Right, I won't lie- I can't really give you any advice on the ED side of things, so you are free to ignore this reply if you want. However, I have just spent 3 years doing LDR at uni whilst I had SI/MH problems so I hope you don't mind me butting in.

Firstly, unis do NOT discriminate, especially with the kind of student support they give out. They are very impartial, non judgemental and caring, and very importantly, confidential. Whether your parents think you're recovered or not is irrelevant, they don't have to find out unless you tell them. And it sounds like it'll be really good for you to get into some counselling, and possibly MH services in your uni town.

As for the boy thing, it sucks. I know. You can see each other every other weekend, alternating who visits who. While that might seem like a long time, it really flies fast and you'll be so busy that you'll hardly notice. Skype is the obvious answer to missing seeing him- it can work really well for LDRs, but obvs you have to plan when to be online. What worked well for me and the boy was getting Orange magic number to each other- we spoke everyday (often several times), sometimes just to say I love you, sometimes to cry on his shoulder for 2 hours. Its not "taking time out of his busy life" to talk to you, its seeing how the girlfriend he loves is doing, and supporting her through good and bad.

I don't have time to say as much as I'd like, but I'll try to come back to this later. PM me if you want to x




Wake me up before I change again
Remind me the story that I won't get insane
Tell me why it's always the same
Explain me the reason why I'm so much in pain.
