Title. I'm struggling in a big way. My therapist isn't helping much. I cant afford to see two therapists (the one I have specializes in gender-related thingies).
I picked up Unbearable Lightness at my therapist's suggestion. I thought it was amazing and inspiring, and it really helped me to understand the degree to which I obsess over my own weight and my body, and it kind of put things in perspective for me.

Now, before people start with "see a doctor," I already have an appointment scheduled. I just want to read more about this. Anything you got. Please. I'm getting kind of desperate.
