i've been struggling lately with not wanting to recover. i'm going to see my therapist, nutritionist, and to this support group because i basically have to (parents.) But I would honestly stop if I could. I just feel like there's no getting out of this, and I don't know if I even want to.
I just feel like everybody is telling me that I'm in denial when I feel like I've been really honest. At my support group last week I told them how I was feeling (not wanting to get better) and the week before that i told them that all i wanted to be doing at that moment was going to such and such a restaraunt and b/ping, not sitting in a support group. It's taking so much work to actually admit that, and try to figure out why I am feeling the need to do those things. I felt like I was making progress by admitting my feelings and talking about them with more people in my life (friends, family). And soon after saying this a few people got really upset that there were 2 people in the group saying they didn't want to get better (myself included in the 2). Like we were wrong for admitting that we felt like *****, as opposed to saying that we were doing fine and denying that we were struggling.
I kind of feel like they were pissed off at me for admitting that i was struggling. Like they were telling me that I wasn't trying hard enough. It's so frustrating to hear that, because I completely disagree. This whole thing makes me want to drop out of therapy even more.
I don't even want to start on the nutritionist and not having a scale...:-(
Is it wrong to feel this way? Because I thought denying it would be worse.
