So, I could maybe put this in mental health but I feel like I am clogging up that one at the moment. I am in the midst of a relapse of eating disorder and other stuff which is equally un-fun.
Pre-teen son currently knows how to press all the stress buttons (not really bad behaviour, just the little things that really get to me) which currently result in becoming overwhelmed with stress, and then engaging in eating disordered/self harm type behaviours to smother all the feeling. So I know that is not good, and I was wondering how other people who are not trapped in such negative patterns of behaviour cope with this level of stress from children? (I also know I am experiencing little things as disproportionately bad and it is all linked, but I really could use some coping strategies). Any practical tips welcome.
