Cutting, depression, ED?

[small2000]

I've been diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa, feel depressed a lot of the time and cut regularly. I go for therapy with the NHS but I still feel terrible. Does anyone know how I can start to feel better?

Thanks for your advice, I get CBT and therapy now.
Thanks!

Destressing and relaxation techniques like breathing exercises, yoga, and exercise (walking, swimming etc) should be tried.

Hi!
I am sorry to hear about your medical problems.  Part of your problems can be overcome by doing things you like (such as a hobby, an exercise activity, a mind stimulating activity). This will keep you happy and focused. Having a goal in life and working towards it also keep some happy.
Sometimes therapy alone is not enough to treat depression and anorexia. You need to consult a psychiatrist and start taking some medications to improve your condition. With time, and continuous therapy, you may later be weaned off medications.
Hope this helps. Take care!
