When my food intake drops from three meals and snacks to a very very small meal made of snacks size portions, I tell my parents that I'm hungry and casually mention that I haven't...

Finding a therapist

I need to find a new therapist. I also need to figure out how to tell my parents that I think I need to go see a different one. We've quit going to my current one, and we were planning on not going to anyone else. She's just too far and too expensive, and I never felt comfortable talking to her, and...

CBT- someone want to buddy up with me?

Anyone want to try out the online CBT course with me? I want to have someone to discuss things with, and such, someone to keep me from forgetting about it. We can keep eachother accountable?

Anyone want to try it out with me? The link is on the sticky up there, if you want to find it.

It's not really magical at all, it just involves a few things as distractions and such. I'll post it when it's finished. But it's things like when I am afraid I repeat the ...

I'm very scared she is going to come back. My friend said why is it bothering you so much if it only happens like 3 times a month? I d...
