When I was pregnant with my first child, i was anorexic and bulimic the whole time. I developed complications and almost lost my daughter and my own life. My placenta just shriveled up. The doctors could not believe my daughter was alive.She lost weight inside me from lack of nutrition. I hemmoraged during the emergency c-section and almost bled to death. By the grace of god she is alive and almost 21yrs old. I am still fighting this horrible Ed, and sad to say my 20yr old daughter and 9yr old daughter both have eating disorders themselves. It is a never ending cycle. My 17yr old son moniters his food intake but he has not been diagnosed thank goodness.I am seeing a therapist and a dietician and am serious about recovery for the first time in my life. For myself and my children. I plan to be around and healthy when I am blessed with grandchildren. I owe it to myself and my family. Good luck

when i got kicked out of a hospital...i remember sitting in a room with all these doctors and nurses surrounding me and my mom was on speaker phone and i was huddled on the ground like some scared little girl, crying and begging them to please let me stay...but gettting kicked out was the best thingt they coulda done, it basically forced me to make a decision...to be sick for forever or to make a step forward

i have EDs and borderline personality as well. i have been losing weight for the past three months but then when i wanted to stop i couldnt. 13kg had disappeared and i didnt know what to do...everyone was nagging me with worrying and i freaked out. i had three massive 1 hr binges, each ending with vomitting and i felt so absolutely horrible that i cut myself for the first time in 9 months. i had been so sure i would never so it again.
i cut myself in the park, so when a police car drove past, they thought it was strange i was sitting there at 1am. they stopped and when they saw all the blood, they took me to the hospital where i had anaethetic injected into my open wounds and then 14 stitches, just in the one arm.
that is my lowest point. it was about a month ago.
