i've been thinking...i've realized that...i do not need anyone in this world other than myself....yes i do like to be around people sometimes...and dont get me wrong...i love my family and friends dearly...but i do not need them to survive... the only thing i need to survive is for me to be breathing and alive....so i need to recover from ED not for anyone else...i dont need them....but for me...cuz i do need me!!! i know this all sounds a little sadistic but it's not! nobody NEEDS anyone else really...yes we like other people sure...but in all reality do we need them to survive ourselves? no...so y should we get healthy for them? we need to get healthy for the one person we DO need...ourselves!
on a completely different topic...i have noticed that this site kind of reminds me of high school...it's a tad cliquey ...there seem to be groups of people on the ED site who stick together....so not to sound like a bitch or anything but...there are certain people's journals that i shall stop reading and commenting on because they never respond to me or read mine....so if u r reading this then chances are pretty likely that u r not one of these people .....

hee hee....i hate highschool...and i don\'t just mean the physical school.....hug....have a good day....and DO IT FOR YOU!
thats the best attitude! my treatment started out as a way to please my parents and surprise surprise i didnt recover..its wen u do it for YOURSELF that there is the possibility of real recovery and an awesome future!!
its great you are so strong and decicive, good for you, i wil suggest though that it is so important to keep the people that matter close because we all need them now more than ever. ditch thepeople that make you feel bad or unworthy but keep the lovedones close.
also, i am one of the people who never write in my blog or reply to messages, let it be knownt its not because i dont read them or i dont care, simply because im a bit of an observer. i will try blogging more, i think it helps, thanks missyS.
I know what you mean, sometimes you just don\'t want to see anyone or have anyone do anything for you. I feel the same as you but deep down I think that we do need other people to help, even if its just the people on the net or you know one friend who we are comfortable with... I dont like to open up alot but when i do it feels a bit better :)...
That\'s the right attitude. If you do it for someone else, you will not be truly recovered.
That\'s so true....you have to do it for yourself. By the way, your advice you gave me last week is helping!
