I was here as a teenager and now I’m back at 20 years old. Here’s a bit of an update. I was recently diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder and I’ve had my eating disorder for years. I was in remission for awhile but sadly I’ve relapsed.
Remember on here when I said something like “so I just randomly starve myself sometimes “ and someone replied to me saying “nooooo that’s how eating disorders are started”. But she was right. I did develop an eating disorder unfortunately. But I’m getting through it. I’m moving on. Just one day at a time.
It's good to hear you're recovering from your eating disorder. Something like that can take an enormous amount of time, and a lot of course to push through.
If you ever need to chat, you're always welcome to message me at any time!
I remember you and I remember how you have struggled with eating. I'm sorry to hear that you have relapsed, but it's good to know that you have been diagnosed (and I assume receiving appropriate support) and that you are trying to get through one day at a time. It's difficult but I believe you can get through this
Hi and welcome back. It is lovely that you came back to Teenhelp and thank you so much for telling us about what is going on. I hope you are doing well.
