SED(Selective Eating Disorder)

[lostmyshoe]

Finally, after all this time I can put a name to a disorder my daughter has that makes life here quite difficult at times. I have found no one else that has a child with the disorder to the degree my daughter has it. She only eats maybe 10 things and they do not include fruit, vegetables or meat. After a vacation trip and a terrible time with my daughter with food I finally found online what it is that she has along with ADD along with other things. SED is more then just being a picky eater. I will send a post with info on it to the ADMN and they can share it. I myself suffer from ADD as some of you may remember me and have not been here in a long time. I suffered a breakdown a while back and have slowly been recovering. I can't commit to every day forums anymore because I lose focus of important things to be done in my home and attention to my family. I can try to pop on from time to time but daily use of my computer becomes destructive for me. I have missed everyone here and want everyone to know I am doing okay. I hope you all will forgive me for being gone so long. I just so much wanted to share the information I found out in case there are any of you with children that suffer from SED. Maybe you can make it a new topic to discuss if there are some of you that deal with it.

We are currently having a very hard time with my daughter right now and need to focus on getting her the proper help. She also has no friends and seems to be clinically depressed. She was picked on a few years ago in school and can't seem to recover from it. So sorry to go on. Just feeling overwhelmed but also want to reach out to anyone else that is not familiar with SED and may be dealing with it. Thanks so much for reading my post. Losty(AKA Di)

Oh, Losty...I was so happy to see your post today! It has been so long since we've heard from you. I've wondered how you and Rebecca have been and think of you often. (((((((Hugs)))))

I'm sorry that things have been difficult for you. We understand that life can get so overwelming and sometimes you just need to step back. I'm glad your getting answers with Rebecca's SED. It must be so wonderful when you finally can put a name on something you deal with everyday. It sounds like you guys are getting her the help she needs.

Please stop by whenever you can. We miss you and your wonderful perspective of life. Come whenever you are able..we'll always be here for you.

I also was very glad to see that you had been here! I missed you so much! I've never heard of SED before but I have a feeling that my cousin Amy had that same thing. She only would eat about 12 foods until about age 16 or so & then she slowly started accepting a few more. Her mother went through HEll trying to feed her! I'm glad you found out & can get some help for Becca. I'm so sorry she's having trouble socially. I remember you posting about that in the past & it just breaks my heart.

Taking care of yourself & your family has to & should come first. There is nothing to forgive. You always have a "home" here though & I hope you'll pop in when you are able!

BUG HUGS FROM ME!

Losty,
I have missed you too and I'm thrilled that you let us know how you are. I'm so sorry you have been going through such a rough time.

I do understand how computers can kind of take over your life.

I'm expressing the same sentiments everyone else is but I'm also glad you finally found a name for your daughters eating disorder. (I'll read that link that was posted in a minute.)

I do hope you can pop in once in a while but if it causes problems in your life then of course I (we) understand. Big hugs to you.

Losty~Glad we know the {whole} story about where you've been.

Don't worry about the time you can spend here . . . It's quality over quantity anytime.

Nette is a picky eater too it is hard to cook when she will not eat most of what I cook. Hubby working nights I resorted to sandwiches and pre-heated stuff now getting back to basics like cooking.
I hate bullies!
