OK... im 22 and I live alone ... with a very serious case of bulimia/anorexia.. I b/p ALL day even at work- Im sick... and each day I dont know how I can go on but I always do...and Ive ben b/ping all my money away and barely making rent.
so I was offered a full time position and it will pay so muhc better- I thought it woul dbe great becuase I could et more money and since Id be working more I wouldnt be able to b/p and maybe I could get my life togther.
BUT at the same time (in the same week of all things) I was accpeted into a bulimia study that if I complete they will send me for 6 weeks of inpateient therapy for FREE... which is crazy! I would love to go... I want this nightmare to end SO BAD.. but if I go I cannot take this job - and this job I only got becuase someone put in a good word and I will not have this opportunity again for this job and they need me to start this friday ( which I am) and here is no way I can just start and take off 2 months right away you know?
I need advice...
even though if I read this post I would say - are you nuts, take the therapy... a job can always wait... especially if you are dead, how can you go to work anyway-
but if I dont work, I cant pay rent.. and If I dont take this job then I have no job and I will not be able to get this awesome job again...
so Im really stuck. maybe having this job will hekp since itwill be stressful and time consuming.. but maybe not. what sh0ould I do] ↓

There will always be a great job oprotunity out there for you , but if you don't become healthy you could literally die and I am sure you know that I was bulimic for years I understand how you feel , getting yourself well is a better thing , it seems you have chosen this and that is a wonderfull thing it is a very hard step you have taken, you should feel good about that. ↑
