[QUOTE="Laura1976, post: 427420, member: 81269"] Once again I am absolutely overwhelmed with the sheer number of us that have in the past or are suffering with this. I find it very difficult to get my head around the fact that this is not more widely recognised in the medical profession. I was devastated yesterday when I received a letter from the dvla advising me that my licence has been revoked due to my eyesight. I feel like ive lost my independence and a limb. ..(I'm trying not to be sarcastically ironuc and say that's not out of the question eventually either .lol. I have to make a joke about my seemingly useless self somewhere along the line dont I??? ; p ) Although im sure my weight is a massive contributing factor to my Diabulimia...sometimes I'm not too sure as I was bigger before but remember myself as being alot more confident about myself. Dont get me wrong...ive never been skinny...im now about 10 st and size 10 to 12. At my thinnest I was maybe 9 st but thats not thin for my almost 5'5" height. I feel like ive completely lost my way and have been like this for so long that I cant change back. I do have an appointment with a psychologist in a couple of weeks so im hoping for good things. I really would love for there to be a switch I could flick which would make me and the rest of you who are struggling just be ok and healthy and happy. Dont you find it strange (and to be honest extremely disturbing in a way) that despite all the complications we are exoeriencing or facing, the constant battling with ourselves, the guilt as well as the all-consuming nature of it all.....and we continue to do it to ourselves. I find that I doend a massive amount of time thinking about my situation...I also really worry that I continue to do it and wonder what else my body will go through before I finally say enoughs enough and get myself sorted. I sometimes think ill be forever like this(and getting progressively worse) until it kills me. And the devastating thing about this is that I feel like ive quietly accepted this awful fate as if this is how it will be so ive got no other choice but to accept it. Bloody hell....I'm proper not right in the head. What makes this a million times worse is that ive got a wonderful husband and family (no children through choice) although my hubby has 2 grown up daughters. I have been loved and cared about my whole life and yet I still do this......????????????
