Hi, I have been suffering with anorexia nervosa for over 2 years. I'm 22 years old and have just been for a 4 part assessment with an consultant at the hospital, I'm now being referred to the EDU at the hospital and I'm due to see a therapist once a week and to be weighed and see a dietitian. I'm so frightened I feel as If my entire world Is falling apart right In front of my eyes. It's something that I have no control over anymore. I can't think straight. everything seems so confusing. I have nothing In my life that Is worthwhile. I really don't know what to do. I have no one else to talk to.

Hiya My name is Jenny!
Ed's are very confusing and complex things and you cant think straight cos u have got some much going on right now!
I think that the more you get better the clearer you will be able to think this is what I found worked for me sorry if this is no help! When the body is starving it finds it hard to think straight anyway!
Having an eating disorder does'nt mean that your life has failed for me it meant that now I am even stronger cos I have had to fight through a recovery!
I am always here to talk to but please remember you can recover !!
Love jennyxxx

Hey darling, I'm 23. The important thing is that u can start to fix things now, there is nothing worse than having no energy and being consumed all the time by negative thoughts. My best advice to you is to be honest with your counsellors about how you feel about things and why you feel that way. Only then can u start to work out what it is that's suppressing the person u actually are. U need to take time for you, to find yourself again cos I know u feel really lost right now and can't actually remeber who you r. Remember what u enjoy doing and start doing it, not wat other ppl want you to do and think u sld be doing, just what u want to do. It is NOT selfish to be like that. Also try to think about the things that u really don't want in ur life and get rid of them if u can. Lastly, remember always if u want sth badly enough it CAN ALWAYS be achieved! It is the hardest things in life that are the most fulfilling and the most worth achieving and I no u can beat this. I am here for you if u want to chat ever. aml!! P.S. Let me no how u r.
