[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1991472, member: 345386"] As someone who was horribly anorexic for some time in my late 20s, I know how hard eating disorder loops are to break and how difficult it is to maintain that better way of being. I can't imagine it with gastroparesis in the mix too. Are you receiving any support for your eating disorders (EDs) at the moment, or are you trying to work it all out for yourself? As [USER=460354]@Debandez[/USER] suggests, it's important to understand, to a degree, what the underlying reason for your condition is. I say to some degree because for myself, parts of it I will never fully understand. I have had to let those oarts go, and cioncentrate on living my life as well as I can, on a day to day basis these days. Once I understood my major trigger, I found it easier to talk myself out of most of the harmful stuff, although that wasn't by any means an overnight fix. I reckon it took me a couple of years to reach the pit of my anorexia and about 5 years before I was confident I was functioning well and fairly confidently again. Please don't think I put my timescales in there to depress you, but more to add support that it can be a long trip, but one really, really well worth making. Right now, it doesn't sound like your friend is going to be someone to help you deflect yourself from the tough times, so maybe put a pause on seeing her for now? One of our members, [USER=17713]@donnellysdogs[/USER] hasn't (I don't think anyway) ever had an ED, but I do know she is a longstanding gastroparesis patient, and she has found some interesting ways to help herself manage it better, on a day to day basis. Really, really good luck with it all. Please stick around. You'll find support here for your various complications, even if it is a bit of a jigsaw puzzle.. [/QUOTE]
