Hi, im writing because I am in need for some advice. I am 23 years old and in school to become a doctor (ya I should of known better). I have had a eating disorder for about 3.5 years, I believe it started when one of my guys friends started teasing me ( I am really not sure). Well it began when I started on the atkins diet (bad idea). I began to overexcericise with the fear of gaining weight. Well 3.5 years into it and I need help. My worst fear is gaining weight if I begin to eat healthy again, I dont know what to do. I want to get cousling help, but I cant I dont have the money for it.

If anyone has any advice or have been in a similar situation please help.

I have a minor eating disorder. You say that you attend school? Look for a counseling service there. If not, ask everyone you know--do not be embarrassed. You need to get some help especially since you have been suffering for 3.5 yrs! Have you told your family and close friends? They would probably be your first best source.

I agree with the above - especially re using the resources available at your school - counselling etc - also many people with eating disorders have emotional issues, lack of self-esteem etc - so often find support groups/group therapy etc of help in these areas & that flows on to help with the eating disorder.

There's also alot of information on the web - (google etc) & you might find a free e- book>

good luck
