I didn't mean for my post to sound like a direct response to your comment, I actually worry a lot anyway about coming across as indifferent and dismissive of my treatment team. I'm super self-conscious about my less-than-stellar track record of following recommendations from R and I never want to sound like I'm not trying. So I was definitely projecting some of that.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm so glad to have you as a reader and I really appreciate your advice and support. No offense taken whatsoever! Congrats on all your success in treatment - it's always great to hear from people who have come out on the other side!Kayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07637653451031426942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753685376168608657.post-31280350461116802102011-12-09T03:31:52.390-05:002011-12-09T03:31:52.390-05:00Hey! I didn't mean to accuse you of not taking...Hey! I didn't mean to accuse you of not taking anything lightly or anything at all. I also didn't mean to accuse you of not trying. And I certainly wasn't trying to say "just eat more, duh!" Full disclosure: I've been where you are, needing to gain weight, struggling with anorexia in college, it continued after college, yadi yadi, then i went residential for about 75% of the year, and now i'm grateful for it. (if that disclosure helps... I used to blog but don't anymore. I only read two blogs and just started reading yours - and I've read every post). I guess what I meant to say was this: the symptoms you were describing make me shudder b/c they bring me back to a time in my own eating disorder. At that time, I didn't think I was "thaaat bad," but I look back at that now and realize how in it i was. So part of my comment was just my own stuff. And what I said about "you need to eat more and if you can't, you need to consider IP" or whatever it was that I said.... I wasn't blaming you for not having the tools to rectify your situation. I was simply trying to point out that you need a lot of support and I hope you will take the support in whatever setting it may come in. I DO commend you for increasing the mp and decreasing the exercise; I DO commend you for talking to your mom. Those haven't been lost. I just had an ED for many years myself and have seen plenty of people around me have their ED linger for forever...seemingly, at least... and I just don't want that to be you. So I was making a case for "as much support as necessary to recover as quickly as possible" basically.... idk. i'm sorry for any offense I caused.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02697957718424745938noreply@blogger.com
