I'm slipping

and struggling. My eating demons are screaming at me and i really want to listen to them, despite what i keep being told. I was genuinely happier smaller, eating less and exercising more. I was happier when all i had to do wrt self harm was hide it and not hide from doing it. I have tried many ADs over the last year or so. They either made me feel much much worse or the side effects were so strong it just wasn't worth carrying on as the physical effects were so bad.
I am not suicidal but the thought of suicide is ever there. I don't think i would do it but i genuinely wish that i could disappear.

I don't need an answer, i just needed to get it out somewhere. I cant do it anywhere in RL and its taken a few days to do it here.

I have no experience of self harm but did not want your post to go unanswered. Im sure someone with more experience will be along later. Have you been offered any other treatment? Counselling or CBT? Good for you for exercising as I think that is a good thing?

Has something happened recently to make you feel worse?

Sorry for not been much help. Sad

What would you like us to do?

I have suicidal thoughts too and it appeals some days.

There are lots of us who will listen and try and help.

I don't want you to do anything. I just needed to offload. For various reasons i can't let it out in RL in any way whatsoever, even posting here i was a bit Confused
I have been offered CBT as well as counselling but i don't want it. I am back at the GP next week - i go every couple of weeks.

Why do you not want counselling?

It's not fair on my children to open that door right now.

That is an interesting thing to say. I had counselling as I didn't think it was fair on my children not too.
I wish you well.
