I know how u feel.... My bff has had Bulimea since 4th grade. after lunch she'll run to the bathroom and throw up over and over. She tells me its no big deal and that she NEEDS to lose a few extra pounds. I dts.

My older sister is 24 years old now, and she has been anorexic for as long as I can remember. I think she was about 13 when she first got sick. My parents put her in the hospital several times, and she was always combative. We thought she was going to die, because she kept pulling her feeding tube out and wouldn't eat or barely drink. She was in and out of treatment until a couple years ago when she finally chose for herself to get inpatient treatment. She was there for over 6 months, and it saved her life. I know that she still struggles, but at least she is learning to live a more fulfilling life. It wasn't until she wanted to get well that treatment really helped. You have to want a new life and have the hope that it is possible before you can start recovering. You will be scared, there will be times that you want to run back to your eating disorder, and you will feel discouraged. But don't give up.

I don't get eating disorders; You're perfect just the way you are! This year, I made a goal to lose some weight because I had some extra pounds, and through diet and exercise, I lost 10 pounds! I'm an average 13 year-old, not someone with an amazing metabolizim. It's possible to lose weight safely without throwing up or skipping meals, just watch what you eat and get some good exercise.

i dont get why some girls are soo self consious or afraid of being heavy set, you should't care wat other people think you should only care wat you think of yourself and you are beautifull no matter wat

Onederiction@5- you NEED to tell someone you NEED help it may be really hard but you NEED to good luck

My close friend has been anorexic for close to a yeas and a half now. I have tried so hard to help her but I feel so powerless. For all of you who struggle with these type of illnesses, please know that YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! There are ways to get through this and you are not alone. I know that it seems impossible sometimes, but you need to tell someone and get to a doctor. What you are feeling can be cured with medication. You are PERFECT the way you are because GOD made you that way and he loves you. You can get through this. If you need therapy or medication, don't feel bad. I love you and I will pray for you, but don't give up.

I am anorexic. I started a couple months ago. I've lost a lot of weight in that time. I'm very insecure, and unconfident about things. I am very in-decisive a lot and I feel nobody understands or can help through anything. You could see my rips, spine, collarbone and hip bone through my shirt. I have thought about cutting my wrists, but I haven;t actually done it yet. Is this depression? How do I stop it all, if I'm too afraid to communicate with anyone about anything, much less an eating disorder that my parents think is disgusting...?
