all these girls are coming up to my friends and being like "is..... she anorexic?" and all his stuff. personally i dont care if they know. have any of yall expierenced this, what did u do about it. and what happens if it gets out.

Hey. I actually just sorta "came out" about it... I mean.. I've heard people talking about me behind my back but I've just started to ignore it.. hopefully someday they'll be able to say.. Hey its the girl who was anorexic but look at her now! Its great... she's even more beautiful. Kind of thing. I really look forward to it.
But yeah.. I know the feeling. I suggest you just ignore it... if anyone asks you about it... just say you're dealing. Anyways, Yep. My little advice.

I've had the absolute worst experiences with rumors and such. They pretty much destroyed my freshman year of high school. It all started when I told one of my friends that I was feeling tired- when she asked why I honestly said I hadn't been eating well. She proceeds to tell the entire class, including the teacher and the guy that I liked that I was "anorexic." The next few weeks everyone started like, excluding me from their little social circles because I was rumored to have an eating disorder. People still talk about it every now and then... I hear dumb comments but all and all I find it to be other people's ignorance.

I wish that someone would have said something to my face. Everyone commented about my weight loss behind my back but no one really said anything. I had no clue I was anorexic since I weighed as much as Hollywood actresses. People hinted and left slices of cake in my office, but no one really sat me down and voiced their concerns. I think I would have sought help sooner if they did. It's hard, because my friends and family didn't want to offend me.

truthfully- i want everyone to know about it. just the other day some girl were talking about how they thought their friend was anorexic, she is not. but they think she is bc there jealious that she doesnt eat just junk. at that moment i wanted to be like "hey guys im anorexic!" i dont know why but i feed off of that. by no means i dont want ppl to be like "ANOREXIC girl" or sumthing but i like concern. is this normal

When I first went into recovery I was so malnourished and out of it, but for some reason I wanted to tell the world that I was anorexic. I sent out emails to all of my friends and people at my tennis club, I even told some people in the grocery store! It was weird, it was like a badge of honor or something. I was bulimic several years prior and I never told anyone about that. It's almost like anorexia was the Hollywood illness or something, and it gave me an excuse for my actions, since I had done some pretty hurtful things to people when I was sick. But for now, I hardly tell anyone that was a part of my past. It just doesn't seem that relevant now that I'm recovered.....not sure if that helps.....?
