Its so hard because I haven't quite gotten to the place where I can justify the cost of regular therapy for myself. I know I need to, and I know I really should! But for whatever reason I have an easier time spending money elsewhere then on therapy. I need to go on a more regular basis.

That does tend to go along with obsessionality, especially since you're obsessing about your self -- your body, how others see you, etc. Those are common things in EDs.you know, maybe that's what is happening! Im obsessing about weight, which in turn has me obsessing about everything.

Thanks, it's probably time for me to invest in more therapy for sure.
