Hey everyone, I am having one of "those" days, I don't know why but this morning I was just like what the hell am I doing, just beating myself up and telling myself that I can't eat like a normal person, I don't understand but it just feels like 2 people are in my head and its driving me crazy, the well part of me knows this is crazy, yet I still can't make myself eat today. I need some help please!

Hi home coming,

hang in there!!
I guess I can relate in a way except I can't stop eating lately. I try to just take it one day at a time. (even one meal at a time)
journaling is helping, I go back and read how I was feeling at a particular time of a binge. Hope this helps and if you need to talk we're here.

Aw hun I totally understand. What I keep telling myself over and over (since I desperately want to conceive) is that anorexia causes infertility and other numerous problems

Megan!
Hey sweetie! It has been a few days since your post so I hope this feeling has passed! If not, don't give in to the bad voice in your head! Tell it you are beautiful and you are hungry so you are going to eat! Look at yourself in the mirror and ask "megan do you want to be sick in the hospital or do you want to sit at the table and eat something really yummy?" you are young and I am sure active! Eat and then if you can't stand that you did, go for a walk! Walking is healthy for anyone at any size! Don't let that evil voice take over! It doesn't matter what anyone else on this planet thinks about you, as long as you know you are special and you are here on god's earth to make a difference! Make the difference by helping you get better and then someday maybe you can help another young girl in trouble with an eating disorder!
Good luck.


Cristina I am so happy you are journaling!!!! That is awesome! Keep it up girlfriend!!!
