what do i do?

[krista]

Hi,
I think I have an eating disorder...well ok I know I do and I have for over 10 years...but it is finally getting to me. I don't know what to do. I have a doctors appointment next week andI could ask him, but that would be soooooo weird. waht would he suggest? is there any online counceling thatanyone knows of? I kind of want to keep this to myself and not let my husband or family know.

any ideas?

If you have a problem that you feel needs to be kept secret, you should probably ask yourself why you feel that way.
Are you afraid or ashamed of the stigma that goes along with an eating disorder?
Are you afraid of what your family might say?
Secrecy is often how problems maintain their power over us. If we shine the light of truth on them, they lose a great deal of power.

Go to www.remudaranch.com
It was the best thing I ever did for myself. Even if you can't commit to inpatient treatment, they have a database of providers from all over the country who might be able to help.

Good luck to you.
Marcie

if you can't tell your doc then he can't help. you don't need to feel ashamed. pray about that. don't listen to any thoughts that keep you from breaking this cylce! you can do it! love dee

I hope and pray your appointment goes well. Don't let the cycle of fear and embarrassment keep you in the place you are in.

In love of Him who sent me.
