Last night I watched a program on TV where a girl being treated for alcoholism, told his story and the importance of self-help and mutual support found in Alcoholics Anonymous. Although it may be quoted in full the importance of mutual aid and support between people who are facing the same problem - if you do not think so, this blog would never be born! - Was another phrase uttered by this girl that caught my attention:
"There is no cure for alcoholism," said "but there is a solution. And it is to stay sober. "
E ' really rare to find a combination of realism and hope in a vast exhibition about dependencies, but this sentence perfectly reflected my views on the road to shelter from anorexia: there is no cure , but c ' is a solution. And the solution is to continue to feed it by following the "diet" that has given me my dietitian, thus maintaining a healthy weight (and for "appropriate weight" I mean "physiological weight," leaving a moment from all talks concerning the BMI) and avoid restricting the power, and seeking help when I feel I'm having a relapse.
The other truth is that the solution to alcoholism, to an eating disorder, or any other form of addiction is not like solving a math problem. When you solve a math problem, identify the data, applying the default formula, and what comes out is the result. Response. You may have solved the problem correctly or you may have made a miscalculation that leads to the result of going bust, but in any case can proceed to the following year. Conversely, the solution to anorexia and feelings associated with it, is not something that can be found by applying a few steps or to take any specific drug. We ourselves ogni giorno dobbiamo elaborare una procedura che ci permetta di andare avanti, un giorno dopo l’altro, per il resto della nostra vita. Ed è una sfida difficile da affrontare. Veramente difficile. Così difficile che la scelta di una singola soluzione sembra semplicemente ridicola. Ma quando si affronta un percorso di ricovero dall’anoressia, ci sono milioni e milioni di soluzione, soluzioni che bisogna scovare e scegliere giorno dopo giorno.
Sinceramente? Quando andavo alle scuole superiori, la mia materia preferita è sempre stata la matematica. ^__^”
Per la maggior parte della gente che non ha vissuto sulla propria pelle una dipendenza, la “soluzione” appare ovvia: Do not want to be a drug addict? Stop yourself pears! Do not want to be depressed? Stop being sad! Do not want to be anorexic? Stop restricting the power! Do not want to be bulimic? Stop throwing up! Do not want to have binge? Stop binge! Externals and surfaces. How many of you have heard such phrases mean? For years and years I heard people saying to me that if I had to recover from anorexia and eating simply gain weight. In a sense, could well be part of reason, because it is obvious that when I weighed XX pounds I was on a razor wire as inherent health. But people who say things like, I would like to ask a question: eat more and regain normal weight really does get better from every point of view and recover from anorexia? In my opinion, the "solution" is not eating properly reach a decent weight, the "solution" is to understand what led to anorexia and what we really need to feel better about ourselves and continue to feed ourselves even when it is the last thing we want to do. Finding the "solution" does not mean not having the desire to lose weight again, or approach tastefully a meal. Rather, it means being able to approach the meal.
I'd be mad that there was a medicine in grado di guarire dall’anoressia, ma purtroppo non esiste. Perciò dobbiamo essere noi stesse la nostra medicina. Ci sono tante cose che ancora non sappiamo del nostro percorso di ricovero. Ma fintanto che giorno dopo giorno riusciamo a trovare una soluzione, possiamo continuare ad andare avanti lavorando su noi stesse.
