Hiya :)

By rehab to u mean an eating disorders unit (inpatient/outpatient/daypatient) - Im a day patient but it looks like im heading to inpatient, at day patients ive only ever been held down by members of staff to get my feeding tube in .. or when they were trying to take objects off me when i was trying to self harm.

its great youre trying to recover.

ive been inpatient and, although it's probably helped, i'm not quite recovered :(

i wish it would just go away, but i know it'll take time and a lot of hard work! no doubt, i'm determined to get rid of it, or at least manage it :)

keep spreading good news

love xxx

hey,

i have noticed that one of my friends has become VERY skinyy, but she still eats (i think)

it is only the early stages but i want to help her, she has never said anything to me about it, and it might not even be anorexia. but if you were to be her what would you want me to do?

thanks x

Hey,
I developed my ED in high school. (3yrs ago now)
My closest friends & other friends were in the same position as you.

At the time i almost ahted them for trying to help me, (i couldn't see what was wrong). I managed to convince my friends to lie to teachers/parents to hide my ED.
However this backfired on me & i wish i ahd let them help sooner.  I was taken out of school & to hospital after a few months because my friends couldn't lie for me anymore, it was to dangerous.

 

My advice, speak to your friend..just kind of bring the subject up but don't accuse her etc. Say you want to help if somehting is wrong. & if she rufuses, please don't let her silently suffer, it makes it'll only make it worse for her in the end.

If it's the 'early stages' you can help b4 things get to bad  xx

Hello :)

Im 14 to but not an anorexic. I have had, I suppose body worries, and Im a size 6 and I do alot of sport and things. Im so proud that you worked hard at it, I know I don't know you, but if you ever want someone to talk to you can talk to me:)

Im going through other things at the moment, I hope you will recover?

I have never been in your situation before, and I know that anorexia is an eating disorder and i have been asked many times if i have it:s but try and see the positive sides, skin and bones isen't really attractive....

Thats really sad to think you got stapped down to a chair:( Its so horrible that our minds let us feel so insecure and depressed xxxxx

Its okay, theres more to life.. Keep going? (what is the meaning behind your name pudding?)X
