[quote=Anonymous]Former anorexic here (as former as one can be).  You have an eating disorder and your therapist is doing what she should be doing. 500-600 calories a day will screw up your metabolism - permanently. You run the risk of your heart stopping. Lack of food seriously impairs your judgment. Your fears are exaggerated and you just want everyone to shut up and leave you alone.

The way I got through it was to not think about the big picture - but just what I was going to do that day.  If you have been counting, stop counting. If you haven't been, set a number of 1500 calories. Eat that much tomorrow. If you get hungry, eat more. If your DH is giving you grief (can't quite tell if 19:38 is OP), tell him to cut it out permanently or throw him out. He's got his own problems, and of you fall prey to them it could kill you.

Also, talk to your doc about the anti-depressant. May take several tries to find the right one. Also, if you are taking hormonal birth control, stop. That stuff can make you batsh*t crazy. [/quote]
