Tips for ED Recovery

I found one good article (only one!) regarding recovering from a restrictive eating disorder like mine. I really do want to get better so I am following the advice therein to the best of my ability.

First is the admonition to get help. Professional help, and personal help. Recovery is not impossible alone, but it is much easier when one has support to keep one encouraged and on-track.

I am having trouble with this, of course. Currently I see a psychiatrist every four to six weeks for fifteen minutes (mostly to get my prescriptions refilled) and a psychologist every four to six weeks for forty-five minutes (in whom I have recently lost a great deal of confidence).

And I have no personal support at all. I don't really have any friends. When I do try to talk to the people close to me about any of this, I generally am left with the impression they aren't listening.
