I think I give up. I'm not getting any better and I don't really want to try and gain weight so why go on with the pretense that I am? I'm just wasting the dr's time. in three months I've gained one and a quarter pounds not really huge progress from the Dr's point of view and I hate it. I just want everyone to leave me alone and let me do what I want. I'm drinking to much and I'm getting worried about that. The last think I need is another problem

Hello,
don't give up. Ok, your doc may say 1.25 ppounds is not enough, but it was probably as much as you could handle. Slow may be what you need. The important thing is, you didn't lose anymore. You are TRYING. You have sought HELP. That is important. Anorexia is not just about weight. It is the inner changes that are important. It may take a while. It may need to go slow. But give up? No way. Not worth it. Anorexia is not worth it that you dedicate your whole life to it. Oh no! Spend your energies on FIGHTING it, that is much better. You can make it. Little by little.
