So I've had an eating disorder for almost 4 years now and I'm trying to recover. I was in the hospital for 9 months this year. Before I left I had like a natural high. I was feeling so good about myself and not worried about my weight and I knew I was healthy. About a month after I got out all of my problems came back. It was really hard because I gained 30 pounds. I'm 5'7 and now weigh 120, which I know is "healthy" but I want to be less. I know I can't lose weight though because I will never lose enough to please myself and I'll just cause myself to relapse. If I don't restrict/purge I harm myself in other ways (cutting, popping pills, etc.). I feel like I have no one to talk to about it, besides my therapist..but I want a friend I can go to at any time and talk to this about. (link)

Hi there, I understand what you are going through. With our society the media basically glamorizes thinness and weightloss. I know you want to lose more weight. But there is honestly nothing wrong with your weight. My doctor told me I was borderline aneroxic b/c I was so underwweight the beginning of highschool. I just didn't want to gain weight, b/c I felt like everyone around me was thinner or prettier. Its been 4 years and I know that you can base yourself on other people. You are beautiful and healthy and you will continue to be once you can beat this horrible life altering eating disorder. I feel bad for you being in a hospital for nine months, but if you don't get help this can happen again and again. And the self harm I wish I could make you stop somehow.
However I do like talking to people about their problems or concerns. I joined advicenators because I had a problem and when other people were able to help me I decided I wanted to turn around and do the same thing. So if you want to email please feel free to, we can talk about anything you want and possible solutions to help you get your life back to where it needs to be.
IF you would like to talk give me your email when you rate me, and I will email you asap.
If you donot want to talk then I wish you a very happy life, good luck with everything, and you are a strong person, you can overcome all of this if you just believe in yourself. :)
