3 Reasons Why You Should Choose to Recover from Your Eating Disorder
She cannot stop running. Her legs feel heavy, like wooden logs, and her heart is pounding so hard she feels like it will explode. She starts to feel the familiar dizziness, the edges of her vision are becoming hazy, and her knees are painfully throbbing.
Her friends applaud her dedication and say they wish that they could be so disciplined. It is not discipline or motivation that causes her to run for miles down this winding road at sunrise. The voice of anorexia is screaming in her head and demands that she keep running. She is a prisoner to her own mind.
Eating disorders are not a choice. No one would choose to lose all ...

Eating Disorders -- An Open Letter to My Colleagues
It happened to me. One of my favorite patients, whom I had been seeing for a few years, sat nervously in the room. I remember bursting in the room with my usual loud "hello" and noticing she looked pale, drawn and hesitant. After careful prodding, she finally told me her real story -- not the one I had heard the last three years. She was bulimic and haunted by a binge-purge cycle that would take over her nights and ruin her days. Her stomach ached, she hated herself and her husband just wanted her to get help. How did I miss this? Did I not spend enough time with her, did I not make her comfortable enough to confess thi...

Control: When Perfectionism Fails
“Turn on, turn off, turn on, turn off. Good, done, walk away from the faucet now.”
Classic OCD symptoms.
It’s 5 a.m. The house is quiet and it’s still dark outside. I’m half asleep but I have to do it. I have no choice. The voices in my head are real and I believe them. I hear my dog wake up; he’s hungry. I tell myself that he’ll be fine and I will feed him when I am done. Can’t you see I am on a mission here?
I walk up the stairs, still wiping the sleep from my eyes, water bottle in one hand and headphones in the other. I walk into the room and spot the treadmill. The terrible, horrible, dreade...
