Hi Leroy, 

I hope your daughter had been recovering well in hospital.  You certainly need to be there but you are also right - be sure to take care of yourself as well.  Nourish yourself with healthy foods and restful sleep.  Know that you can post on the forums at any time if you need to vent or in need of support!

Here for you,
Vincenza, Health Educator

I must confess that I have not been faithfully following the program for the last three weeks. My daughter has been admitted to hospital for Anorexia. My energy is going towards her recovery, although I keep telling myself that I will need to take care of me too. The initial part of the program I experienced has helped me cope with my recent family struggles.

Welcome to the forums Leroy.  What are you thinking now after looking through the program?

Yesterday was truly an acceptance day or "drop your armour" day. Over the last couple of years, I've designated myself to be the pillar for the family, as my wife was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, my youngest has some serious OCD tendencies and most recently, my oldest daughter, has developed an eating disorder. Sounds like "crazy" has infected our home, but we are a great family and close in communication, so this compounded for me, coupled with a point in my life (43) of questioning where I'm at, was an excellent catalyst for a complete breakdown. I'm not suicidal, but I truly just want to stop. All of it. I've an appointment with my MD this afternoon but have enrolled in this program because I need some kind of hope.

Welcome Leroy,

It sounds like yesterday was an important day. Do you feel like telling us more about it? Or what do you think is important for us to know about you and what you are going through?

Today, after years of trying to be the strong father, husband and friend, I came to a crashing, vocal, tear filled, release. It hurt so bad, and yet, felt so...  . Anyways, here I am.
