I’m in my 5th year of college and I’ve struggled with eating since I can remember. Do I need to go to a treatment center? Help?

okay. so I almost died from an eating disorder a few years back. diagnosed at 11 yada yada yada. went through treatment, I had been doing great. lately I have been struggling. I had this pact with a friend last school year and we were gonna lose a crap load of weight. but I was able to resist over the summer. now that I am back in school with her I’ve been going down hill. like I had lost some weight. I can see my ribs more and all. but I haven’t lost a ton.

but last night a big thing happened. I don’t really wanna get in to it. but all I’m gonna say is that we had to put a pet down today. I left school early.
and I had to go to McDonald’s with my mom, then taco bell with my sister, then portillos for dinner.
and yea… I ate. but I hated every minute of it.
and now its like… I get hungry for a few seconds. but I cant eat. its not even b/c I don’t want to. its just food doesn’t seem appealing.
I’m not sure if its just the general depressed dont wanna get out of bed thing. or if its my eating disorder in the back of my mind telling me that its no big deal.

so I am really confused

any advice would be greatly appreciated

I have had bulimia for the past 12 years. I have been to one treatment center about 10 yrs ago. It did not really help and just put us in more debt. My family and husband know that I have had an eating disorder in the past…they think I am over it. They do not know I struggle with it every minute of everyday. I binge and purge over 30 times a day. I know it is horrible and I know all of the medical problems that go with it. I want to get help, but we have no insurance. We cannot afford to send me to another treatment facility. We can ‘t even afford to see a therapist. Unless you have had a severe eating disorder, you do not understand how it can trap you, so please don’t preach to me about the harm I am doing to myself…it is not that simple…I wish it were! I wish I could just stop, but it is like I go crazy if I can’t do my eating disorder behaviors…it is really like I start shaking and going through withdrawl. I am afraid I will have this problem forever. I want help but we cannot afford it. We had to file for bankruptcy last year because of this whole mortgage mess and I had an accident the left me unable to work for 8 mos, so we could not pay the bills. Does anyone have any stories of recovery…other than praying? I don’t believe in God, Jesus or prayer…I have been let down far too many times and have lost faith in religion, so don’t tell me to pray. I need real advice from people who have suffered or are suffering from an eating disorder. Thanks

I know this question may be a little hard to answer, because I don’t have a lot of information about this book, but I would appreciate anyone trying.
I read a book a while ago and I want to find it again. It is a Young Adult book about a girl who has an eating disorder (or maybe she is a cutter or something like that) anyways, she does to a treatment center and she makes friends with a really young girl (like 11 or 12 or something) who is way too young to have a disorder like this and need to be at a rehab center. It is a great book and I really want to read it again. 10 pts for best answer!! Thank you so much!!!
I just looked at the book Perfect on amazon, it wasn’t the book i was thinking of, but I think I will read this. So thanks for trying and thanks for turning me on to a new book.
Everyone else, I am still trying to figure out what the book is!!
Also, I think the entire book (or almost all of it) takes place in the rehab center and the main character is a teenager but the girl she makes friends with in the place is shockingly young, like a 10 year old or something (preteen) Also, I think I remember the title being witty, like a pun or play on words, or something like that.

When I was there I [around Tokyo] I noticed that a lot of girls said that they “were on a diet”, but they didn’t eat at all. I know that it’s not a topic discuseed there and that if you seek treatment for mental illness it’s considered to be a shame on the family.

i’m 5′6″ and weigh 135lbs…i have always been on the smaller side of the scale my usual weight 115-120 (more comfortable with 120) i have tried and tried for the past year to eat better, excerise, be more active-so please don’t tell me the right way. i become mostly vegatarian eat fish once in a while. i keep a food journal but lately its become my life. i got really sick last year with a stomach parasite costed me losing weight dropped to 70lbs and then going up to 185lbs-i dieted and took the one round of treatment and dropped to 160lbs and i have lost some weight and kept if off over the past 3 years. i still have symptoms of this and cannot afford treatment so i have slowly been cutting my calories and now i only take in 800 calories and in a few weeks i’m cutting to 700. the other day my mom asked me about how my diet was going (she still thinks im eating normally) and i said how does i look, i splurge this weekend and gained 5lbs back! she asked me why i was getting so angry.
i told her come on mom who can lose 7lbs in 5 days…and she didn’t say anything then said well it looks like you gained some back and i told her well the only way i can get my weight lower than 135lbs is straving myself and i have been doing it for the past month! she acted like nothing was wrong continued what she was doing and then discussing the show we were watching! she acted the same way when the doctors diagnosed me with major depression she told me its not that big of a deal. i don’t know what to do? i have no one around me and no insurance or money to see a doctor…i feel soo alone!
actually my question is very serious! i am 23 yrs old and got very sick when i was 20….i was in the hospital for a week. what isn’t serious? why would i write all this if i wasn’t serious….
i thought i would let everyone know that i talked to my mom and she told me that she used to have a eating disorder and was sorry for the way she had acted. she called me to talk the other day : )
