I wonder...

[Music4Hym777]

Hey Ya'll,

I was in counseling for about 10 months for my eating disorder, I was also on meds for it. Now I am doing none of those and for the most part doing fine (its been about 6 weeks without meds and 3 weeks no counseling). I just wonder if you all think I should still be in counseling or not, 10 months does not seem very long for 5 years of bulimia, but I feel stronger, I feel confident, and I dont think about it too much anymore....if I am tempted I try to dismiss the feelings as soon as possible.

I am getting married in 16 months too and this is not something that I want to bring into my marriage, even though my fiance is my #1 non-professional support.

Thanks for any input.

Monica

Good on you!!! I guess my only advice would be if you find yourself struggling again, don't be afraid to go back to counselling. (I know that sometimes pride can make this hard) but if you need any support, make the sure you get all of it you can!!!
My prayers are with you as you continue fighting foward in this journey,
Love & prayers always

I'm not afraid, I just dont know how long I am supposed to be in counseling at the beginning. My fiance asked if I was going to get back into counseling when I went back to school. I had to tell him that I dont know and that I would see. Thats what brought all this on.

Monica,
You know if you are strong enough to deal without help. I think you are doing very well, just know that if you do need the help that it is available. Congrtulations on your engagement! I understand you not wanting to go into your marrige with an ed. I too am getting married soon and need desperatly to recover completely before we do marry. I was married before and still very much in my ed and it was not good at all. This time I want to be well!
Love,
Saleta
