I've was treated without medication for annorexia 15 years ago and a few years into recovery developed bulemia and had never been so hopeless ever before. I became so depressed, because just changing my eating habits did not make me any more happy. I was miserable going into treatment and was willing to trust that by eating healthy I would feel better. That never happened and that is why I became so hopeless. Point being I'm a big believer that ED's develop from an untreated mood disorder. In the past 10 years when my depression was under control so was my food. 9 mos. ago I had an annorexic relapse and decided to take Lexapro 3 mos. ago. I've been making better food choices and have begun normal menses 2 mos ago. I'm putting effort into making more healthy food choices and have lots of support. You may email me for more information.
