Sometimes it takes a health crisis to stop something like bingeing or purging, and believe me you'll have one if you haven't already...unless you address the above factors. Don't wait for answers or apologies from someone other than yourself; it could be tempting you to subconsciously use your problem as a cry for help -- at your own expense. How much sense does that make?

I didn't even know I loved myself until my health crisis. Maybe you could dig down and tap the hidden core of self-love you still have. Let it provide the emotional padding you need to embrace life without your compulsion. Eventually you will be a huge inspiration to all who have perpetuated (and probably shared) your emotional issues, if you stop waiting or blaming or "acting out" and decide to blow everyone’s mind by letting go of all blame and focus on others and becoming your own best advocate.

Please let me know if any of this helps.

Sincerely,

Kat James

I sit here with tears in my eyes because I am so happy to have found someone to talk to about my disease. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!
