Coping Strategies

People calll and write me, sharing their pain, hope and frustration as they look for a way out of an eating disorder and into a life of freedom. In looking for various structures that can help them see where they are in their eating disorder experience I came upon the basic and familiar outline of a classic play. A classic play consists of Act I, Act II, Act III. See if you can find where you are in this design.

Medindia, a networking of health blog, continues the discussion about pro anorexia and pro bulimia blogs and websites. Descriptions of these sites may help raise awareness about the depth of commitment some people have to maintaining their eating disorders and “perfecting” their destruction behaviors even to the point of death.
Power of Fear - However, most mental health clinicians and parents now appreciate that fear tactics, logic and loving concern do not alter a person’s dedication to their eating disorder.

Sudden anorexia recovery efforts can be as shocking to the body as well as the mind. Here is one woman’s recovery story presented via our correspondence. She gave me permission to post our dialogue on my blog in hopes that our exchange would help you. (Her name is changed and her city is omitted.)
Hello Joanna, I found your website online and was hoping that you could help me. I struggled in silence with anorexia for 8 years.

A source of frustration for me is hearing over and over again how people want to stop their eating disorder behavior, as if that were the full answer.
Shelley's response As Shelley so eloquently reveals in her comment responding to Wendeline's story, the truth of recovery begins when the eating disorder behaviors around food begin to subside. That's when the emotional challenges reveal themselves. That's when the body reels and goes into shock at the massive change in how it is nourished and cared for. The idea that eating after starving or holding after purging or eating in a balanced way after regularly bingeing is the whole answer for recovery is so very wrong.
