>> Why can't I accept help when it's offered to me?
--That's the question of the century, isn't it? I have the obligatory "treatment team" of a nutritionist, medical doc(s), and a therapist. All of whom are extremely personable and caring people, especially my T; she has gone above and beyond what she should with me. But I fight them all the time. I don't want to, I don't want to be "difficult" or resistant, but I'm not sure why I am. I get angry very quickly, I get defensive. And I put my ED first, always. I don't try like I should. My nut. gives me a meal plan and emails me and tries to battle some of my thoughts, but, I get home, toss the paper on my desk and don't even try to look at it again. I give into the fear and the thoughts all of the time, and I'm not sure how to do it any differently.Sorry, I wish I had some concrete advice for you. You sound like you do want help though and that you are realizing that you can't do it alone, and that your choices may not be the best ones as you'd probably choose for your ED first and not yourself. Try to trust your nutritionist and let her help you. Good luck.
