Hi, it is true that having constanly low blood sugar is very
dangerous and can lead to death - diabetics have this problem - it's
called a 'hypo' - the type 1 diabetic who need to inject insulin to
regulate their blood sugar, if their blood sugar is too low and they
dont eat, they will go into a coma and if they are not treated, they
will most probably die.
An ED is very simlar to a drug addict or a alcoholic in thier
behaviour. Blaming, resentful, controling, manipulative...treatment
only helps if you really want the help. Treatment doesnt 'cure' you,
it helps you to start managing your life and your feelings, so that
you can start leading a clean and healthy life, but you do the hard
work yourself - you get out of treatment what you put in, and you
will always get what you always got if you keep doing what you've
always done.
If you surf the net for addiction and look for 'KING BABY traits'
you might find out quite a bit about yourself. If you can, try to
look for a help
group, like overeaters anonymous - her's a website to help:
http://www.oa.org
You will find a lot of support through this by becoming part of
thier fellowship, and get onto the 12-step program which you will
find a lifesaver. Remember - feelings won't kill you, but your
behaviour as it is will.
All the best,
Kate
