OK well I am new here and I have not posted anything. The thing is that I have alienated myself from all my friends (most of them fake anyways) and I just have no one. I am married but I mean I need some friends. I wish I had someone who understood where Iwas coming from. There are no meetings here that I can go to because of work and the time conflicts and I just am too scared to socialize. I feel like people around me are immature and just want to party all the time and really have no idea of the bad things in the world. (like ED) What I wouldn't give to just be normal and happy but it seems like I will never be because all I think about is food. all I do is count. I don't have fun doing anything anymore or talking about anything other than those things so maybe its me and not them, but...well, what is wrong with me???!!

hey, i am here for you, too. we all have issues about the same and somehow we isolate ourselves from even the ones we love so much. sometimes others don't know how we feel. often i am thinking of food and counting too. you will meet nice people here. give it a try.

Hi Ya, There is nothing wrong with you and you are what you are, the fact that you are perhaps shy and serious doesn't mean you are not normal, Eating Disorders can make us alienate ourselves, so that we feel safe and in control, once you start talking through some of your fears and worries you will see that. We all feel lonely to certain degrees and all of us here are friendly and can send you hugs, perhaps you could start setting some little goals to give you a challenge, like perhaps joining a yoga class or somesuch, going for a manicure, something for you and don't worry about complying with others expectations you dont have to Here for you if you want to email me xxx

Cutiepie-

I can definitely be your friend. I have been there. It's a scary place to be when you are never alone, but all alone at the same time. Thats why its so hard to let go of ED because then you feel like you'd be truly alone. It's not you though, it's ED. He is ruling your life right now and its ok with the right help, food plan, and doctors you can fight him. You can talk to us here, we can get it. We have all been through it. Please message me or friend me or hug me, I am definitely here for you whenever you need me.

I know what you are going through.....ED isolates us all. I hope you will know you have many people here, including myself....who are here for you and understand what you are going through.
I wish you all the best...and If you need to talk I am here for you!
