I didn't word my question very well ... sorry. I was wondering what came first ... the eating disoder or the depression. But you did answer my question in your response.
I'm sorry you are going through so much right now.
I am concerned about how you are feeling after purging because you are at risk for passing out and aspirating your vomit. It sounds like your electrolytes are out of whack. And if the only way you can stop yourself from purging is by not eating, then you are really caught in the web.Why can't you tell your doctor? Do you want help? Because you don't have things under control and you are working and taking 3 courses AND you are a single mother. Most people would collapse from those stresses alone.
I know it's hard to admit these things to your doctor. Sometimes I have had to write a letter and give it to my doctor because I cannot articulate what I need to say or I lose the nerve. Maybe if you wrote out how you are feeling it would help. Even if you don't give the letter to her, just writing everything out can help.
Please continue to post ... I am worried about you. You can send me a Babble Mail any time.
Maxime
