I also completely understand the insecurity of other people knowing your weaknesses. <br /><br />Gosh, it's such a difficult thing to decide.

Gosh. I don't know what to say to that! ...Gosh. Gosh. I don't know what to say to that! Things moved really really fast for you! <br />Telling the professor about the cutting was the worst mistake of my life. I hate someone knowing that much of me. Cutting was such a close and personal matter and it was the one thing that was mine and mine alone and the one thing that I had to comfort me. <br /><br />Having him know about the eating and the depression and the cutting, well, that's more than anyone else in my life knows and I feel so horribly insecure knowing that he knows just about everything else there is to know about me. It gives him a whole lot of power. And I don't think I'd trust anybody not to abuse that power. <br /><br />However, that being said, I think you are further along this path than I am. I don't think I need any help or any counselling and I'm perfectly comfortable and happy with my current status quo. I would be a very bad person indeed if I didn't encourage you to get help. If you want help, you should definitely talk to this psychology professor. <br /><br />Being able to look at food normally, to enjoy eating, to not worry about every calorie eaten and every calorie burned, to just enjoy life and know that I am loved...wanting that comes second only to wanting to be thin. <br /><br />Well, it's not so much wanting to be thin. It's a need that is woven into my bones. But being "normal" with food must be the happiest state to be in, and if you have a chance to grab that happiness, you should leap for it. Update me about what happens! And good luck, with whatever you decide.Judith Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10618191610809864885noreply@blogger.com
