Alright, so I haven't posted in quite some time and I really just need to vent and get this out there. ONCE AGAIN! I am not a moderator or CL here, I am just Jessi Blues, that's it, not above, nor below any other member of DS. I am however going to speak my mind for a second because it seems quite obvious to me that there are people that still think that although post may be titled "poss. trigger" "trigger" "bad day, could be a trigger"... what have you, I'll speak for myself, I respect that and appreciate that, giving me the option to open or not. What I do not expect nor like is when I chose to read them and notice other members are condoning, or so it seems to me, PRO/ANA-MIA This down right DISGUSTS me! Please at the very least, step out of your own zone for two seconds and remember that each and everyday there are new members coming on here. Some that have left pro-ana/mia sites, seeking POSITIVE support. Some are new to meet a new support network. Some come on here after losing a loved one to this disease. I'm almost in tears. I have invested a lot of time into my friends on here that struggle every day, some every second of everyday... and reading shit like "go on the juice diet" has just brought me to tears. I am crying right now. I am crying because many of the people on my friends list have LOST PEOPLE to this disease. None of this is a joke! NONE OF IT! And to mearly suggest diets because someone is having a bad day, yes, we ALL have bad days... come on guys!!!! This isn't funny. This is a life threateniing disease. And so help me god, if that one post that I am refering to gives a single new comer an idea to actually try some assignign diet, I will have lost it! So please, STOP trying to sneak in anything but pro-positive support to recovery and help! Not more and more self destruction. For me to cry over a post made... well is a LOT! By the way, I have reported that post and hope and all of it's comments have been removed for the board.

I'm sorry that you are so effected by that post. It upset me as well - although I turned to anger not tears. I've lost a friend to bulimia and it saddens me that some people think that they can promote the disorder and that it won't kill them. THEY'RE WRONG!!! Just today one of my YT contacts posted a video dedicated to her sister who died from anorexia at age 15. 15 years old, it broke my heart to watch that video. I believe that if you really think you can live with this disorder and that it won't kill you then you need to search for those videos about sisters/cousins/mothers/etc dying and the effect that it has left on the remaining individuals. Everyone who thinks it is okay to have this disorder and promote it need a good smack around and need a snap into reality. I mean, seriously! You have no idea the physical and emotional damage I have caused my body - it may NEVER heal physically and I will SUFFER through it for the rest of my LIFE. And I am lucky. Some become terminally ill due to their ED - their kidneys and liver suffer and shut down. Their heart is permanently damanged. Gosh, just wake the hell up.

Ed is no fun... ppl are deep in it and dont see what they are doing... its sad and awful but Its everywhere....
Im glad ppl spoke their minds and tried to show how bad it is to these types of posts. ppl who are pro ana are sick too tho'. they are not evil or bad, but sick. they found a nice sick club to join... makes them feel normal... just like going to a bar. its sad...

BeccBecc, it brought me to tears b/c of the anger. I agree w/ the rest of your response to this whole heartedly.
And Yazzz, but even at a bar you have an alternative... AA, or any other support network, you know that. I didn't say these people are evil. But if you are gonna promote pro-ana/mia take it where it is appreciated. If you are doing it "by accident" b/c you are so deep into your disease and don't see it, well hopefully my response to that post and this post is enough to wake them all up and take that shit elsewhere. That's all I am saying.

Right but pro-ana/mia has no place HERE and that was her point.

I can't find it but DS states (or did) clearly that PRO ED would not be tolerated on the boards, as it does not support recovery.

i was asking for advice when i posted that, i was asking if people thought that i needed help, just so that all of ya'll people kno, hey! i'm getting it. I'm going back into hospital because of loss of periods. nd back into councilling.
Tomorrow is halloween, i don't need a costume, or a date, or a brilliant party, i'm in hospital with people watching me and keeping me away from sharp objects. Pro ana is keeping me away from a lot of other bad things, obesty being one of them, at the moment to me, obesty is anything over 8 stone. screw this i'm deleting my account

Hon, I personally wasn't that upset by your post, I was upset by a post that led someone to tell a girl to go on a fast...your post I had no real issue with..I do have issues with people that highlight the pro stuff to people who are struggling to recover...it's not ok. I hope you can recover..Hugs.

Sapphire, I hope you succeed in your recovery and I'm glad to hear that you're going into the hospital as your body and mind are obviously negatively affected by the disorder. As you come out of your disorder you will see the delusions that your ED is convincing you are real. If it helps obesity is not anything over 8 stone. I'm over 8 stone and I'm not obese, I'm normal - my BMI is good and in an acceptable range. I was 8 stone about 2 years ago. I was very ill physically (could barely walk through a parking lot let alone around campus, my blood pressure and pulse were low - at times my pulse would plumet into the 40's and I could have well DIED in my sleep). Did you know that maintained low weight can damage you permanently? Those loss of periods can ruin your chance of ever having children...ever. I know with time you will come to realize that you can be over 8 stone and not be obese. Also you will come to know that pro-ana is dangerous and not a form of protection. I wish you the best in your hospital stay - make the best of it.
