jewel,

Suffering from an ed is horrid and I'm sure you already know this. I can tell you all what this has done to me; heart, kidney & brain problems-- but recovering and getting help has to come from you.

I have to say that dealing with this medical issues now (depsite me being normal weight--high end) sucks terribly. I've had heart attack, kidney failure, seziures (epilepsy) due to frequent electrolyte imbalances/dehydration that lowered my seziure threshold and more. I have a feeding tube; its not being used at the moment because I'm at a high-end normal weight. Yet the medical issues isn't absolving at the moment--- speculating diabetes or hypoglycemia now.

I can say this, school can always be there...your health won't. When you die, you die...that's all there is to that.

There are 2 people that suffers with an ED will experience:

1. They will suffer medically for the rest of their lives (unless they choose to recover)--you might not have medical problems now, but you WILL eventually. Once you do, it goes downhill and the issues get longer.

2. They DIE!!!

I hope you can somehow figure out what you want to do in your life, but i can say this... you deserve more than what the disorder is giving you.

T'care
