Hi again Maxie,
>But I can't fix the eating disorder on my own.
I know, you need help here. Is there any chance your current doctor can do therapy as well as meds?
>I really hate myself. I think of myself as a fat and ugly monster. I can't even look at myself in the mirror. The reflection is too ugly and scary to look at.
But you know this is only your perception, which is severely distorted both by your depression and by your anorexia? A while ago, you sent me a photo. You looked nice - certainly not ugly at all! And no, I'm not just saying that to make you feel better.
>But he wouldn't want a fat person on a show about eating disorders.
How do you know what he would want?
>I believe everything that you wrote.
In the absence of eating an adequate diet, do you take any supplements to try to ensure sufficient vitamins/minerals? I'm thinking of a good multivitamin, omega-3 fish oil, extra B vitamins including folic acid, calcium and magnesium etc.
>...but I don't know why you care about me
That's your depression talking. It's natural for people to care about others when they are in need. It's part of the human condition.
Love Ed
