Question

its just nice to know you aren't alone.

Answer 1

i used to.

but my mother took me to councling

so i dont now.

Answer 2

My mums friend who is 37 years old has suffered with Bulimia for 21 years and has had so much counselling but just cant stop,it's a real addiction and feels its impossible to beat it. She's only just told us this year and we had no idea.Now she's told us,it explains a lot.

Answer 3

Myself and one of my friends on here do.  We're in treatment and have stopped doing these things though.  Its a struggle you have to deal with every day.  Most of my best friends in person also have mood disorders and self-harming tendencies.  We're our own little support group.  You are never alone.  My buttercup uses something-fishy.org to connect with other people with ED's online.  Its a very non-pro ana website that doesn't allow people to post weights or other triggers on their forums.  If you need some support, you should check it out.  A lot of people on there also cut or self mutilate, by the way.

Answer 4

I've been anorexic for 13 years (yipes!). It would be nice to one day look like a person rather than a walking skeleton but it doesn't seem plausible anymore. Anyway... you're not alone!

Answer 5

Umm.. I sure hope that nobody is dumb enough to say they have an issue.  I would think they'd be in therapy at this point.

Answer 6

I used to cut, but now I'm more likely to punch myself in the leg or shoulder and it hurts and I roll into a ball and cry and think about ODing on my Atenolol to stop my heart but it passes within an hour and I'm a completely different person. Weird.

But before it passes I hate myself and everyone and no one--NO ONE--can talk me out of it. It just has to work itself out on its own. Like I'm possessed.
