Hi everyone. My name is Sarah. I'm new to this site but not new to the world of eating disorders. For me it started in my teens. It went from binge eating, to restrictive eating, to full blow bulimia. I've been living with bulimia for 10 years. I'm now 38 years old and sick and tired of it. I have started a great treatment program and am looking for support from others who know what it's like to live this life. I'm looking for an active support group and to find friends.

Hi! This group has been fantastic for me. I have a great treatment team but I don't know anyone else w an ED and there aren't any support groups here so I have found this site to be life saving! Knowing I am not alone in ANY of the things I think or do makes me feel hope that I'm not just messed up and unfixable. Glad you've joined us!

Hi Sarah, I'm new too. I find this group extremely helpful and everyone is so reassuring and understands. It is so nice to be understood from someone, when your not used to being understood. Wish you luck on your new treatment program. I am in the initial stages of seeking help for my suspected ED, and everyone has been so kind and helpful every time I post.

Welcome to the group. I'm actually new here too. And out of all the ones I've tried I really like this one. If also struggled with an eating disorder for a long time. And in that time I've dealt with bulimia, anorexia, and binge eating. I've been really over weight to very under weight. I also have two children. I didn't mind having one when they were younger because they didn't really know anything. Now that they are older I feel more guilty about it because they know what it is and the dangers of one.

I've been dealing with bulimia for about eleven years. I recently did really well for two or so months until I stopped drinking and then the eating came on again... from there I seem to have relapsed and I wanted to nip this in the bud. Like you I'm tired of it. I hate the overwhelming feeling that comes over me. Once I cross that threshold theres no going back for me. I don't want to die from this. I dont. Honestly I dont know what to do.

    Hey yall. I took a hiatus from ds for a couple of weeks or more. I thought I was going to just leave ds because it's been so slow. I have been journaling in a notebook but since I don't carry it with me, it's been inconvenient.  So I apologize if I caused anyone to worry about my absence but I'm back and will be updating my journals again as I have time :)
