Help please

[mtrecovery2015]

i have been diagnosed with Anorexia and am getting a referral but I am so scared. Today has been an awful day that I have spent in bed in darkness crying and not eating. I don't know what to do with myself. I just want to be normal again

Right, firstly be brave. it takes a long time to beat but you can do it in the end. let the hospital help you.

That's great news that you want to be normal...e.g. get better. Hospital will be very difficult, but working with the professionals there will help you to be more stable. Manage your expectations. Recovery isn't a straight road, it is really really hard and takes full time effort. But it can be done. I'm 27, have had an eating disorder since the age of 11, was hospitalised at 17, relapsed in my early 20s. Now I am doing the best I have ever done, and I'm so proud of myself. You can do it.
