Lexie,
First, I'm not an old-timer, I've only been active on these boards for about 4 months so I may have missed your previous posts.
Now, med wise, perhaps you might consider drugs like zyprexa or remeron, both of which cause an increased hunger, so that might improve your weight... Im struggling right now to get to 130 and i am hovering at 122 or so, I'm a 30 year old male and that is terribly thin for my age and height... I want to gain, but I cant, but regardless, I know its difficult for me to understand the thought process behind anorexia, but exact understanding is not really necisarry...I spent a lot of my teenaged years lying on the floor of my bedroom, wishing that there was some way that I could make it through the night, wishing that someone, anyone would think of me more than themselves and call, but those calls never came... I doubted myself constantly and mired in a well of thick black that I never attempted to crawl out of until very recently...
The best thing to do when all seems lost is to take the littlest steps first, the first thing you need to do is to get yourself in order, to know that there are people who do understand, regardless of their distance from you...
You need to remember that there is always a sunrise after darkness, that after every night there is daylight, that every long tunnel of pitch always has light at its end... and everyone, including you, deserves a laugh and a dance through the sun and spring...
Pain hurts, and maybe you will still hurt, but you always must remember that there is a way out, often it is up a rocky cliff that seems impassible, but the clearer your mind gets, the mountains disolve into plains that are more easily crossed...
Understanding, a long distance hug.
please take care.
of, yourself.
