And yet an other girl

I saw the program of Dr Phill today about ED ... and really was toucht!
Sorry for my english, i'm dutch and not so good at english.

But still, I wanna tell you just a little bit of me. At this moment I'n 23 years old and struggling with ED's for 10 years now. But I was never scary thin. Actually, fat all the time ... in my sight.
I had 2 years where I was confinced of my health. I was eating, never purging and gaining waight. Was arround 130 pounds.. healthy.
Know I am on my own again.... and again I am losing waight. Right now I'm 110 pounds ... and I know I have a problem but also don't want to know the truth ... becouse i know I am still fat ..
How sick is that...
Really, I hope that young girls never start with ED .. and if they do GET HELP!! In time ... it s not worth it ... it really isn't!

I'm sort of the same way Ly-ann.  I know I should get help but I keep telling myself that I'm not  thin enough to have an ed.  None of my family knows that I have an ed so I must not be thin enough.  So I just keep saying if I lose another 10lbs then i'll go get help.  I'm 5'8" to 5'9"ish and weigh about 110lbs.  I really don't think there's any hope for me anyway.   

 

I hope everyone here is doing well!!

Hi Cheryl,

 

I will be more than glad to help if you would like.

I had anorexia and bulimia myself and so did my daughter and my father.

Also, I can tell you about thousands of websites you can research.

Good luck.

Just one more thing

I am a 21  Male  and have been suffering from Bulimia for the past 2 years, at my heaviest I was 300 lbs and at my lightest I was 160 lbs, I am now 190 lbs.(5'11). Recently (over the past few months) my bulimia has slowly turned into anorexia, now I only eat a few (2 or 3) times a week and throw up whatever I eat immediatly. It's as natural as brushing your teeth in the morning, I eat, go throw it up and move on with my day. I need help, the effects of these dieseases are finally starting to become evident, I feel like I am going to pass out all the time, my body has strange twitches, my teeth are gums are eroding away and I still can't stop. I need help, I know, but I'm not sure if I want it, I'm not sure that I will be ok with gaining weight, as sad as it may sound. I would almost rather be dead then weigh as much as I did before. i just don't know what to do...

Anorexia

I'm 27 and I suffered from Anorexia for ten years. For me it started as a kid, being taunted and teased for the size of my feet. Then once I got to age 14 I then realized that I could actually control what I eat, when and where I eat, and if I eat. I'm not sure what my Anorexia is about. Nobody really suspected that I had an Eating Disorder because I was always thin. I avoided treatment until June 2006. It was my first time being treated for Anorexia. I tried therapy, but that made my disorder more of an issue.

I've been out of treatment (I did inpatient twice, residential program, and participated in an outpatient treatment a few times) for a little more than a year. And right now, I'm struggling. I engage in behaviors on a daily basis, count calories, consume coffee (large Starbucks, please), and my favorite thing to do is restrict. Restriction is the behavior that I use most often.

It's difficult to eat.

I'm seeking support.

Anorexia

Quote From: worldwarme

Hi there. My name's Danielle and I'm a 19 year old girl that has been dealing with a lot of problems for a long time. I have BPD and I cut up every part of my body that is able to hide with clothing and sometimes chemically burn when I feel really bad. Anyways, I am down to 100-400 cals a day, changing so I lose weight, and I pretty much hate myself. I'm fat, scarred, and a terrible friend. Boys use me then tell me how disgusting I am. My friends leave me eventually when they find out I'm a cutter, they are always telling me how I'm not fat, but I know they are just trying to make me feel better because they are thin and want me to think I am like them. Anyways, I don't want to recover because I am not skinny enough yet.
Hey. Just know tht you are not alone.  I too am a cutter and suffer from an eating disorder. It is exremely hard to come cleen to friends out o fear of rejection and strange looks, but trust me there are people out here who understand and are willing to help You can contact me anytime you need to talk. Here is my email......    ten13scully@yahoo.com         ANYTIME!
