Lately I’ve been obsessed with having an ED roommate, just so I don’t feel so completely crazy and alone. But realistically, I know it could be triggering and competitive.

Good luck dealing with this new situation.

Hey first time commenter but long time reader (PS I love your blog-you’re such an inspiration). I’m sorry you’re in such an awful position I can’t offer advice as to how to deal with the new roomie, I don’t even know what I would do. What I can tell you, is that you don’t actually want to look like her–that’s the ED talking. The romantic side of an ED is only a fantasy. It doesn’t exist in any way, shape, or form. Remember how miserable you were when you were at your sickest. YOU DON’T WANT TO GO BACK THERE. You’ve come so far girl! I don’t want to watch you give it all up. You are so strong, I know you can fight the urge to lose weight. Obviously it’s easier said than done, but you have to take care of yourself. J not meeting calories doesn’t mean that you should do the same.

Glad to hear your thoughts have changed a bit. Change and risk are practically synonymous of one another. It is ALL scary but worth it, yes.

I know how the confrontation with your roommate must have been awkward, but it is lovely that she was able to and tell you how she feels. It seems like she wants to be supportive and help, so I would tell her what it is you need. Keep reaching out to the people who do care. They are the ones who will continue to stick around for you.

Also, glad that you were honest with your therapist. That’s a good start.

I think a lot of us can relate to what you are feeling… and it sucks. Little can be said to make you feel better. There will always be ups and downs in recovery, some bumps bigger than others. Hang in there… it will get better

So sorry you’re having a hard time right now. I know how these triggers are not helpful in the least, especially clothes fittings. But you’ve don a lot of hard work in recovery, this is just lapse which always means it is time to regroup, reevaluate, and revise. You can get this past this. Keep reaching out.

Don’t give up on yourself. I seriously respect you for having come so far in recovery–and I know you’re strong enough to push through this, too.
