I had an epiphany
That's where
anorexia
came in.
Anorexia
is a distraction. It fills your brain up and makes itself the problem. A familiar and predictable problem to me, and one with the illusion of control and agency. When engaged with
anorexia
I wasn't engaged with what was about to happen and that felt safer.

I hate Myself
Even struggled with
anorexia
to find a way to forget the pain. I can't say I've totally recovered but at least my mindset is healthier. I hate how people are always talking about me these days and how they say the most hurtful and untrue things.

(Very) Irregular Periods Post Recovery
Hello, I wanted to ask if anyone in this community experienced persistent menstrual dysfunction following recovery from
anorexia
? For some background, I had
anorexia
from ages 11 - 18. I reached the menarche (had my first period) at 17, following weight restoration.

Infertility with a history of eating disorder
I have a long history of
anorexia
, which has been under control for quite a few years, but recently in the lead up to our first embryo transfer I've found the ED voice getting very loud and requiring a lot of management.

Struggling
It sucks because I'm recovering from
anorexia
, well trying. It's a work in progress. But mom gets SSI and goes to her bills and all. They get food stamps, but enough to last a full month. I'm not sure what to do. I'm hungry and I leave what few things we have for them .

Has anyone recovered from anorexia on their own meaning at home without going inpatient or without seeing a dietitian?
I was hoping somebody here has recovered from
anorexia
and done it on their own without having been in a treatment center or having a nutritionist tell them how to gain weight.

Does HRT estrogen patch and progesterone pill cause weight gain?
But I am terrified because I've never been on hormone replacement therapy and I am a person who has had
anorexia
for over 25 years so weight gain is the thing that I fear more than anything in the world. Can anyone tell me did HRT cause you to gain weight and if so how much?

I suspect I have OCD as I had
anorexia
and bulemia as a child/adolescent and then false memories for twelve years as an adult. The false memories were horrendous...I thought/believed I murdered someone at age four while in a satanic occult group.

Will HRT( estrogen patch) take away hot flashes and feeling hot all the time especially in my face?
I have no estrogen due to the fact that I haven't had a period in over 20 years due to chronic
anorexia
. So I'm having severe hot flashes and I feel hot all the time especially in my face.

Will period come back and body ever make estrogen again?
I've had
anorexia
for over 25 years. I've had maybe five to eight. My entire life and I've not had any in over 20 years. For the majority of my life I've been underweight and not at a healthy enough weight to menstruate. I got blood work done and found out that I am not making any estrogen.

Is feeling hot in face 24/7 a menopause symptom/ low estrogen symptom? Will it go away with HRT(estrogen patch)?
I went to my gynecologist and she said that it is because I have no estrogen due to lack of periods for 20 years of
anorexia
. She is suggesting the HRT estrogen patch because she feels like that will get my estrogen levels up and that the estrogen will take all the hot flashes away.

Starting the Journey to Lose 10-15 Pounds.
I had
anorexia
for a decade and for the past year+ I’ve been recovered and reached a healthy weight as before I was very underweight, and now I find that I could stand to lose a few pounds in a healthy manner and just try to eat healthier in general as well as be more active.

What options do i have?
i went from 8st after our first child to 14st in a month which then lead me to go back to my
anorexia
and bulimia days. Then after being forced by my husband and his family i got steralised when he refused to get the snip. This has been the worst thing that happened to my body of the 3.

what to try next?
I had
anorexia
pretty badly in my 20s and my bone density still isn't the greatest, so I've avoided progesterone-based treatments.

"You don't look like a runner" she said...
It's the sort of comment which in the past would have catapulted me into
anorexia
, which I've battled with twice already. I'm now regaining my health after an undiagnosed and untreated hypothyroid.
