BBPDbabe, it doesn't surprise me that all you want to do is sleep. Having an eating disorder (which my daughter has) plus anxiety are wearing in themselves. Depression

can easily settle in contributing to you wanting to sleep in order to escape.

Have you seen a doctor for your ED and Anxiety? Therapy might be called for in

helping you find the right path again. I wish you well babe. xx

I feel like wanting to sleep quite often too. I do because I'm tired, yes, but what makes me tired? It's because I'm bored, want to escape from the reality I'm consciously aware about in my waking hours, and/or I'm just exhausted from staying up late the night before from not being able to sleep because I was up thinking too much.

I always want to escape from my reality. That’s why I love to sleep and listen to music but I love to sleep more.

Sorry to hear that you are feeling blue.

It's great you're dealing with things, it can be quite exhausting, but I'm sure you'll see some positive results soon.

Be kind to yourself

I feel like I’m losing the battle with the eating disorder the most! Just when my weight started to fall off 🙄...but in a way I feel like I’m the one to blame because I stopped taking my medication regularly so that messed up the end results 🥺but I’m going to try as much as I can to be kind to myself along the way

Food is the worst ;( It's everywhere and we have to eat. Don't get disheartened by a few slips, it might be 2 steps forward and 1 back, but that is still heading in the right direction ;)

Okay. Thanks for being supportive

Hi there,

Oh, food! It is so difficult to lose those extra pounds! And then it makes you feel even more horrible when you lose a few pounds, only to gain them back again. Do you like to take walks, or work out at the gym? Walking really helps me to feel better. Have you gone to see a physician about how you are feeling? Maybe he/she can connect you with a counselor or group therapy? I know for me; it is easier to have some accountability. I have a friend that I talk with about my goals and then she prays with me and helps me to stay on the right course. Do you have a friend that you can confide in that would be there to help you? I pray that you start to feel better and motivated to keep moving, please know that I am thinking of you.

Not what you're looking for?
