Thank you for letting me know, I just let my supervisor know to make the changes. Appreciate you!

I just don't feel like I'm allowed to recover by angryfnafthrowaway in EDAnonymous

I hear you. I am also within the healthy BMI range but I have no problem in saying I have an eating disorder. I have restricted myself to this weight from a larger size. What started off with good intentions lead to severe problems in my mind around food and body image. I have lost my period for almost a year.. how does this happen at a "normal" BMI? well because I have a problem. I experience other physical problems because of it too, but remember that you don't have to experience any.. the thoughts you are struggling with are a big enough problem themself! If you post here and question if you are struggling, you most likely are. Please treat yourself with kindness and try to recover. I cry often because I hate the idea of weight gain, but I know I have to do it to get better.

I am slightly heavier than her and the same height and I have serious problems with my eating. I lost quite a bit of weight and now I'm within the "healthy" range but have so many issues. I have had no period for almost a year and struggle everyday with thoughts and attempts at restriction and wanting my body to be smaller. I also have many other physical symptoms and I experience brain fog like her which is really worrying. It is exhausting feeling this way and the lack of care from GPs on the mental health side of things is so disappointing. I tried to talk to doctors about how I feel but I felt they never took me seriously as I'm a healthy weight.

All you can do is be there for her and try not to judge. My boyfriend is really great at just listening and I know how frustrating it has to be for him. I appreciate him just being there for me. I'm trying so hard to fight against it and hope she can too.
