Hi all no one understands how I feel not even my best friends.
I have a little girl who I love dearly but all thats going through my head is that I'm tired and don't want to be here anymore. in the past year I've lost over 6 st in weight (over 84 pounds). and I'm still losing. I've tried to eat but my stomach just can't take it anymore. I find when I'm stressed I eat and can't stop until it hurts.
I don't binge all the time just when I'm down but I'm sick everytime I eat.
I've been taken to hospital twice in the past three months and my work are now getting worried about me and asking questions which I try my hardest to deny.
I don't know what to do??
I'm just soo tired of having to tell people or hiding things. I'm soo scared and my life is shit.
I need help but there's no one to help me.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
the second thing you have to do, is look for whatever help you can get, and take it.
you know this is a life or death situation, so now you have to be prepared to look at it straight on, and fight.
it won't be easy, but living the way you have for the past year, hasn't been either.
your life is worth more than your eating disorder.
You're going to need to find out if you can do short-term disability with work, so you can go into inpatient. If there is no one in your life who can take your daughter full time, you may be able to find an outpatient intensive program where you stay at home during the evenings.
Keep at it, keep fighting.
tell your doctor what is going on and then take him/her up on their offer for help. you need it and you know it. accept it.
