My DH said he knew someone who dressed as Helen Keller and was really offensive about it, so I guess there are people that think it's funny to make fun of others this way...but I don't think it's funny, it's in bad taste.

I'm dealing with the bulimia/pregnancy thing right now.

I started my anorexia/bulimia at 13, at 14 I was hospitalized in the ICU and sent out of state to live in a residential treatment facility for 14 months. I got better...for a while. I lost a whole bunch of weight again at 17, and was hospitalized in the ICU several times within one month before I was admitted into a residential treatment facility again, but only for 10 months.

Although residential treatment provided me with a bunch of very helpful tools, I never really took full advantage of it. I was still very secret about my feelings and thoughts because I was embarrassed of appearing imperfect. I wanted to be the perfect, happy-go-lucky patient who all the therapists would think, "Wow, she's an easy-going patient." I skimmed by the radar by putting up this front, unfortunately.

As we all know, no matter how "cured" you think you are, the thoughts are still a daily struggle. I've gotten to the point where I've been able to maintain my weight in a healthy range (HUUUUGE STEP FOR ME!), but I still purge on occasion.

The pregnancy thing is scaring me. I am very obsessive about my weight, and if I gain more than the bare minimum for pregnancy, I feel like I will crumble and break down. I feel selfish for thinking this way I am trying to use this pregnancy as a motivator to eat healthfully and not purge...

I won't talk to my OH about it. He doesn't like to talk about that stuff...he's not really into that mushy emotional stuff. His answer is, "Uh...just eat." I haven't told anyone else because, again, I'm afraid of people thinking I'm a freak or them becoming freaking food police every time I eat with them. I hate that. And again, I put up that "perfect front." I've tried a therapist in town when I was a teen and my parents forked over the bill, but now that I'm an adult and on my own I cannot afford a therapist

Whew! It helps to get this out!!

I can't sleep ugh i tried at 9 and was up again at 12. Anyone know how I can fall asleep?

I watch 'whispering' videos on Youtube in bed I get this thing called ASMR where your body tingles and you get sooo relaxed when you hear certain sounds/soft voices. I can't go to sleep without watching, well i can but it takes aaaages. These knock me out

Congratulations on your pregnancy and good for you for maintaining a healthy weight You can do it, I used to use pregnancy as an excuse to eat anything I'd wanted to previously but didn't 'let' myself. Then when I felt really full I'd just kid myself it was the baby making me feel bloated. It seemed to work, and don't worry too much about your weight. I put on about 2 stone I think and I lost it all (and more) pretty fast, and at that point I hadn't gone back to my ED yet, I was just eating normal x
