[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still have an eating disorder.[/quote]

Been there. I finally recovered after many hidden years. Hugs.[/quote]

Congrats  on  your recovery, PP!

Did you get any kind of professional  help before recovering? Does your DH  know about the eating disorder now?[/quote]

Yes, he knew about it and that I was working on recovery. I told him about some relapses but not all. What helped me the most was a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (literally changing the way I thought about food), overeaters anonymous meetings (even though it was a different manifestation it was the same underlying issue and those meetings were lifesaving. Some even focus just on EDs), and then really just time passing and having kids helped me to get past it. I basically lost the black and white thinking and started challenging any thoughts I had that contributed to the cycle. For me, it was an addiction.

My dh was quite a rock during it all. Once I had substantial recovery, and he knew that, I couldn't bring myself to share the relapses. It's been almost 6 years now though. [/quote]
