Hey Enlightment,

I have tried Celexa before but it didn't suit me. I was just completely exhausted and apathetic all the time. But thank you for the suggestion.

I am quite obsessive and that is one of the root causes of my ED paired with high levels of anxiety. So I am seeing a doctor to manage the obsessions and essentially I have to just forcibly break the patterns and ride out the resulting anxiety and resist the urge to create new ones. My obsessions are a form of self soothing and relieve anxiety.

I just left an inpatient program where I re learnt new eating behaviors, I have done that program about four times and it is really helpful although a small part of a long term solution. I now see my therapist weekly, attend a specialist day program twice weekly and a personal trainer three times a week and dietician once a week. I'm definatley not doing this on my own although its still really hard.
