I have always been skinny and
I have always been skinny and have always had times when i restricted on purpose. I've lost 5 lbs. now because i've had jaw surgery and my mouth is wired shut. But there are no specialists here where I live. I used to live in Germany and have been to several clinics but they never helped. My eating disorder is so embedded in me. When I get depressed like I am now, I don't see the point of anything. I was at my doctor's office today and he wants me to get back on the Lamictal ( bipolar 2), but I don't want to. I struggle with so much.
Maybe things will brighten up when I go to art therapy tomorrow. thanks!
