Hi, I probably don't belong here. I mean I am 49 years old. I am in the nursing field and should know better. I have done this for 20 years or more. I started seeing my therapist again. I hadn't seen her in 6 years. I had never told her this horrible secret. She advised me that I needed to tell my husband and my physicain. Well my husband was deeply hurt. I feel so bad about that. I promised him that i wouldn't do it anymore, but I have already broken that promise. I really try hard not to, but I feel so guilty that I HAVE to. My doctor, of 30 years, was so kind. He wants me to see a psycologist. He feels that he cant successfully manage my care. I have bipolar disorder as well as major depression with a host of other psch problems. I really do want to quit, but do not know how. I don't want my husband angry with me. I feel so low. I am about under. What can I do?

Of course you belong here, we are all here to give support. Explain to your husband you are just trying as hard as you can, and you are on the same side and wanting to stop.

You are already over half way there for just making the decision to quit, just tackle it one day at a time, keep us all updated.

And I'd just like to add, Eating Disorders dont care if you are 14 or 49, male or female. They effect everyone =]
