Hi all. I battle anorexia on top of other issues I am dealing with. Does anyone else have that to battle? I feel alone sometimes like people dont always understand what it is like to be in my shoes, so any support or anyone out there who does know what it is like, it would be awesome to hear from you! Thanks

Welcome Balletprincess -



I know how it feels for people to not understand. They think it is as simple as 'just eating', but they don't understand the mental turmoil that goes along with eating......the guilt and fear and shame.

Have you told anyone, or are you working with a therapist?
take care.....

Hi princess, I have anorexia, ihave borderline, ihave ocd, ihave ptsd, ihave personality detachment issues it gets kinda messy. I stoppes asking for, diagnoses a while ago when they started telling me that I had these things and more. And I asked why I never knew this. Then I felt like a elephant sat on me because I already had so much to deal with.
Then I in my later years sarted to look at it in another way.
It just makes me who I am. I have learned. I am all the wiser. I have scars. They do affect me but only to the point that I allow them to.
I am at this point batteling all my illnesses very hard. I think this is my wall that I have put up. I don't trust. Because of all of the trauma abandonment. And a word I have not been able to bring myself to say. So that must be my lesson in this . I do hope I learn with it not costing my life. I know that would be a great waste. I just have to look past my fear. Welcome to you. Your not alone.

Your not alone with anorexia. I am here for you. I have anorexia too, and today was yelled at yet again for losing weight by my conselor, almost felt good to have someone tell me that, but I know my doctor will have 10 fits if he notices my weight comming down.
