Experiences with

Anorexia

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 had been recovered from anorexia since 2016 but since i had surgery for an infection in my back and have lost weight, i cant stop focusing on calories, loosing weight, and exercising. im not underweight infact im probably abit over, i feel like ana is creeping back in, but i dont feel i can as for

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.

I had a diagnosis of anorexia in my teens but all recovered now. My dad has Addison’s disease, I don’t know if that’s relevant.

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.

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.

As a result of that, my anorexia nervosa got worse. I didn't eat because I was constantly afraid and anxious that he would be unfaithful. The 4 years I was with him, I lost so much weight that you could see the balls of my collarbones, shoulders and hips.

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.

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 .

I have had anorexia for 27 yrs now. I'm 39 female.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

TW Anorexia . . . . My daughter is developing anorexia. This seems to have come out of the blue. At the GP she revealed having problems with eating for 3 1/2 years. She has had body image issues for 2 years and ruminated about this crying herself to sleep.

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.

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.

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.

She was originally being treated for anorexia and a blood test showed an anomaly with her Liver, she has had lots of blood tests, X2 Liver biopsies, numerous ultra sounds and X2 MRI’s.
