I read your mesage and although it's sad to see, it's also, comforting to see that there is someone out there, nearer my age, who suffers from this.
I am 42 and I suffer from both anna and mia I also am still battling this disease and have been doing so since I was 19.........so I guess I can totally relate to your situation.
I live in the UK at the moment, but I am originally from NZ.
I would love to have a penpal as I have only recently started treatment for this illness and I find writing, which I used to hate doing, has become a close friend to me, to help me express what I can't bring myself to say out loud or to say to another person...even those who are trying to help me.
Hope to hear from you soon
take care

Hi Maureen,
It was so good to see your post. I'm glad someone can relate with me. I think, there are more women our age still battling with eating disorders.
I am glad to hear you are starting treatment. It can be a battle but I know you can do it, if you really want it. I don't know what I want at the moment. I don't know if I can give it up right now. It is a battle I fight everyday. It does get quite tiring though I must say. I wish I could eat normally and not even worry about it.
I try to journal but sometimes it's hard. I tend to start and stop a lot. I want to get into the habit of journaling everyday.
I hope to get connected to the Internet again soon. Until then it's the library. Sorry, I can't post everyday.
Hugs,
Emily
