Imma start by saying I'm not diagnosed with anything.
Im not the best at wording myself so apologies in advanced for any weird *** sentences and what not. I don't think I have an eating disorder but Im definitely not mentally healthy. I have heavy body image issues and will admit that, yes, I am fat. But I pretty much go through thesw cycles of eating everything without care and then suddenly being hit with the strong urge to count calories and restrict my eating. This isn't daily but it is a steady cycle. I dont exercise since I hate thinking about my body and feel too embarrassed to even try. I never weigh myself cause that just leads to me self harming. I have no will power to keep an actual diet sincw depression makes it hard to actually get out of bed and do any actual cooking. I feel bad going ans wasting a therapists time but I wanna know if anyone relates or has tips on what to do about this. |

Thanks for sharing your concern. Truthfully I don't know anything about this. But I noticed you had yet to receive a reply to this post. So I thought I would write one.
You wrote you feel bad going & wasting therapists' time. But what occurs to me is that, rather than simply seeing a therapist (waste of time or no), perhaps what would be in order here would be for you to look into an eating disorders program? The one thing I think I know about this is nothing will change unless you take steps to make it happen. I realize how tough that can be when you're also battling depression though. Here's a link to DocJohn's article, from PC's archives, on the subject of eating disorders plus links to 4 articles on finding motivation when you're depressed & 2 on dealing with the overwhelming fatigue of depression just in case you haven't seen these already: Eating Disorders: Symptoms, Types & Treatments | Psych Central How to Get Things Done When You're Depressed Tips for Finding Motivation When You're Depressed 12-Steps to Creating Motivation When Depressed 3 Strategies for Getting Things Done When You're Depressed https://psychcentral.com/blog/5-tips...of-depression/ https://psychcentral.com/blog/5-more...dium=popular17 Best wishes... __________________ "I may be older but I am not wise / I'm still a child's grown-up disguise / and I never can tell you what you want to know / You will find out as you go."
