| Re: Not Eating + Exercise + Throwing Up
Hi Shell,
I'm new to this site too, but I tottaly relate to your situation, I was just like you. I still am trying to complete recover from my ED but I know it will take along time. The thing is you are going down a path that is only going to get worse. At first it may have seemed worth it becuase you lost weight so fast, but with ED you will never feel like your losing enough. When I first started throwing up everythig I ate and excersing ritually, I lost alot of weight. When I came hope from college after my first quater my parents kept telling me I looked really good, that only made me feel worse (like I needed to lose weight in the first place, and that I needed to continue to do it). After several more months of the same routine I was always tried, weak, dizzy, and depressed. I would always brake down and cry and never wanted to do things with my friends. I was even at the point where I was throwing up blood. Heres the thing you have to realize, doing theses things to your body will never make you happy. You have to want to get better for yourself not anyone else. Its hard to make your self realize that your sick. It sounds like you want to lose the weight but your misserable, so you have to ask yourself is losing even more weight really going to make you happier? I know its really hard, and for me I got help talking to my bf becuase at the time he was the only I felt could help, even though he really didn't understand. I think talking on this forum is a really good start. I have never been to thearpy myself basically because I don't want to admit to other people that I have a problem, even though I obviously did and still kind of do. After talking on this site and reading other peoples posts its really comforting to know that there are others who feel the same way and trust me your not alone. Also this site seems like theres alot of people who can offer you great advice and hopefully make things alittle eaiser. I hope by reading a little of my story you know your not alone, and I am doing alot better then I was a year ago, so I hope you realize you can get better you just have to want it for youself and there are people here to help you!!!!!!
Best of Luck,
leash
