what if you dont have any friends for support . cuz i dont have anyone but my b/f . i live with him . i'm an hour and half away from my mom . i live in a very small town . its only got one red light lol. and i dont think there is groups around here that support eat disorders. its hard for me to get anywhere outside of town . i havent even seen my mom since dec 24 . my mom is my best firend but i think if i tell her about my disorder she'll have a heart attack. i know she'll support me but what is she going to do when she lives so far away. she has heart problems and i dont want to stress her out any more then she allready is .

Hi

I have had bulimia for going on 11yrs now, currently in therapy. see a nutritonist, and use both online support and support groups.. I recommend you contact either google "eating disorder support groups enter your city/state here" I found one that meets weekly and is based on the 12 step program, and there is one that I found out (thru therapist and nutritionist) about that meets at our local hospital. There are options, you just have to be your own advicate. It was difficult "coming out" to friends and family, and though sometimes I hate it, I have never felt more alone than when noone knew and it was just my battle to fight. I am here for you and would love to keep contact!


Take Care

I know all about those towns with one red light. Also, your mom would never want you to struggle with something like this alone. My mom freaked out initially, but she is very supportive and she lives 3 hours away. Don't suffer through this alone.

You are not alone, and you came to the right place for support. there are a lot of people in this community that can help, answer questions, and just be a friend who understands. Let me know if you need to talk. I am at my computer from 7 am to 6 pm (central) monday through friday, and 7-noon sat. (I don't have a comp at home)

The only support I have has been a wonderful friend from out of state online...I don't have family, I have no relationship with my mom or dad. I take that back, I do have my sis, but she worries too much, so I never tell her much. It's starting to get to me, but not too bad, I have been dealing with this for many many years, I guess I have gotten used to the isolation. I have always felt like some sort of a freak anyway. I hope you can find some support on here, I would say if you do, take advantage of it, online is a blessing if you find the right support people...and of course, I'll listen :)
