Thanks I am trying to just get through the day before seeing my therapist but scared to be completely honest. I left a cryptic text last night but I am not sure she will be concerned by it or not she may be she may think I am being dramatic I mean I doubt that but I don't know anymore I said...

I have been able to count on her for everything and yesterday was a great session. If I go inpatient she said I will probably have to move home with my parents and she feels it wil keep me sick and in my eating disorder and she doesn't work with people who want to stay sick it's better now...
Oh I love my therapist and she very much acknowledged my feelings today and I feel much better after seeing her she knows what she is doing when it comes to me. She very much heard me out and she is changing tactics of how to get me out of what I am in she said I have every right to be sad and...
If I go into treatment now unless it's short term and safety my therapist will stop seeing me. I saw my therapist today and it was actually a great session and I feel differently about things and she acknowledged important things and what I want to keep in life and what I would lose. It was also...

Thank you for the support my therapist I think is ok with me going to sleep when just stuck in negative thoughts because it is not destructive. I journal sometimes I try positive things to write but that can be a challenge. I see my therapist Saturday so see how that goes and my psychiatrist...
Thank you everyone. i checked everything in the section to check off on the sheet i had to fill out i am doing another one for another hospital i stayed at some places i am not sure how to do that yet so i am trying to contact them at least via email about getting records..i have been inpatient...
I totally get wanting something to just end it. i have in the past been told my eating disorder would kill me and at times i wish it would i feel it is not that bad right now so its not going to happen but it would just be easier...i have ideas how i would do it but idk i just don't if i am...

She is wonderful and I love her I think she is frustrated because I was doing well and I am not doing what she is asking or recommending like I am just either going to sleep or just doing nothing and sitting around focusing on negative stuff instead of moving forward. I am not journaling anymore...
Thanks for asking. I had a phone session last night it wasn't so great. She doesn't think I am trying hard to get out of the depression and focusing too much on the negative and when my eating disorder gets worse my flashbacks and nightmares are worse she said and depression. She said I have to...
