Thanks Groovychick - how are you doing? xx

Not too bad thanks hun. I've only engaged in 'bad' behaviour once in the past week or so which is definite progress for me.

I wish this thread was somewhere more private . That's all!
Obviously it wouldn't be useful to so many people then, but. If anyone still uses Xanga, PM me!

A friend from my old inpatient ward has asked if I'd feature in an article she's writing in the Guardian about people who have recovered from anorexia. I'm not sure whether I should do it or not!

 

[aubreee]

wow that'd be a great opportunity with the article!

but i totally understand your insecurity about it. What are your pros and cons?

maybe it's just me...but i tend to feel really embarrassed about my ed past...like i am active in an organization that works with eating disorders but barely anybody that knows me knows i used to be anorexic and i feel so ashamed of telling...


But it's important that people go out and tell their stories!! thumbs up!!!

never heard of Xanga??? but I agree with the privacy thing xx hope you're ok xx

Mm, it's kind of like a blogging website that is quite popular in the online ED community. Or used to be, I'm not sure about now!
Thanks, I'll live just stress with the club opening and stuff!

I am so stressed out I didnt eat for like 4 days, and then wehn I do now I feel sick.

I hate what this does to me

 

[Groovychick]

Try to eat small amounts hun.

 

[9babiesgone]

I am trying. I dont ever eat large amounts, but just eating normally is killing me right now.

and now I am starting to blame my problems for my mmc

 

[Groovychick]

How about drinking nourishing fluids instead like homemade milkshakes or smoothies?

And please don't blame yourself hun. It will only reinforce negative feelings within yourself.

Hi I'm Helen and I got pregnant in April last year. I was right in the middle of anorexia but I managed to overcome it for my babies sake. But I've been to the doctors for PND and she diagnosed me with purging bulimia. I didn't even realise I had it. I really would like someone to talk to.
And I hope it's ok for me to post in this thread

 

[Sarah10]

Hi Helen, i'm here to talk if you need to xxx

 

[Sarah10]

OOOOH what a week, i had made a dr's appointment, i'm sure i am depressed or something, anyway i backed out of it, i have relapsed into my ED and i've admitted to myself its a safety net and i need to control.

I am really not ready to recover.

 

[Groovychick]

Awwwww hun! Why do you not feel ready to recover?

 

[Sarah10]

I'm too scared x

 

[Groovychick]

Scared of what?
