In reply to what do you think are my odds...., posted by Jena Lyn on July 19, 2001, at 16:24:01
> I stopped going to my therapist over a year ago,I moved back home from school and I never took that step to find a new one. I am moving 2000 miles away in a week , I need to start over, get out of this slump, but in these past weeks I have totally regressed back into my old habits. I don't eat, (Im a recovering annorexic), I cry myself to sleep at night and I am soo sad about everything in my life. I don't know if its because Im moving and am stressed out or if its because I haven't been in therapy and Im relapsing or what...should I get back into therapy after I move? WHat are my odds on getting over this alone? ??? I don't know what Im going to do......

Hi Jena,First thing: moving is very very stressful so don't blame yourself if you're "regressing".
Second: i think you should find some help and start some medication: it doesn't mean you're weak; mental distress sometimes is so strong that goes way beyond human strenght; don't blame yourself if you're not "strong enough"; mental illness can be so painful that can be the equivalent of pshysical pain such as cancer and other serious diseases.
Reach out for help: you won't regret that.Anna Laura
