Need to Vent - Eating Disorder Recovery Message Board

luv2travelgirl · 02-21-2005, 07:34 PM

I woke up today and just looked in the mirror and cried. I am sick of over eating and then throwing up or just not eating at all. I feel so alone right now because no one knows about it and I can't tell anyone. I wish I could just scream or reach out for someone to help me. My family, friends and boyfriend have no clue and sometimes I want to just tell them and ask for their help, but I can't. I'm afraid if I do what will they say or what would they think of me. Or worst of all would they even care. I know that I am hurting myself but I just can't stop. I wish I could just eat normal and have a normal body but I know that I don't. I am tired of what this is doing to me and Im tired of feeling tired, weak and feeling like I'm going to pass out half of the time. Sorry for going on just needed to vent a little. Thanx

o luv2travelgirl!!!

i was on the same page hun! we are so here for yah! i am 14, been bulimic for 2 years and i confronted it not 2 long ago. i told my mom first because she was getting concerned. it was an amazing experience i must say. so, she told dad, and a lto of my fam know. then i told one of my best friends. she was great about it!

but then, my other friends started thinking i was anorexic and were getting really concerned so i thought i should tell them. i am also glad i did that. really, id tell ur fam and friends! its one of the best things! u need support rite now, and ur fam and friends will shurely give it to yah! if they force u to eat or whatnot, dont let them, but if u need someone to talk to, they'll listen.

telling ppl is a BIG step to recovery. id say it was one of the best decisions i made.

do u consider seeing a counsellor or phyciiatrist? i see a counsellor and it works wonders.!

keep in touch!
