Come to terms with an eating disorder

This is not an ordinary article of third parties, because that's not how you are with an eating disorder.

It 'a very personal battle that nobody can understand if I was there and lived to hide the humiliating way of life, food or binging and purging.

There is no logic, no rational explanation, it is only cause and effect. And in most cases, the patient no longer knows what the cause.

Anorexia and often inexplicable BullimiaResponses to exercise in an attempt to create a form of control over the patient's life, and why the need has become irrelevant, but the answer remains.

Psychiatrists and wardrobe consultants will have their opinions but this is what it is for the commercial side of the problem.

A mature woman who for nearly three decades, would die of hunger if the trigger has been activated in their brains.

The BBC has recently established a program called Hungry Desperate Housewives. "TheHistory of many women and their eating disorders, which emerged when the adults were teenagers.

Two of 100 women, bulimia, but does not give the same support networks because anorexics starve, to death. The sight of a woman who weeps over her shame, as she disinfected the walls and the floor of his bathroom after it was vomiting ... where it should be left as a sign of their suffering for their children ... E 'statevery worrying.

The woman, her battle with anorexia, which, while she was pregnant with her second child says developed very stressful, as well as the accompanying images. The fear that may have influenced their children through their actions, but was completely unable to control was exasperating. But even though he was born and raised in perfect health, can still have the desire to starve themselves to snacks on a single cashew nuts. Through cognitive therapy, this womanseemed to recover but was still very Touch and Go, according to the classification, have kept their religion BMI, which put her back dangerously close to anorexia.

Methods bulimia third theme used to promote her anorexia and all his sons were in college, why do not you see the situation after they were sent if it weighed so little. Your doctor regularly and had threatened to take their licenses if they went below a certain weight. Theirconcerned reaction to the news that he had gained a few pounds, was very familiar ... They looked at each feeding, but himself or, alternatively, "Binge eating" some snacks before disappearing from the bathroom to get rid of them.

In most of these cases, their husbands in the dark about what were for many years. This is part of the problem. Confidentiality. Fraud. And the fact that often must be "overlooked", if the spouses do not know, becausedifficult for a discussion of the topic.

I know from personal experience that if my husband did not suspect that will not be ignored, having to do with it. Not because he did not, but because they simply do not know what to do. Could not connect my emotional dissatisfaction with this physical manifestation. She fed me to cook, but he was eating in a position of empathy with my inability to do much of it. It 'was totally beyond his view, to equate a conscious decision to starve myselfhis lack of affection.

But family and friends. If you do not put off my application for decreasing size, which I do with a story, as I ate, but the production of a lot or that I had stomach problems or something like that. People are afraid to refer the issue for fear that drove even worse.

Presenting the stories in the program, it is clear that anorexia is often about body image per se, but to control, given the difficult times emotional read. Control is the key word. Butis self-control. Almost a cry for help. Note: One reason that the people closest to you and give you some attention, possibly?

Treatment is difficult. Forcing people to eat, is not really the right way to do it, because all these women are completely identified with grease.

For me it was someone in my family for the separation time and to demonstrate that the care and attention to stay on the phone while I was eating soup. The first day, it took almost two hours to finish the cup, but remained on the track untildisappeared. The second day was almost all the time. The third day I had a piece of bread as well. E 'was the first step of a long journey back to the understanding of the reasons why I am this thing.

Recognize and address the causes to speak openly in a blog, it was also extremely important. And then try to solve the more difficult path for the causes that led five years later, I just put into practice. It 'a very disturbing, because I'm wrong and take actionsI think that now turn out to be wrong, and I fixed my complete recovery of an error? Unfortunately, taking the only way to discover the first step and I hope it turns out, not back.

It 'was a program difficult to see, even for a relaxing anorexic like me, because in the cold light of day, seems a silly thing to do. If you do not eat all day and then stuffed with a whole package of Frosties and another biscuitrinsed with plenty of fluids "because it is easier to throw if it is wet. If it is dry, it can get stuck." or not at all easy to eat and try to pretend that all is well, though looking like one of the survivors of concentration camps in World War II.

I just wonder why it is what we do first? Is a gene that makes some twisted vulnerable? Or some moved synapses in the brain?

Whatever.

This is an expensive andterrible.

It does not take a genius to know that there are a lot of people shouting 'that simply needs something to eat "on television.

Eating disorders that starvation or require irrigation only on the comprehension of most normal people.

The only way to help the suffering, is always good body image and positive emotional feelings, while helping to isolate the cause of vocation. Trying to find out what that is in desperate need of controlare willing to starve themselves rather than face.
