Anorexia

Quote From: bjork12

 But I've gotten so much "help" and nothing seems to work:(  I've gone through treatment facilities 13 times and hospitals countlessly.   I get the feeling that I am going to kill myself with this disease, that I will starve myself to death or my organs will just give out on me.  If I could just get skinny again, everyone would be happier, including myself.  I just know that is true.  No one would look at me and laugh and make comments like they do.  It was never like that when I was thin.  When I was skinny, all I ever heard was "How did you get so thin"?  None of the giggles and harrassment that make me so depressed now.I dread going to work each day because of this.

I totally understand what you mean. I'll be 24 in a few months and I will have had an eating disorder for 13 years then. I've been hospitalized several times...once for 2 months. I've been through endless therapist, psychologist, classes, and group nothing seems to work. I wanted to try long term treatment but I can neither afford it or get it. I have had a seizure because of my eating disorder, I am no longer allowed to work, My doctors are having me apply for social security disability, I have heart liver kidney esophagus pancreas and ovarian damage, I have overdosed because of it, and became hypoglocemic, cut myself, and the list goes on...and yet I can't seem to beat this and it's starting to feel completely hopeless. I tried really hard to get the help I needed and to get better hell I had to gain 20lbs after my seizure...I'm 5'2" and I was 84lbs...now I'm at the point where I am just like I don't care...I may as well loose weight if I haven't been able to stop this..I'm just so tired of being sick all the time throwing up constantly starving myself I know you must be too....I just wanted to say I understand your situation. The work thing too. before I was put off work on disability I worked at a hospital...and everyone knew and all the talk and looks and bs got pretty old. I hope though you can find something that works. I'm just at a loss for what to do any more and feel like this is just what my life is going to be. jenna

*Hugs* I'm sorry if nothing has helped. I know where you are coming from. I've been in the hospital so many times, it's not funny. My doctor yesterday accused me of not eating. I told him I was, but he doesn't believe me. I feel he thinks I'm taking laxatives and purging. I haven't done either of those in awhile. The nurse put 98.2 as my weight when it was accually my temp. I didn't realize that till later, after I left the office. Anyways, Take care of yourself. You can email me if you'd like. I check my email as often as I can. It's jesus4every1@myway.com Anyways, I'll talk to you later. Just know that you aren't alone as far as how you feel. I feel like this ed is going to kill me as well. I just hope I prove myself wrong and live through this. Bye for now! *HUGS*
