Dealing with Eating Disorders
tomrokey | Jul 16 2006
help! My 12 y0 daughter has practically stopped eating, yet she insists that she does not have a problem. We have taken her to our family physician, a psychologist and a dietitian. Her mother and I are strongly considering admitting her into a specialized hospital program. Things are very stressful around mealtimes at home and we do not know how to handle this. any advice? 7 Comments

Again, just what I know from my wife's experience and point of view. I think I had heard the same somewhere else though too. At any rate, an illness like this surely has a significant psychological component. The control bit is more evident on the anorexics that are also cutters. Self-mutilation and eating disorders often go hand-in-hand. It sounds like the original poster is doing everything right. Some people react to chaos and certain feelings differently than others. If it weren't for GTD I'd probably be swinging from tree-tops outside an asylum right now. » POSTED IN:
