My boyfriend is still not feeling well, his GP is trying to figure out why and make him better, by doing various tests etc. It seems that if you often have tummy troubles and all the tests keep coming back negative/inconclusive they diagnose IBS - hence testing out this low FODMAP diet (which was tailored to help ease symptoms of IBS sufferers). Worth a shot, I guess, I want him to be well after all!
My old eating disorder is jealous, I think I’m more obsessed with this than Dominic is. I’ve already over eaten, smoked a few cigs and drank some beer today. So something is stressing me out for sure. I’m trying not to entertain the worry, paranoia, neurosis, obsession. I need to remain calm, level headed and supportive. All the ED wants is to starve, binge/purge and workout - I haven’t made myself sick in a very long time. I know that if i start again, how hard it would be to stop. So I will not. I think, the calmer I am about this, the calmer he will be about this. Worry causes stress. Stress fuels stress. Stress makes symptoms worse.
So Soph, the best thing you can do for Dom, is not freak out for once in your fucking life, just be there for him. Be strong. Fuck the ED. Don’t listen. Don’t act. The healthier I am, the more help I can be.
