Smile Wanting to say hi.

Hi,
I've just had a rough day and was looking on the net for some help with dealing with bulemia, which I've had for about 8 months. I'm so glad I found you guys. I already feel less alone and stronger after just reading some of your postings and replies. I've been trying to deal with this on my own and I've realized that I can't do it alone. I know now that my disorder is a manifestation of past pschological issues that I have to deal with...somehow. But I also can't tell my family or friends, not yet anyway. I realize that I need some kind of support network to help me through the rough times, and I know just reading your postings will help me in a huge way. I had no idea so many women were dealing with this. It's so good to be able to relate to someone about this. So thanks...already you've all helped. I hope I will be able to help some of you too.

Michelle

Hi Michelle, and welcome to the boards!

First of all, congrats on posting. I was in your shoes once, and I remember how very scary my first post was. It was admidting to myself and others that I had a problem. That I wasn't well.

I'm sorry it took me so long ot reply, it's been a crazy week!

You haven't told ANYONE about your eating problems? Do you think there is someone that you could or would want to tell? A close relative, a close friend, a significant other? Someone who could help you during the most difficult and troubleing times, late at night when you need someone there to physically hold you? Sometimes it helps to have a person who knows, someone who cares enough to ask how you're doing.

It's a very scary thing...telling people. I, still, years after my eating disorder started, have only told 3 people. My family is still clueless (even after all these years) and most of my friends have either never suspected, or just assumed that I was too "together and rational" to dive into an eating disorder.

Hiding your eating disorder makes everything harder, and makes you feel alone. I hope you can remember that you are NOT alone. There are so many others who are dealing with the same issues as you are! And we're here to support you!!

Good luck and let us know how you're doing!!

NEVER GIVE UP
