    • About Me

      Hi everyone! Currently, I suffer with an e.d. and have recently started suffering from anxiety. Additionally, I also am lactose intolerant and have IBS- leading to constant abdominal pain. I am also a sensitive person, and most always look up to people to help me out, and try to help others in return. :] . I want to really work on my self esteem, because I am always throwing out the negative about myself. But for others, I can always offer endless amounts of happiness, hope, and faith. I love to sing all the time, although my sister does tell me to be quiet! I wish to become a singer one day in my life- and hopefully I can follow my dreams one day. One day, I'd love to be known by everyone. Be in a magazine, speak and support, act in a movie, or sing in a huge concert. But aside from that, I LOVE technology. Call me geeky chick! I love tinkering with computers, experimenting with different software, etc. I like going to high school a lot. My sophomore year was tough. I am a junior now and I am hoping to have a successful year. I am a straight A student and always try to be. I hope to strive for the best for my future. Additionally, I love my dog Reesee. My little Chihuahua has helped me tremendously. He is such a joy to my life- I don't know what I'd do without him. I love spending time with my family. It's nice to sometimes have quiet days to spend time together and relax. Well, that covers just a bit about me! Glad to be here getting support and supporting others. Take care, and God bless! :]

    • Close Panic Attacks

      I'm 17 years old. I suffer with anxiety and am willing to find help to make my life feel better than ever.

    • Close Eating Disorders
      Type: Anorexia

      I've been suffering for 6 years. I am currently healthy and looking to kick Ed out of my life. :)

      Treatments

      Dietitian Consult Working / Worked
      A nutritionist who deals with people who suffer e.d. can be very helpful. I found one, and he is great. Best nutritionist out of the three I've had in my life. Highly recommended. :)
      Lexapro Not Working
      Didn't find a difference with myself. It was very hard for me to accept taking medication. But I currently do not take it.
      Outpatient Treatment Program Somewhat Helpful
      It was somewhat helpful for me. It was a hassle going 5 times a week, but it is worth a try for others.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      My therapist is unbelievable. She has got me through wonders, and I am so glad to be working with her. I am continuing my therapy with her and plan to make strides little by little. I'm speechless about her because she has helped me through so much.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      It definitely depends upon you. My friends do not know about e.d, and I'd like to keep it that way. But you may certainly be open for support. With family, my family still does not accept anorexia. My Mom especially, has helped me through everything. I love and thank her dearly for everything she has done for me.

    • Open Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

      I have been recently diagnosed with IBS. It is a real pain, but I willing to be strong and work through managing my IBS. :]

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Too Soon to Tell
      I have lactose intolerance. Avoiding milk and dairy products have helped a bit with bloating, but it's too soon to tell yet.
      Colace Not Working
      Made me very miserable, and very uncomfortable to be in the public.
      Miralax Somewhat Helpful
      It worked for a bit, but I did not see much of a difference. For me, Benefiber has worked better.

    • Open Lactose Intolerance

      I have been recently diagnosed with lactose intolerance. I always knew that there was something funny going on with me while having dairy products!

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
      No milk, yogurt, or cheeses have helped a bit with my intolerance.
      Lactaid Working / Worked
      Works wonders!
      Lactose-Free Diet Working / Worked
      Very helpful.

    • Open Hypochondria

      I always think there is something wrong with me. I've heard so many stories, so many things have happened to me, that I just become overly concerned with my body.

    • Open GERD & Heartburn

      Just recently I've been experiencing GERD symptoms. it is very uncomfortable. My symptoms usually occur everyday and it gets bothersome.

      Treatments

    • Open Fitness Goals
      Type: Maintain a workout schedule

      I would love to start running again. I want to prepare running for cross country.

    • Open Healthy Relationships

      I've always been afraid of men (except for my Dad!) I don't know why. I want to grow out of this so I can share a healthy relationship... with no sex involved. I believe in sex after marriage.

      Treatments

      Talking Considering
      It's hard to talk to my parents about it. I do have a great therapist I can talk to.
      Writing Considering
      I'm considering to start journaling so I can let out my feelings.
