I am new to this type of thing and very nervous about doing this but reading posts on this site i no i am not alone with my feelings and thoughts. Coping with an eating disorder is horrible and at times unbearable especially when wanting to lead a normal life as possible. Many people around me are supportive but others just plain hinder me . I no what i have to do and how to do it in order to recover but actually doing it is the hardest thing ever and needs some encouragement as i feel very alone on the journey to health.

re: Another Newbie!
Hey Nat. I wanted to say welcome to b-eat and that you really don't have to go this alone. I too find that ppl can be supportive but also a hindrance to recovery, and often it seems like they are more supportive at the start but then just become used to having us around in eating disorder state that it seems and becomes normality, in that they no longer see it as an issue and that can be really hard to get to grips with, especially when your eating disorder wants you to believe that everything is normal and acceptable.
I often see recovery as problematic. If I had a physical illness then there'ld be no problem attacking recovery because I'ld have all my brain capacity available to fight the illness. With an eating disorder my brain capacity and fight capacity has been reduced . it's hard for the recovery to break through and beat the other half. It's so hard!!
However, on this site you are not alone and everyone here understands how debilitating an eating disorder can be. So welcome and it's great that you've joined!!

re: Another Newbie!
Thank you so much for your post it is comforting to know i am not suffering alone! The whole recovery thing just scares me and a GP who is useless and doesn't no where to send me for help and has let me do this alone has not helped at all. If it wasn't for the support of this site i would have had no idea of where to go next. Now i no the next step i am finding it tough taking it. Almost like i don't want to admit i have ED. I have good days and bad like everyone on this site and knowing i have people who understand gives me comfort and reassurance to make that step. Heres hoping my GP does the right thing by me and aids me in getting the help i so desperately need!!!
