Quote From: maxiI see things are a bit quiet here......unusual for you guys!!! Hope you are all doing ok. I spoke to someone about what to do about the feelings and "freak outs" in my head (although Im eating, ect.), and for the most part they seem to be clueless. (Great help hey, lol!) Still trying to figure out whether its just because of sheer incompetence, or if its because unless you have an ED yourself it must be difficult to understand. Quite frankly, Im sick of all the weird looks I get when I touch the subject. (Its eather that, or people tend to change the topic very quickly......) At least people arent staring at my body anymore, but that also sorta freaks me out, because in some weird way I guess I like to look half dead. I feel its a perfect reflection of how I feel inside most of the time. Maybe its going to take some getting used to, I dont know.
Now thank Thanksgiving is almost upon us, I want to thank everyone on the boards for
being so kind, supportive and patient with me. I know I am one of the "older" of the group
and may not be as cool as others, but I sincerely want to thank everyone for treating me
with respect and taking the time to actually read and understand what I have to say.
Its sad when a group of strangers treats each other with more compassion and respect
than members of their own families. But thats why we're here isn't it - to take the place
where family and friends have come short.
Please enjoy your holiday. Try to find some good every situation. Its only 1 day out of 365
anyone can survive that....even me. If you need anything I'll be right here. But I think
you will do just fine. Don't sit and anticipate what others are thinking or sayng across
the room They might just be paying you a compliment.
I'm here if you need me
Big Holiday Hugs
Brenda
