Hey! Sorry it's taken me like a decade to respond - I took a biology summer course and it was sort of all consuming. How was connecticut? Did you have a good time with your bf? Hope all is well and it's getting easier to fight relapse - best of luck, I believe you can make it through!

Thank you for your encouragement! Your words are helpful to me and I think that your take on making a lifestyle change in order for anything to be permanent is wonderful! SO TRUE!! :)

Hey! Do you like being home? I'm having such a hard time being with my parents again. Good luck with the job search! (I'm working on that too...I have an interview at an organic grocery on tuesday.) Are you able to figure skate in college? when did you give up dance? (and i totally understand having to chose, both are super time consuming and expensive) I hope you're enjoying summer too!

Support Groups
Close Eating Disorders
Type: BulimiaNever diagnosed, but struggle with both bulimic and anorexic tendencies. Purge most of what i eat, as extreme anxiety usually sets in shortly after. Binge and purge or fast on occasion when i'm under high stress. It comes and goes in cycles. No therapist or treatment at the moment, just doing it on my own for the most part. Small things help. Message me if you care to know more.
Treatments
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- Boyfriend is my biggest source of support and motivation. Family does not know what i do and i want to keep it that way. I guess i hide it well, but i need to stop this cycle so i can stop lying to them and to myself.
Close GERD & Heartburn
I have/had an ED and the purging took its toll; i developed acid reflux symptoms last year and they were tamed by avoiding certain foods and also by the use of OTC drugs. Not too serious, but it returns every once in awhile.
Treatments
- Antacids Somewhat Helpful
- Totally useless except for fast-acting relief only for a couple minutes.
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- AVOID TOMATOES and spicy things, obviously. Still a pain, and can take awhile to figure out what you really can and can't have. When it's under control, its much easier.
- Prilosec Somewhat Helpful
- Helped for the most part, but only for like a month. Then have to restart cycle. Basically never-ending. Not a permanent fix.
- Raising Bed Position Somewhat Helpful
- Helps at night time, stuffing pillows under you. Not comfortable, and a pain in the butt to do.
Open Children Of Divorced Parents
Parents divorced, because my father was verbally abusive and mentally ill, when i was in 8th grade, and my little brother was just starting kindergarten, at 5 yrs old. I am in college now and the little brother (now 11) has to go to my dad's every other weekend by himself and i worry about him.
Treatments
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- Never fixes permanent problems but i talk to my mom a lot because she is raising us without any help and i feel like i need to help her cope with that and with my dads remarriage.
Open Depression
Treatments
- Writing Working / Worked
- I could write a book...journal almost every day. Or at least twice a week.
Open Self-Injury
Cut myself a few times, since high school. Hate myself for it, and am determined to stop!
