So Mr. Mac actually beat me to my idea when he said to link the stress to the ED...I have to say I'm proud of you for saying tht Mr. Mac! It makes me feel like you actually understand this a little lol. Anyway, stress is very directly related to EDs because it happens that a lot of people who are doing well in recovery may relapse when under large amounts of stress and/or experiencing a transition. Right now, many of us are applying to colleges as seniors in high school which is a transition in itself. There is a lot of responsibility put on our shoulders and for me personally, I feel stressed because it feels like my future is in my hands and if I make the wrong move I can ruin it. But I know that's me "catastrophizing". But I think lots of us can relate to this. Which brings me to the article that I found on google news about the stress of transitioning to college and how that raises the chance of eds. So here's the link to the article...let me know what you think....
