I know when i found out that i friend of mine had began struggling with an eating disorder, I was like, thats mine! Don't take that away from me. Its MY bulimia!
I always asked her when she last threw up, and it became a competative thing for me. If she had thrown up more recently than me, I would kick myself for it. I would make myself go and binge, and then throw it up so I could 'win'.
I know, it was stupid. And i probably wasnt helping her either.
But now that I've decided to change, i still want to call it my bulimia. But I realize its not.
It's not part of me anymore.
It's so wierd to think that.
Yet, its sort of amazing.

I know what you mean. I feel that way when it comes to getting help. Like I want the support but then again I don't because I'm afraid.

I was inpatient recently on a psych unit watiting for a bed on the ed unit... When people found out I was their for an ed.. everyone was like I have an ed.. I am going to do this and I am going to do that and it just really pissed me off because I knew if I were to do it that I would be in so much trouble... because everyone knew about my ed.. but yet know one knew about theirs... but to be honest.. I think ed was in a lot of their heads if you know what I mean... As horrible as that sounds... But yes i felt like anorexia is my department and I didnt want anyone trapsing into my territory...

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
