About Me
Hi, I'm a 38 year old mother of four children, and have a loving fiance. This is my second time around with anorexia (hate that word). I was 17 when I was first diagnosed with this disorder. I love my family dearly, but it can be difficult to talk to them about some of my feelings. I'm hoping to talk to people who are going through or have recovered from this horrible illness. Looking forward to making some friends.

I’m With You
Hi My name is Lexi and i know what your going through. i have been suffering from bulimia for 11 years and i am now anorexic and i know how difficult it is to talk to family about it, mine don't support me, they act like im doing something wrong, and in stead of help me they criticize me. This site has helped me alot, and i want to help others not to feel so alone, as i do. If you ever need to talk im here for support:)
Hug
checking in and saying hi as you haven't updated in a while, how was xmas and new year? hope you managed to enjoy it and relax a little. xxx
Hug
I just caught up on your journals and I am deeply concerned for you. You've got a lot to hang in there for. Please eat... just a little. You've got to bring YOURSELF back to safety if you won't go to the hospital for help. PLEASE try hard, Rel. XoxOX

- Paxil Not Working
- Didnt find this one helpful for me
- Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
- Sometines helps, but when I'm down its almost impossible to think positive.
- Prozac Somewhat Helpful
- Had this when I was 21. Didnt suffer any side effects other than weight gain. I would not go on it again.
- Psychotherapy Not Working
- Never had a therapist yet who has been able to help. Not sure if I'm very objective on my feelings about this one.

- Made me very nauseous all the time. Didnt help.

- When I'm willing to let people in It can they can be helpful.
