Possibly not my best plan to walk

Maybe you should get a taxi back?

Melly
you mention needing to regain control and I do understand that.

But there are times when it simply makes sense to accept help from someone and taking a lift when the alternative is a loooong walk to an appointment would have been a better option, I think.

But you went :T and waited :T and I hope it went well.

Especially as he is still being a selfish idiot.

I am being referred to ED clinic
I am anorexic
I am going to have talking therapies
They also look at environment and change triggers there.
He said they usually see people through CAMHS so I should realise I am strong.

Sleep now

Good thing was I had got my BMI up to 16

There will be some form of therapy to deal with the cause.
I have forgotten the 5 things that make up the 5 things approach which is pants.

He did say that I need to be aware that it may transfer, drug abuse, prostitution, gambling and shop lifting are the main things it transfers to?

OH is asleep so hopefully he will wake up and realise that I wasn't excluding him, I had to go myself or I wouldn't go

May transfer, melly. Not will transfer. One step at a time, and you've taken a huge step today. Catch up on some sleep if you can.:)

This is it but the energy he said was other and included art, music and literature.

I have no idea what this means

Just done a quick google and it seems to be about treating the whole person rather than a more narrow symptomatic approach.
This description is a bit New Agey but provides a fairly straightforward overview.


"Often these five areas intertwine and each needs to be addressed, yet what is important is to looks for the core issue where they all intersect. It is from this juncture and vantage point that determines which specific treatment or method from a wide variety of traditional, complementary and alternative methods and techniques will best help that symptom. Each treatment or method is based on your unique needs and goals, thus providing you with a customized treatment program."

So I guess there are ways that, for example, music or literature can trigger responses / make us feel either in a good or less good way which might impact on coping strategies in other areas. For example. I'm guessing here, but that could be helpful in building resilience, for example.

ETA WaS might know if you PM her - she knows a lot about different approaches.

He said we have to retrain me from using malajusted
Coping mechanisms

He said the fact that I have got to my age and managed it means that my prognosis is good.

Obviously he has missed today where I have walked 7 miles on a satsuma.

He's right though melly. This relapse was down to o a perfect storm of !!!! happening for you which would have been enough to knock anyone off kilter. Don't knock yourself, allow yourself a bit of credit where credit is due.
