gentleheart, my daughter feels like that after eating her one meal a day. The doctor had suggested eating smaller meals or snacks several times a day instead.

Are you receiving support/help - suggest you need guidance about diet and when and what to eat - also - EDs can play real mind games - whenever I eat a bit more - or something that I have previously restricted - I can feel bloated/guilty - but my counsellor helped me realise that actually the feeling was in my mind and was not reality - but it kept me fixed in the ED - so please do seek some help and support to help you break this cycle.

hi

thanks for your message. I'm receiving counselling but find it really difficult because I'm processing trauma and its making the ed. X
