Eating Disorders Support Group
Eating disorders are marked by an obsessive need to control the intake and/or purging of food. This community is dedicated to those struggling on the road to recovery. Join to discuss your experience with others and find support. Get advice, ask questions, and meet others who are going through similar struggles.
I've been reading a lot of other comments, and see how much support there is out there for those of us that feel guilty, isolated, in despair with bingeing and purging.
I think that this space is great to vent one's feelings and explain when things go wrong, especially when you feel like you can't turn to people you know well, you can write to that big anonymous electronic world out there.
But I want to leave my first message to say that now, today, I feel ready to be more responsible and change my attitude to eating and what I do and get out of life... the problem is that my bullimia is secretive, and I can't share my sense of satisfaction with my closest friends and family. I can't say "HOORAY I've stopped" when they don't know I even started, 10 years ago. So I'm going to post my feelings here and, as they say, the rest is history.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
Then you can confide in the friends that know and understand you, you may well be surpirsed when they say "ah, we thought something was up"... hugs to you in your brave decision to be rid of your eating disorder....
i haven't been able to eat very much, and i 've been purging lately. when i Do eat, it's very little, but healthy.
day by day
Good luck to you.
