[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 366969, member: 1233"] First of all I am sending you many many hugs. Gentle ones, because hard ones hurt when you are that thin. I had an eating disorder as a child that was due to a disconnect where my brain did not receive hunger signals. I literally was NEVER hungry. Having a child reset whatever was wrong and it has not been a problem since. But I know how people look at you, and how much everything hurts and how you feel so terrible when you are that thin. I graduated high school at five feet tall and seventy nine pounds. I look at pictures and think about all the things I did to hide how thin I was and I just cringe now. It was so hard on me, and on all who loved me. You have admitted the problem to us. That is a huge step. You now have to call the doctors. They won't be mad. They will be worried and maybe frustrated with themselves that they have not been able to help you enough. You MUST tell them about the anxiety and insist on medications to help with it. Gcvmom is right - until the medications are right you will not be able to get better. You may want to ask about zyprexa. My exsil has anorexia and bulimia. After my niece was born she stopped eating almost totally. The ob/gyn knew about the problems before my niece was born and he saw the signs two weeks after the birth. Exsil also had postpartum depression bordering on psychosis made worse because she wasn't eating. The zyprexa was the ONLY thing that helped. She has stayed mostly on it for the last four years because it helps with the anxiety and other problems that feed her eating disorders. If you are not working with a therapist you are comfortable with, please find one. It is an important ingredient for your recovery. You are in my prayers. PLEASE be open with your docs and try to follow your plan. Your family loves you and does not want to lose you. [/QUOTE]
