ED Ptsd and anorexia

[jesse]

Hey Grey sorry you are struggling. I have lost 25 lbs in a year due to stress, migraines, anxiety. It is terrible when you feel your life spiraling out of control. I sometimes wonder if I am developing an eating disorder it's like a dysfunctional coping mechanism. I hope you are OK at least and understand a little how you feel.

I am OK its just hard when you have slip ups.
I have struggled with many negative coping methods and for me the most chaotic was my eating disorder.
I think that its good that you are recognizing you may have a problem, the sooner you can address it and start helping yourself however that looks, the better.

I'm there right now. Though it hurts me to see another dealing with this, it is comforting to know that i'm not alone (((hugs)))

Its hard stuff to talk about, especially with people who have not experienced what it's like. Thanks for starting this thread, (I think its called) There is comfort in knowing you are not alone.

After the trauma I can't eat in-front of people 95% of the time. Sometimes I can but once something slightly triggers me, theres no way. Not around my immediate family or even sometimes my best friends. They worry about it. It feels safer not eating in-front of people. I know this isn't the same as eating disorders or whatever but it helps to spill my head and try to analyze all of this and why it happens.

I often do the same thing. I'm going to discuss with me T to see if there is anything I can do to help.

Cakey do you feel vulnerable when you eat? Maybe if you do it would make sense why you wouldn't want others to see you eat.

I do, I know you asked cakey but if you were curious for imput from sufferers as a whole, I definitely do.

you are much welcome. I've been dealing with this since my teens and was curious if anyone else was. I felt weird.

Now this is making even more sense.

((((jesse)))) thank you. It's hard for me not to judge others by my abuser's yard stick. One reason that I have much insecurity.
