is there even hope??

[rowyn]

I've had my ed almost half my life and for my entire teen years, its been my whole life since the age of 11...I've tried, i've done it all, hospitalization, 12 hour days in treatment, then 3 hours/day every day of the week...i've been in therapy since i was 12...i feel like there is no hope for me. i have a chronic eating disorder, i wish i was normal, especially now that i'm mia...but i may die from this, i don't believe i can ever be truly free, no matter how normal my behaviors are, that voice will always be in the back of my head telling me how evil and fat i am and how i'll never be good enough...i see hope fore those who've had their ed maybe 2-3 years or less, but after that...do any of us have hope?

I'd say there's always hope IF the person is in the right frame of mind i.e. wants to be 'saved'. Take care of yourself, for the future. If you make your ED more public maybe that will prompt you to do the 'healthy' thing when eating and exercising, because people will always be watching you?

yes I agree, its like if a alocholic wants to be helped they must first realise that they need help. Its the same with ED whats the point in helping someone who doesnt really want to be helped. It think there is hope for everyone as long as they keep on trying. Take care hun xoxoxox

i agree with visionthing. there is always hope i no i need to get better ive had eating disorders since i was 13 (binge eating disorder,anorexia,bulimia,) i know how you feel its sad to think that my mood is determined by the numbers on the scale.wich is why im going to seek help i belive anyone can get better.you just have to really really want to get better for the recovery to work.
