Re: not helping!!
poor thing, I have patches where I'm better and worse and sometimes I refuse to let it hold me down then weeks when i cant get out of bed... dont make the mistake of thinking the depression is anything other than in relation to this fear... i spent all of this week literally in bed all day every day because i was so afraid i was sick... constantly n*!! until today when i got myself out of bed to do things and to pull myself together and now I'm back in bed scared again..
It feels like a road block in your brain, dont you think? something you cant get around...
I've started Hypnotherapy and that seems to be making some progress in conjunction with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy... its hard though because no matter what I'm still terrified of it happening....
I too lost a lot of weight and at the moment fit childrens size clothing... my eating patterns are on and off but any time I step out of my safety foods I start to freak out completly!
You are not alone and any time you want to talk you can talk to me... my parents are also tired of hearing it, so are my friends and my boyfriend.... he barely understands because he's perfectly fine with v* i have no understanding of how!! I'm thinking about what food I have in my stomach or what might come up if it were to happen...
your welcome to add me to facebook or email me any time you need support because its a disabling fear but we will pull through it and slowly heal with support and determination!!!
Remind yourself of every time you thought it was going to happen and it amounted to nothing... or all the times you've been full and have ended up fine!
Also remind yourself to compare to people without the fear, they eat huge meals with no fear and are rarely unwell...
Do you have certain foods you stick to? or just small amounts?
