When is Anorexia over? - April 14th 2010, 11:36 AM
When can I stop saying I have anorexia? Is it when the doctors "diagnose me" as recovered? Is it when I get to a certain weight? When my periods come back? Or is it when I am back to a 'normal' state mentally. I would say that now I was in recovery, because I am trying to gain weight, I am enjoying food again and doing really well.
Do the doctors ever tell people they are no longer anorexic? I understand that it may be different for everyone, but I have already been told a weight which would put me in a safe zone and not require weekly blood tests, would that be the right weight where I would not be classed as anorexic?

Sorry for all the questions - but I thought about this and really want to know!
