Hi Everyone, I'm new here.i just want people to talk to who perhaps know what i'm going thru. I have been anorexic since i was 15, i am 18 now. i struggle everyday with day to day eating habits and just plain trying to cope. i get lonely and just want people to talk to.


:wave:

Hi Ava!!

Welcome to the site! We are so glad you are here. Hopefully you won't get lonely now. You automatically have friends to rally around you to encourage you while you're walking through this battle that we've all gone through (or are going through). You are not alone in this. We are here for you.

You are in my prayers,
MG

Hey AvA,
Welcome to the boards, you will find many here who you can talk with and will encourage and support you.

May I ask if an adult in your life knows about your ED or if you are currently getting help with it?

You are right that an ED is a lonely life, but as Misti said, you don't have to feel alone we can relate to your struggles!

Keep posting and read some of the past ones - there is some good stuff there!

Thank You MG
It's nice to know ui have people to talk to and to support me. My friends try as hard as they can to support me and i know they care but they honestly dont know what i'm going thru and i can see the secret looks they give each other when they think i'm not looking.
i think i will look forward to sharing my thoughts and feelings with people

my parents know about my ED, but unfortunately are not very supportive. They belive it is just some silly faze i'm going thru, even thought i have been anorexic for 3 years.

I am sorry to hear that. [ website/message board removed - not allowed ]

Like we said before we are here to support you. The reality is that you need to seek professional help. You are at an age now where you can do that without your parents permission.

One thing I will tell you honey, is this won't go away on its own. You need to get help and more than just from us or your friends.

Please think about it.

i have had treatment i've been in and out of hospitals for the past year nothing works. sometimes i dont know whether i want to get better, It's such a scary prospect to just let go of an eating disorder. To be an actual person...to show people that i can and do need and to be there... i dont know it's too hard to explain.... :confused:

welcome to the boards AvA_AdOrE :wave: and yeah i know what you mean about it being a scary thought of letting go of the e.d...i've been going to an e.d support group and then i just started therapy..i went for 3 weeks and then last week was my last session cause i couldn't afford it anymore..but i've been trying to recover...it doesn't seem like it to others but i have, i just feel like i can't do it....it is soooo scary the thought of not having the e.d...it feels like its my personality my whole being..i don't know who i would be or what life would be like w/out it...its weird cause its like the anorexia/bulimia is my best friend and yet my worst enemy at the same time :confused: doesn't make sense but yeah anyways i just wanted to let you know that you're not alone and i'm glad you came on these boards it's nice to hear from you ;)
