ANA aka, anorexia.


Question Posted Tuesday November 3 2009, 12:26 pm

okay. so i am 15/f. i have been free from anorexia for 5 months now. but i think it is coming back. i am starting to act like i used to. anorexia is triggered when there is something bothering you and you use your anorexia to distract yourself from it..it is a coping mechanism. so my depression is coming back as well and i have really low self esteem. and as i am writing this i refuse to eat. i want to lose weight. i feel like i gained so much. not eating is the only way that will make me lose weight the quickest. i just don't care about myself. i feel lonely. i don't understand why i feel this way. i feel crazy sometimes. i feel like i want to be sad and i want to be weak and broken. i have problems.

I suggest you go talk to someone about this its serious you shouldn't starve yourself and you shouldn't be sad. Go talk to someone about this you'll feel much better and even though things look bad now they'll get better if you get help!

As someone who has been a recovering anorexic for 6 years now, I strongly suggest you seek help.

I'm not sure if you were being helped while you were actively going through this, but you need it now. Relapsing is one of the worst things you can do. I relapsed once and it was so difficult to get out of it. Think about the life you want to have and everything you have going for you, and do this for you.

You should watch the movie For The Love of Nancy. It's a tear jerker for me every time I see it because of how much I know what she is going through and how I remember those feelings. But it also is a true story, and helped me to realize that if she had the strength to do what she did, we can all find that strength.

If you want to talk, inbox me. I do understand a lot of what you're feeling and going through.

And please, seek help. Teacher, parent, psychiatrist.. anyone. I went to a psychiatrist for 3 years and it helped me so incredibly much. I went through about 3-4 of them before finding one who truly got me, though. It's a process, to recover from something so scary, but it's always worth it!
