too much weight too quickly, working out too much and not eating enough...I had insomnia for a while too. I actually wonder if restricting and insomnia are linked. I'm learning now to be healthy in a self-respecting way and not to punish myself for being worthless like I was before. I really would shop around for a good psychologist. Mine is part of a practice that is focused on eating disorders and that has been amazing. I really recommend looking for something like that. You can message me anytime at Facebook if you need to vent and don't feel like doing here.

Thanks for your concern. I got a referral from a therapist friend that I trust.

A lot of anorexics deal with insomnia. I have over and over for years. I rarely ever have a problem sleeping when I'm not restricting.

i've seen some manic anorexic insomniacs before in inpatient. didnt look like a fun way to live

feel better soon
