DDNOS and EDNOS

[Alice Hunger]

Nice combo. Dissociative disorder not otherwise specified and eating disorder not otherwise specified. It feels like I'm not really specified at all. I still have my period (it's really screwed up and irregular, but I still had it even last month), so I don't fit the diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa. My "alters" are very connected, so I don't fit into DID (dissociative identity disorder). I'm failed. I'm just halfway on everything. I'm not sick enough for my problems to be taken seriously, so I should just as well stuck it up and get on with my life and leave the stupid disorders behind. Yeah, right. Just my luck.

I think a lot of us feel that way, especially EDNOS as I know I feel like I can never be taken seriously if I don't have the 'real' problem. It's pretty hard to cope.....how do you manage?

[Alice Hunger]

No idea really. I guess I developed an eating disorder as a way to cope with the dissociative disorder. Not a very good way to cope though.

How are you doing?
