Can't keep living like this.

[sparkleandfade]

I really can't. I am either so in pain or so numb all the time and it is no way to live and it has been going on for so long. I want to work on my depression in therapy but in order to help my depression I would need to work on my ED, which I'm not willing to do. I really don't know what to do. I'm so lost and I feel like I'm just aimlessly drifting through the days like a puppet. Hmm that was an odd description. Excuse me, it's late and I'm really out of it. I can't go on like this.

Personally, I say you should go along with working on with your depression before your ED. It most likely is the depression that triggers your ED the most.

Once you get the depression under control, you will be in a better place to work on the ED.

My therapist wants to make my ED the main focus because she thinks that's where the majority of my depression is stemming from. I didn't start therapy for my ED, I only wanted depression help. But it seems I have to work on my ED to get rid of the depression now....thinking about quitting therapy in this case

Both feed off each other. You need to figure out the function of the ED and how it contributes or feeds off the depression.
