I'm really glad you started counseling- there is really no magic medication that cures si or EDs, but working hard at therapy should make a real difference. Nikki gave good advice about taking it slow, since it's a new relationship- that's a lot to lay on a person with all the other stuff going on while you're getting to know him. what really helped in my case was bringing my spouse to therapy with me, since i felt so much shame- my therapist was able to explain the whys and whats about these disorders. notice I said spouse- you may improve enough in therapy and get stronger in your relationship- that once there's a solid relationship he should be able to handle everything about you (and the reverse is true of course). I wish you well- judy
