On the surface of it, I am fine. Great job I love (where I have to be bullish), loving DP and DD, good quality of life.
have had low lying depression for ages - have tried various ADs, prozac, citalopram, venlafaxine, none of which made a difference (venlafaxine positively made me ill).
Very strange food issues as well, basically it has been food or famine for years. I either eat the whole house, or don't eat for days.
I have been a bit more worried lately as I have been hiding it - I either buy a load of stuff from the garage, and scoff it in the car on the way home, or don't eat for days (get around DP and DD by saying I eat big lunches, and just have a cup a soup for dinner). The only time I feel real achievement is when I haven't eaten for days, and feel like I have resisted temptation. If I do eat anything, I consume half a pack of senokot before bed.
I feel like I have two sides - one side which functions perfectly normally, and the other one where I do things (starve, laxitives) which are patently mad.
It has all got worse in the last 10 months because of unresolvable family problems.
I obviously do need to go to the doctor but feel rather embarrassed (how english) to sit there and confess to doing something so bloody stupid.

Somehow think I am slipping into an eating disorder, and the underlying depression I have had for years is bubbling over.
