Q: Newly Diagnosed Eating Disorder
asked by:

Hello, I'm new here. My name is Jencarlene and I have recurring anorexia and bulimia. i am newly diagnosed and new to these boards, so I'm not sure how to post without sounding triggering. I understand that most boards do not allow certain kinds of talking that might trigger others or feed into the problem. All I know is that I have low self-esteem, a distorted body image and when I get upset or stressed (I recently broke up with a boyfriend) I have symptoms of my eating disorder. It seems like the only way I can feel in control is if I control my body. And that is by not eating. I hate food. I wish I didn't have to eat. I wish there was just some pill I could take for nutrition.
Thanks for listening.

nothing you wrote is triggering at all, my suggestion is not to post tips of any sort or something that can give someone a tip, and not to post height weights etc, if someone wishes to know the weight of someone they can PM them etc. Because people seeing weights etc can be triggering, i think tonight i am going to make a sticky post or permanent post with some rules to help out so no one gets triggered etc. thank you
thank you
