> Penny,
> Thanks for responding! No, I haven't "fessed up" to my therapist- I haven't seen her since it happened. I see her on Friday, and I guess I should tell her... It took me weeks to tell her about my previous self-destructive behavior, which was not eating (I lost 20 lbs in less than two weeks.) I have a really hard time talking about things, which is why I think that Psycho-Babble will be really good for me. I can open up so much more in this context...

I recommend telling your therapist. It was very helpful for me to actually put into words to someone else the self-destructive things I had done. I mean, moreso than putting them here, b/c it really helped me see just how irrational I was at the time I did what I did. Does that make sense?
However, as I said b/f, this board is amazingly supportive and has been a cathartic outlet for me. I believe it will be for you as well.
Take care.
Penny
