Getting Treatment

Quote From: weeziesmom

Hi Nicky, My name is Sandy and I just read your message.....I am over weight too, I have some health problems as well, but I care about you, I don't know you but I really do care, I am not sure why you are so unhappy other than your health problems which are, of course enough to knock you on you butt, believe me I know that much.  I have a degenerative disc disease which usually only hits those who are in their 70's and older reallly hard -- welp hit me in my late 20's and now I can barely walk, I have my own way of dealing with it tho, but enough about me Nicky I am worried about you........I didn't like what you wrote about ending your life.........believe me Nicky life is way way too short to end it, is it really that bad?????? Is there nothing that can make it better?  I bet there is, maybe if we put our heads together we could think of something together.  You said in your message you couldn't find anyone to listen.......well you just did.....ME  I will listen and I will talk to ya too......if you want me to, for as long as you want me to...............OK Nicky?  Because I do really care Nicky I really do.  I dooooo really care Nicky, and you know what I love food too, man do I love food too, my problem is I want to consider ice cream like a really major food ha ha.  I realize it isn't but I like to pretend it is, matter of fact I remember when I first moved out on my own, the first thing I did on my own (now most girls had a boy spend the night) nope not me, I had ice cream for breakfast---ha ha how's that grab ya!!!!  Talk to me Nicky!!!!!!!! I will listen I promise......just give me a chance :-)

I have spent what seems like my whole life battling eating disorders.  I am always either anorexic or bulimic.  In the beginning stages, I resisted any help and denied having a problem.  I am fortunately past the stage of denying a problem, but can't find any help.  I read article after article about people who have recovered from the anorexia/bulimia, but they always end the same: they did it through treatment.  I am DESPERATE for help, but can't afford $2,000/ day for intense treatment - which is what I need, considering I keep my head in the toilet practically all day.

 

Bottom line, it seems you have to have money to save yourself.  I don't want to die.  I want to graduate from law school, have children, live a NORMAL life.  Not feel like an alien at the dinner table eating melon while others enjoy bread and pasta! 

 

Why is it so impossible to get treatment?
