Hi Ahley!
Oh my gosh, are you feeling better now you're out of hospital? I
hope it wasn't anything too serious and that you're feeling much
better. The outpatient therapy sounds as though it could be really
helpful, how often are you going to see the psychiatrist? How was
your first appointment?
That's interesting about the seratonin levels{I'm not sure exactly
what they are!?}, because I've been feeling bad lately and I started
cutting, which I've never done before. At least now I have something
to blame it on! I'm feeling slightly anxious about the prospect of
Christmas which is fast approaching, for me, it means lots of food
is given and is just generally about. It's certainly going to be
difficult.
I hope the antidepressants have a positive effect. Have a wonderful
Christmas and an amazing New Year, lots of love, Jo xxx

<< Please post back saying how you get on>>

hey jo, sorry i haven't posted in such a long time. i've been in the
hospital. anyway, i haven't been on these antidepressants long
enough for them to actually start working, so i can't say if they
really help my bulimia or not. however, after i got out of the
hospital (i wasn't hospitalized for bulimia by the way), the doctors
there recommended i follow up with some outpatient therapy, so
i had my first appointment with a psychiatrist who specializes in
eating disorders. basically what i learned was that bulimia can
cause your seratonin levels to crash drastically, causing a
person to get depressed. i'm sorry, this didn't really help much,
but that's all i've really learned so far!
