i agree with you people deal with life and stress and eds all difrent i no that i had pills when i started an behind you on this one babes

That's very true that recovery comes in steps, but the first diet pill post was not about how to kick the pills or how they were dominating her life, but instead she was going to tell us how they worked out! That's pretty harmful to those with past addictions to diet pills, don't you think?

I try not to get bitchy, but I AM blunt as hell and will speak my mind. If you come onto a forum, you have to read the rules and you have to expect some opposite opinions sometimes.

That being said, we ARE here to give advice and try to be kind.

I don't remember her saying that she was going to tell us how they worked out! Even so, I see nothing wrong in advising her to go to the diet forum and that we don't wish to hear the result's. HOWEVER, there is a fine line between being blunt and bitchy! We all can be blunt! I certainly can, when it's appropriate. Everyone here still needs help and advice. I feel that when I read a post such as the diet pills post, that I can take what I have learned and experienced and give advice and urge the person to think of a different resolution. Some people that are here for their ED's have not reached the point that other's have. We are all dealing in different area's. Some of us have discovered more than others. And I know that there are rules, but my god, we are all human, so someone might post something that is offending to others, unless it's Stewart or someone like him, give them a break. Be nice in telling them how you feel. I know that my issue with the binging part of my ED comes from thinking that I can't make a mistake. No one is perfect! I have to keep that in mind when I mess up, so that I can try and keep going instead of thinking "I messed up, mind as well keep binging, I suck". That's just my example of people making mistakes and should not be looked down on for doing so!

I know what you mean about support, but she did say she'd let us know how it worked out, and the post sounded almost pro-ED to me.The DS "Code" encompasses respect and support for others, but for this community it specifies support for those recovering, so from my viewpoint the diet pill posts are raising the subject of how to lose weight in a way other than a healthy life-style, and this could easily sabotage others' recovery.
Diet pills are all part of us obsessing about our weight. We've had some prickly dicsussions on here before, and they've always been caused by people asking questions then disliking the replies they get. If wanting diet pills is part of the recovery process, then surely being advised that it's not a great way to recover is justified? To be honest, I felt her replies were pretty blunt too.
