      I hope to join, learn, give support and share with the problems and issues I am unable to handle by myself. I will try to ask for advice, get emotional support and help others for the first time in m life. I am ready to stop relying on myself solely.

    • Go For It

      From Livndadrem November 13

      Thank you for the hug, congratulations on the new goal, and you are right in your journal. He won't change. That's sad, but it's reality. The truth is painful, but it will set you free, and it is less painful than continuing to live a lie. Hang in there.

      From Livndadrem November 6

      I was where you are. I got out for the sake of my baby. It's hard to to it on my own, but it's easier than it was to do it with him. Don't bother taking a long look at the abuser - take a long look at your baby. Do what's right for both of you. If you need to talk, I'm around a lot - message me or one of the others. Do what you have to - protect you and your child.

    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      My husband is severely abusive to me. He is verbally abusive, ignores me or refuses to spend any time with me alone-- he neglects all of my emotional needs. He lies, accidently steps on me or bumps into me all the time, and drives badly when he drives with me in the passenger seat. He limits my access to money, cuts me off if I spend to much, and has left me without food when I was pregnant to teach me a lesson. I want out.

    • Open Eating Disorders
      Type: Anorexia

      I am 39 years old, female and suffered from anorexia and bulimia for nearly 20 years. Sadly I spent years in hospitals trying to get better. I am fully recovered now. But a old friend who I knew in a ED clinic said that she thinks I am not over my eating disorders yet. ALthough I disagree, I would like to join a ED support group to help make sure I have recovered and stay that way.

      Treatments

      Group Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      Outpatient Treatment Program Somewhat Helpful

      I didn't recover in OA. But I met a lot of people who understood how I felt. Nor did I meet any recovered ED people who did not lead the group.
      Prozac Working / Worked
      11 years, worked well.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      3 years in patient total. From drinking ensure, tube feedings, and bedrest... I think I have experienced it all back in the day when there were no doctors who were properly educated to treat eating disorders
