About Me
Me? Erm.... I live a normalish life on the outside I guess. I love to dance and act and write plays. That's what I spend the most part of my life doing. I'm pretty screwed up and I have low latent inhibition which can make me appear really crazy when really I'm just looking at things. I know it's weird. Can't think of anything else to put here but ask me anything in a message.

Support Groups
Close Eating Disorders
Type: AnorexiaAlthough I never seem to take enough action to actually help myself I am a great believer in recovery and everyone's right to live a full life. I believe that anorexia lives inside you, therefore you have control over it. Everyone can recover. And it's more of an achievement than any amount of weight loss.
Treatments
- Outpatient Treatment Program Somewhat Helpful
- I'm not sure. I've been on an outpatient program for absolutely ages now. It has helped me come to terms with things. The treatment requires me to put a lot of weight on though to keep me out of hospital which makes me severely depressed.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- I think everyone should have PT to a certain extent. It helps to look at things from outside of the ED box that I seem to be locked inside.
- Support from Friends & Family Not Working
- I have problems with family support. I find so hard not to see them as enemies but they never seem to understand and they always seem to just want to feed me and make me put on weight regardless of my feelings about it.
