It really hit me that I won't drive my therapist away when I told her I was binging/purging again. She promised me that we'd work something out if I need to get more help than she can offer. She could have dumped me, but she didn't.
It hit me again, two weeks ago when she readily agreed to back off from my childhood issues. It's like she said, I support your decisions, no matter what.
Support seems one-sided in therapy, it's like she gives and I take. Though I think every time I open up a little bit more, it's my way of supporting her effort.
I can be healthy and unhappy. All through my active binge/purge days I was physically healthy. My blood pressure is normal. I would like to say I haven't felt sick in years, but I have either a cold or mild flu, I don't think it's stress induced, just unfair- I had the flu shot.
Hope my rambling made sense. Time to do a work related errand and then head home to the couch. I'll ask my husband to make me chicken soup. Not the canned stuff, he's a great cook. I will accept someone's care with no guilt. I'll tell my therapist that on Thursday if I still have a voice.
