Hi Katie,
Well, I have generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, major depression and the eating disorder. I think a lot of people with eds have anxiety - the two tend to go together.
I find my meds helpful and congnitive behaviourla therapy - but it does create quite the challenge. For me, once I had my anxiety and depression under better control, I was able to start focusing a bit more on the ed, although I still have to focus on reducing anxiety or it comes back all the time.....hope you are doing ok.

Hi Tinkle,
Yes, I feel the same way. I am fully procrastinating and feel like **** due to it. I actually posted a while back to see if anyone suffers from an eating disorder, as well as panic. I would love to futher talk to you about it. Not sure how to challenge the two at the same time?
Katie
Thanks for the support. I typed this post a while back, but the issues are still the same. I made a mistake last week and I can't seem to forgive myself for it....such a perfectionist.
take care

i'm a perfectionist too and i get riddled by guilt and worry sometimes. I understand what that overwhelmed, "not enough time" feeling feels like.
just keep doing your best to stay afloat. because as long as you do your best, that's good enough. even if it might not be perfect.
Hang in there!
Yes, it is difficult to be a perfectionist. Iam trying to work on it. I feel really bad when I do something that isn't absolutely perfect, and hyet aI procrastinate and sometimes rush through things to get them done...my anxiety levels have been getting worse lately....hope you are well

I have place similar expectations on myself at work and am also a perfectionist. I get freaked out when people call me wanting things on-the-fly and have a difficult time when I get over-loaded with projects; especially those that I consider a waste of my time. Sometimes though, I think work gets assigned to me because I'm the only who shows up everyday and meets deadlines, regardless if the project is well-suited or not :)
Yes, thanks, I am feeling better now. I didn't resort to any eating disorder behaviours - instead I went to the the gym and this am I did yoga. Feeling prettty good. Hope you are well too!

I hope you're feeling better now. Nobody is perfect and it be a pretty boring world if we were. Hope you're doing better and that you are feeling less stressed.
I am just posting because Iam sick today and I cancelled my appointments to see clients (my job) and so I am feeling guilty and panicked. I know that everyone gets sick and that it's not really that bad, but I always feel on edge if I don't do my job. I always want to be perfect and I have an unfounded fear of being fired all the time, so being sick makes me nervous. I also have an eating disorder and the nervousness makes me want to restrict or binge and purge, so Iam trying to avoid doing that as well. Just needed to share to alleviate some of the stress I am feeling
