I feel that the butterfly foundation are great. There are lots of resources and help. 

Im really surprised they couldn’t help you @Eden1919   

Sounds like you’re in a tough spot at the moment. 

I know major hospitals have eating disorder departments that may be able to help you. 

Have you tried your local hospital or a major hospital? 

Im pretty sure you don’t have to go to USA for help. 

Wish there was more I could say to help you. 

I cant remember if you said you r been to your doctor. If you haven’t I think that would be a first step. 

Good luck xx

@BlueBay  The major hospitals in the state i am in do not have any eating disorder units the ONLY program in the entire state is 1 for teenagers in the community and the sate i was previously in also did NOT have a single eating disoder unit at all. and only had a community program which i applied to and was told they wouldnt take me because i was too complex. the closest one is still 8 hours away from me and it would have to be a private one because i am not a resident of that state. i really have looked into my options and i have been asking for years but everyone just turns me away and i honestly feel like this is affecting my physical health so badly at the moment but nobody cares and like i really do think it will eventually be what gets me. i just there is nothing left to do all i can do is cry at this point and even that i cant do because i just end up with a headache. i have tried so hard to get help with this issue but it just keeps getting ignored and i dont understand it is literally destryoing me but maybe i just really dont matter so no one cares enough. which is fine but i just wish if they werent going to help then they would stop having so many expectations of me. i am constantly tired and i just dont know what else i am meant to try i have been waiting to see a private psychologist for 6 months already and it will be at least another month and i just dont get what else i am meant to do.
