Dr. Phil gives advice on overcoming an eating disorder here on this site!  Yeah!  Did you see that yet?  I wish that he would do a show on bipolar, but nobody wants to touch that subject.  So many people have it, though.  I am just really proud of you for eating a salad, because you took control and ate healthy food that is going to help your body and your mind do what it needs to do!  Two really good decisions right there!  Good job!

salad is basically all i eat........  except i had a few cashews and some cranberry juice this morning but it visited the toilet........  i can't remember anything right today i don't kow how i am going to take the test......  i coulsn't even remmmber which folder i have in choir and i get the same one everday for the longest time..........  how can i forget taht........... haaaaaaaa!!!!  i have never went into that thing i have lllooked at somethings but maybe i have gone in that one part but i just don't remember.........  hmmmmm yeah..............

do you think that your forgetfulness is due to malnutrition?  I hope that this does not damage your academic abilities.  Did you know that telling someone that you "visited the toilet"  is important for you to be able to get better?  (I read that in the section on this site) I have been studying to see if there is something that I can do/say that will make things any easier for you.  I am glad that you had the guts to talk about it, though.  It is sorta tough sometimes.  So, yet again another good move on your part.

P.S.- At least you ate breakfast, it was better than nothing at all!  Take a small success over a big failure anytime!  You are doing a good job!

It is hard to say that

Quote From: hisjewel

but i threw up my breakfast i didn't keep it and the crazy thing is that it was only 2 handful's of cashews and some cranberry juice....... sorry i left so long...........   

  

you know i have the hardest time saying i have anorexia or bulimia....... i don't want to say the words it's like thereis a part that says no no no.............  wow thanks i am greatful for you....... 

  

i went down to my dorm mom's room just to get out of the room i don't know what i was going to do ic i would have stayed in this room 

You ate breakfast, though.  You have to look at the things that you have accomplished as well as the things that went wrong.  There is a part of you that stays in denial, until you actually hear the doctor say those words.  This is how it works.  I am glad that you went to your dorm mom's.  This is another instance where you stepped up and took control of what was going to happen.  Is there any specific reason why this all started?

you don't have to thank me!

Quote From: hisjewel

you mean the whole food thing 

  

yeah i thought i was going to beat my head against a wall or pull my hair out if i didnt' get out of the room so i jusut wnated to leave my room 

  

i can't say atleaswt i ate because i threw it up and shouldn't have.. i can't look at any accomplishment in that........... 

I really hope that you start to see that eating period is an accomplishment.  I was curious if you know why your issues with food started.  I had a friend a while ago who did not know why she even started.  With me, I started the whole suicide thing at 6 years old.  I wrote the note and sent it down the stairs to my mom as a paper airplane.  I was going to throw myself over the railing down the stairs.    you really should not thank me, after all you listened to me whine about my cowboy deal.

So What Else Do You Like?

Do you have a church that you like to go to?  I go to the same church that I grew up at.  All of my relatives go there (pretty much).  It's a country church.  We just had a hayrack ride last week.  We had fun!

Hisjewel, I can relate to a certain extent with the memory thing.  Does your mom & dad know you're sick?

Sorry Again

Quote From: hisjewel

my mom she doesn't really know this is ging on right now............... my dad i told him the other day i amm having a hard time but he doesn't really really knnow and neither of them know about my health...... i don't want my dad to know because well i mean i do but..... my whole life he didn't show me he ......... yeah anyway...... ummmmmmmm he is actually showing me he beileves in me and God's purpose for my life and i am just messing up.............  ummmmmmmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmm uhhhhhhhhhhh

I have been fighting with this thing.  I will try to get this out to you.  Your mom does not know about any of this, and your dad knows that you are having a hard time.  So, you are afraid of being rejected by your Dad?  You really aren't messing up half as bad as you think, my dear!  You have an illness.  Many people with these types of illnesses turn to drugs and sex and begin to get in trouble.  They go backwards, and you are moving forward.  You are a full-time student in college.  You have a purpose in your life, friends, faith in God.  You come here and talk about the things that are overwhelming you.  That is really amazing, O.K., so even though it is hard for you to see at this time you are so much better of a person than you think you are.  Believe me, I would get nothing out of lying to you.  I am a mother, and if something is wrong with my children, I want them to tell me.  If I so much as think something is wrong, I try to make sure.  You do not have to tell your parents all at once.  You could ask your father for help.  Just say, "Dad, I have been pretty sick lately, and I have lost a lot of weight. (you don't have to say that you have been purging or dieting) Could you help me out and help me pay for a doctor visit?"  Tell him, you just haven't been able to get rid of whatever it is and it's just worn you down.  When the time is right for you, you could tell him.  The forgetfulness really sounds dangerous.  Sorry if I am pushing you, but we need you in this world.  You are the only you there is. 

~GOD BLESS~
