I cut.
I starve.
I purge.
Obviously that is a problem.
I recognise that.
My GP recognises that.
Therefore I must attend CBT.
Oh shit!
CBT is a relatively new strategy. It can apparently help how you think (this is the cognitive part) and what you do (behaviour part). It focusses on the "Here and Now", finding resolutions for the issues you face daily and not dwelling on past causes of stress and pressure, trying to improve your overall state of mind. You have to think about a situation that makes you anxious, then evaluate the thought process, feelings and actions. This seemingly breaks up the cycle of altered thinking. I don't know if it's gonna work but I'll give it a try.
However I don't see the point of it.
Why don't I go to Barnes and Noble and buy a book for $10 instead of having to travel every week to this unnecessary and tedious process. If medication doesn't work, nothing will.
I shall let you know how it goes, my first session is on Monday.

While feelings or emotions are considered as the outcome of our thoughts, the experts in this therapy act in a reverse direction to change the course in a desirable way and get results. Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of those professional ways.
