    • About Me

      Im an actress, stylist, casting director, student, international model, and most importantly I am a human being. I have been suffering with an ED for 3 years now, since i was 16. I just turned 20 last week. My passion is acting, whether it be alone, in front of a class, in front of the camera- I love to be human and be myself. I live to help others and be present. Only thing stopping me from succeeding is this ED and I am ready to let go of it- but I need all the help I can get.

    • Close Eating Disorders

      I have been with ED for about 3 years in several different forms. Started off a diet fanatic, then an exercise fanatic, exercise addict and bulimic, went into therapy, did not work well becuase the centre I went to exhibited females who were competing for weight loss and who could loose more weight. I came out of therapy worse and peaked at bp over 3 times per day- everyday. It was a struggle to get past 1/2 a day. Now I am more anorexic, but slip bc once a week, or less.

      Treatments

      Celexa Not Working
      Did not work for me. I had a reaction to it!
      Dietitian Consult Considering
      Any reccommendations? I would like to see one!
      Group Therapy Considering
      I had a group therapy session before, however, it did not work because the females were not willing to change and were very competitive as to who weighed the least and who ate the least, etc. It made me quite neurotic and made me feel like it was wrong to want to change.
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      They did not concentrate on the problem. My eating problem became pushed aside and my parents problems overrode everything else and it ended up being their help session- which didnt even help THEM.
      Support from Friends & Family Not Working
      Parents did not realize I had aa disorder until 2 yrs into my disorder. They thought i was just naturally loosing weight and just being a health fanatic. Actually they were too busy with their own lives to even care. They were not and continute to be the worst support for me. Friends...I dont have many of those. But the friends I have help me feel normal- and not so cast out.
      Effexor Working / Worked
      Ive been on it for about a week... havent upped the dose yet, but asides from the symptoms, its okay...so far i guess.
