Eating disorder impact on family

I’m really struggling with my eating disorder and have been for a while now. I also have bpd and my self esteem is rock bottom. I live with my family and have been arguing with them so badly recently. They are worried about me and cannot cope with it and say I aren’t helping myself and need to meet them half way. I just don’t feel like I deserve to or need to eat. I use it as self harm and I feel so alone. No one seems to get that it not as simple as clicking my fingers and I can just manage 3 square meals a day. The meer thought of it is totally overwhelming and I’m at a point where I just don’t want to be here any more but I have to be for the people that care about me. I’m so sick and tired of living this life. I’m trapped. #EatingDisorders #BPD #EUPD emotionally unstable personality disorder #Selfharm #Restriction #hopeless #Depression #Family #alone

It's been hard to be awake

I've been exhausted all week and have spent most of my time on my couch. I know barely eating and a bad sleeping pattern don't help anything, but the anxiety surrounding food, contamination, and general sickness is all consuming. I've been in and out of ERs, ironically, for sickness as a result of a fear of sickness since August, until earlier this month when this photo was taken in a rare moment of calm. I constantly wonder, if I'm on the brink of death.

But part of me is always slowly dying off, especially now when I'm confronting fears I believed (and still do somewhere) would always be who I am. I just fear that somehow, something will happen and I won't be able to see the result. To actually live.

It's like I'm in a major depressive state, but not sad on the surface at all. Just tired. Always tired.

My soul is sad. I'm afraid.

Recovery?

Now that I've finally given myself permission to eat I find I'm no longer hungry. How ironic. There is nothing that appeals to me. When I was restricting I'd be starving. I couldn't go to a grocery store without wanting to eat from the shelves. Now I don't want anything.

Food vs Me #ED #EatingDisorders

I haven’t really been eating the last few days! Today I had breakfast and that’s all. It’s 9:29pm I ate breakfast at 9am. After thinking long and hard I decided I was going to go make food. As I was getting ready to eat I got an email that threw my emotions out of whack and now I don’t want to eat anymore, how do y’all manage your eating disorders? #Restriction #ED #EatingDisorders #EatingIssues
