ALONE

PLURrave · 2010-10-24 00:21:29

Hi,
so i guess i'm hear because i need some place to admit that i am infact, an anerexic-bolemic.
i haven't suffered with it as longas some (which has been for a few months now), but i have always hated the way i look.
just recently iv'e been struggling with finding ways to re-shape and re-form my body in a way that is appealing to my eyes.
i am 18 years old and im looking for someone around my own age that i can talk to who is struggling with this same issue.
i can't go through with this alone, and i can post forums all day and talk to random people i don't know about my issue, but i know in the end it will never really help.
i need someone who can fight this with me.. so i don't feel so ALONE.

I'm not your age, but I want to give you words of wisdom. you are young and beautiful and you really need to love yourself. Seriously, stop this before you are like some of the "seasoned" veterans. Think about all the good things your body can do for you and stop comparing yourself to other people! I can give you horror stories of what it does to your teeth if it helps! You are a beautiful woman with many great qualities. I'm sure no one thinks about your appearance but you. Let food nourish your body and don't let it eat at your soul. Have you tried therapy yet? It really helps to talk to someone about these crazy thoughts we have.

PLURrave, I am 18 also. I struggled with anorexia for quite some time as well. I have been free from it for about a year and two months. I need you to know that you are not alone. I was a sophomore in high school when I was anorexic. That was the worst year of my life. The anorexic me, well, she controlled all of me. She was in the very pores of my skin. When I overcame this illness, it was silently. I suffered through it silently and overcame it silently. I thought that I would never tell anyone. But now, a year later, a senior in high school, I have told two people. I though I would never tell my mom because it would just break her heart. But I kept praying to God to help me find some way to tell her, because it was eating me up inside. And a week later, like word vomit, I told her. It was not nearly as hard as I thought it would be. And once it was over, it felt as if God had lifted the weight of the disorder right off of my shoulders. I haven't been the same person since. I am full of every emotion possible. I am happy. I am more than a body trying to become nothing; I am a person full of such life. I'm telling you this because I want you to tell someone about your disorder. I know that just sounds like it is out of the question, but it is do-able. Find someone who can listen well and just talk. You don't even have to say the words "anorexic or bulimic". You can just hint around and have them guess. Telling someone is the best thing you can do because it takes the burden from you. It frees you from the scared girl that is clinging to you. Trust me, telling is the best thing you can do for yourself. It seems like the worst, but it is not. It does not mean rehab awaits you, it does not. It simply means that you will have someone to talk to. And that means everything in the world. And if you can't find the courage right away to tell, pray to God to help you find some way to tell someone. And I will be praying for you as well, I will pray with all of my heart that you can find the courage and strength to tell. Remember, you are beautiful.

i can understand whats its like to be alone, cus theres no support for eating disorders in my area.

BornTHisWayMe · 2012-06-15 10:58:33

Hi,
I'm not really sure this is going to be much help, but I feel the same way as you do. When I hear about all of these eating disorders like mine, I feel accepted, ut also isolated. I am thirteen. I started dieting last summer, and then, around this past October, everything snowballed. I don't ever want to eat anything, ever. But I love food so much. Most of the time a manage to distract myself from food, either by working out or reading. Today's my first day on this website, and it's also the day that I'm pretty sure marks a down-point in my anorexia. My mom's going nuts and writing down crazy amounts of food that I have to eat every day now. I hate lying to her, but I'm already hiding food, and I think it might lead to bulimia. My mom just doesn't realize that she's doing me more harm than I've done to mysef all of these months. If there's anyone who's around my age I really like to email you, just for some support. Because of my age, everyone's super thin, and no one gets this at all.

If I may share a great book that was very encouraging to me by Chrissie Wellington called "A Life Without Limits: A World Champion's Journey".

If you are lonely on this journey, you will find this book very inspiring and uplifting. You can get it from Amazon.
