I have been seeing a counsellor for four months, originally because I was overwhelmed with things, esp with my ds who is severely disabled with cp. And loads of other issues. And also because our marriage needs tlc and I just can't "give" anything to my dh, because of childhood issues getting in the way of things (difficult to explain).
But I didn't expect that, during the course of counselling, my anorexia would return full force. Not had it for years. I had a "bout" of it some weeks ago, which was awful, but five weeks later, felt better and could function again.
My weight didn't recover much, and now I am back to being frightened of eating, and drinking fluids is a big problem too. Barely managed anything yesterday. The fear is crippling.
Is there anything practical I can do to stop this? I feel poorly and tired and worried.
I think, until I get to the heart of the matter with counselling, this could go on and on. I can't afford for that to happen because my weight is low, and I need energy for my dc.
