Ugh so I'm new here but I just feel like venting. As if I don't have enough problems, now my seizure disorder has to complicate things. I already can barely afford my medication as it is, and I'm starting to have partial seizures now. I've been seizure free for years now and all of a sudden my body is betraying me. And unlike a lot of community members, I am older and on my own financially - my parents don't help me at all. I have a good job, but I'm going to lose it if I keep missing days due to my health as well as my un-diagnosed ED. I feel kinda weird coming on here b/c it seems like most of the members are younger and in school and b/c I'm not underweight no one knows that I have eating issues as well. I'm 5'4" and 130 lbs currently - ick!!!. My LW is 104 (God I wish I could get back there) and at my worst I was 156. I don't even know how to define my ED - I don't purge, although I do binge. I used to be so good at eating very little but I've lost the willpower and now I'm just discouraged. I used to be able to get by on some low fat yogurt and a 6-pack peanut butter crackers (for the protein) a day (under 500 cals total), but now it seems impossible. I just feel like a fat, disgusting failure. I read the posts and I'm so jealous of the people that can restrict so well - I've tried, but I just can't - food is just one of my addictions. I'm hoping to find some support here, so if anyone reads this, please add me as a friend so we can chat, k? Current Mood: annoyed
