Reply To: Eating Disorders Co Mordbid with Anxiety Disorders

happiest: First of all-I am so sorry that you have gone through such an ordeal. You must be filled with incredible strength to overcome and master the disorder. I apologize for not being clearer in my post. I have been doing research (for my senior thesis) about the connection between an anxiety disorders (specifically OCD) and an eating disorders (specifically AN). A lot of the literature that I have read has shown that there is a very strong connection. After reading countless articles I am feeling so overwhelmed by the scholarly world and am asking if there is anyone in the coffee room that can share an experience or idea with me as a change of pace.

Does that clear things up a bit? Sorry for the confusion!

rc: That does sound interesting! I’d love to hear what you have to say. I know that when my blood sugar gets too low- I get crabby and can’t really focus until I eat something. Does that run along the same lines?

Health: Oh wow, great excerpt. I will try to locate the original article and see if there is relevance to my research. Thank you for pointing that out!
