Thanks so much for asking Caroline, you really are a sweetie! I'm doing pretty well this week not b/p, but that seems to make me more depressed. I just have to remember that if I'm ever going to recover I'll have to go through this stage, so why not now. I haven't binged or purged since last Saturday, though. My record is 8 days, so I'm going for at least 9 or 10 which is Monday/Tuesday. If I make it than I might start going on a daily walk or something next week. Even though it makes me feel better I just really feel so badly this week that I can't bring myself to do it. Ironic that when I feel my worst is when I just cannot do the small things that make me feel better, only when I'm feeling better can I do them! Anyway, that's enough about me. How're you doing? I'm sorry that you've gotten back into the caffeine pills and that your dad is leaving. Have you found anything that makes you feel better that's not in the cutting/ED behavior category? Maybe you could call him a few times a week or visit him over spring break. That would be really hard and you have the right to be upset over it, even if it is a good oppertunity for your dad. Tell me how it goes, k?

Hey, girl.

Thanks for being so considerate and thoughtful of everyone. I posted here as Trustn a couple of weeks ago and yeah, I know, I was in a lot of distress... I haven't taken Ipecac since and haven't binged/purged in two weeks, but it's still such a struggle and I'm quite depressed nevertheless, but still, things are much better than they were at that time, I have to admit.

Now, how are YOU doing??

Hi Caroline! Thanks for thinking about me. The good news is that those bad cravings are going away. The bad news is that they are going away because I am receding back into ED behaviour again. I hope you're feeling good, and get off those caffeine pills!!! You deserve better than that.

awww, thanks caroline. it's so sweet of you to wonder how everyone is doing. emotionally, i'm in a wonderful mood right now, because i just found out i get to visit the treatment center i was in last year, (only visit), and i get to see my friends that were there. physically, i'm exhausted. i'm just a heap of...worn out body parts, lol. i'm so tired, but i can't sleep. the only time i can sleep is when i double up on my sleeping medication, then that puts me in such a deep sleep that i'm not coherent or anything when i wake up. i'm a wreck. i feel i could die at any moment. which, i know it's possible. but, i'm still here for the moment, and hopefully my therapy won't get cancelled this week again.
