Relapse and helping others

Hi there, I've been dealing with eating disorders for years, and the past year or so, I finally feel like I've got the hang of it. Recently, I've been stressing about my family, my exams, and the mention of a cousin in Australia who's in hospital with anorexia, just brought it back. I've lost weight, and I can't eat, and I have[/i] to exercise (well, you don't need me to list all the symptoms, I'm sure!), but I can't get help, because everyoine around me is so proud tha tI'm doing so well, they'd think so much less of me. And also, anything I say will be overshadowed by my cousin anyway. How can I help her, and still stay sane? Amd get back on track?

Boundaries... Boundaries are probably the most significant part of sanity - eating disordered or not. Boundaries are also a very tricky concept to get a hang of, but they are probably the most awesome of concepts, and the most empowering I do think! There are many things in life that may rub us the wrong way, that's just a part of being alive. But with recovery, boundaries, and diligence - things aren't necessarily "triggering" per se, they just ... are - period. The less we "feed" into such situations (no pun intended) the less power they have over us.

Remember, this is YOUR life, not ED's ...

Take care of you
