How is everyone?
Hey all. It's been a while! I thought I'd give a little update, try to stimulate some discussion...
I'm leaving for residential on the 29th. The place where I'm going normally has family therapy, but I've requested that my fiance be listed as family instead of my actual parents. A large part of me knows that he needs to be in on everything since we're living together and will get married, but I still can't shake that small part of me that believes asking him to come every weekend is demanding, that I'm being a burden, all of those lovely negative thoughts... I'm not asking for reassurance; I know I'm doing the right thing and all... just needed to vent.
Is anyone else in recovery and depending heavily on his/her partner? How does he/she feel about it? How do you cope with the idea of being "high maintenance" or a "burden" for your partner? Give me a little insight. :)
Also, how many of you are actively seeking recovery? I'm curious about how having a partner affects how we view our EDs and how willing we are for treatment versus singles with EDs.
How are all of you doing? Any new dating stories/questions/issues? Start a new post and fill us in.
