UPDATE
I want to update my “status” so you know a little bit more about the person you’re talking to (and add some information you already “knew”)
My ED started in October 2009, and it ended like a year later.
My first therapy was with a psychologist from Feb 2010 to June 2010.
My diagnosis was just depression.
I started to cut myself April 2010, and a couple of weeks...
Anonymous asked: I think i may be developing an eating disorder, apparently i have a normal body (i am 5 foot 5 and weigh around 55kg) but i genuinely feel fat all the time. I move things in the fridge sometimes so the things containing the most calories are at the back so i won't see it and be tempted to eat it as i usually punish myself for eating (once purged, usually cut). I don't know where to go...

x-shes-not-eating-again-x asked: No problem for the info. I'm a psych major so I keep up with this stuff. I like your blog btw <3 :)
x-shes-not-eating-again-x asked: You know, the new DSM comes out in May. Two major changes include the removal of the criteria requiring loss of menstral cycle in females for anorexia, less binge/purge episodes per week required for bulimia, and the addition of binge eating disorder. Also the weight requirements for anorexia have changed and become more relaxed. I saw you wrote the DSM 4 criteria on your blog. Thought you should...

Anonymous asked: I can't stop thinking about how many calories people are eating. It's just turned into a normal thought for me, like when my friends are eating pizzas at partys or drinking a hell of a lot of alcohol and I just can't. I can't put all those calories into my body and I'm scared. I can barely eat an apple without panicking about how I'll get. I need to stop this but I...
Anonymous asked: is it okay to have an eating disorder for attention? or try to take on the symptoms or an eating disorder? why do people do it? is it because theres some other problem?
Anonymous asked: I always feel like I'm too fat to be anorexic. People around me always say "you have to eat more, you look anorexic." Instead of eating more, I eat less, because I feel like I have to live up to the criteria 'being anorexic skinny".
Anonymous asked: I had both anerexia and bulimia last year, and I am still in the process of recovering. My friend, and tumblr have helped me through it all. My parents don't know, and I don't want to tell them. Do you know of any online chat groups or anything for recovery? I feel like I'm going to relapse and I really don't want to!! :'(

First of all, I want to made it clear that I’m not a professional. I’m an 18 years old girl who had an ED in 2010, and because of that, I had depression, I start to cut, and I tried to kill myself. I’m studying Architecture, nothing to do with Medicine/Psychology/Psychiatry. All I know is based on my experience. I say this because most of the questions I get are asking me if they...
Anonymous asked: how was your ed like a game? can you please really explain what went on in your mind during those early stages??

Anonymous asked: I want to go into treatment but I'm scared to tell my family. What should I do?
Anonymous asked: I feel so guilty after eating 3 meals a day. Why is that I can't be a normal person. Why is that I'm still fat. Why must I keep going to the scale even though I know it's not gonna tell me what I like. Why do these thoughts absorb my every being and when will I finally be happy?

Anonymous asked: I struggled with bulimia and anorexia starting when I was 15, about 8 years ago. I went to see a dietitian, but my parents always said I was lying about it. During college I relapsed and recovered with the help of friends. I no longer have the support system of friends I used to have now that I have graduated college and have relapsed worse than before. I crave the control from restricting food. I...

Anonymous asked: Do you think in order for me to recover from my anorexia and bulimia, my mom needs to know? Im 15 and we're really close but im terrified of how she will react especially since Ive mentioned the terrible eating behaviours of those around me at school.
Anonymous asked: I don't know if I want to recover, or if I really have anything to recover from? But I want to be able to eat without wanting to cry and I want to not throw the lunch that my mum worked to make me in the bin. I want to stop lying to everyone. But I don't want to gain weight, if anything I want to lose more so more people notice and they have to take action. What is wrong with me?
Anonymous asked: Last night I told my boyfriend I was bulimic. I've never been diagnosed, and I've never told anyone before this. He cried and told me he doesn't understand why I can't love myself the way he loves me. I felt so guilty for making him upset. He made me promise to try and stop and I want to more than anything. I'm starting therapy next week but I don't know if...

fuckhefoundit-deactivated201303 asked: I want to stop bingeing. Cause it's caused me to gain back all the weight I've lost during the past year. Obviously I'd like to return to my pre-bingeing weight, but healthily this time. Problem is, it's apparently all or nothing. I either restrict myself to about 300 cals a day, or eat everything I can get my hands on. Now what?

Anonymous asked: I need help. I can't stop... I've gone through so much and now I'm back to where i was. I got sick and I liked the weight loss i guess so i started to restrict and workout way too much. Then on top of that i started purging the small amounts that i did eat. Then I stopped purging because it started to get noticeable on my knuckles and my eyes. Then I started starving. Now, i...

Anonymous asked: Um, hi. I think I might have an eating disorder. I used to just fast and eat very low calorie totals (smaller than 200) and I would do cardio before/after every meal, but then I moved in with my dad for the summer and I've been binging and taking laxatives/or overexcercising to get rid of it. What kind of disorder is that?

Anonymous asked: I'm looking forward to the next few days-weeks. I'm finally in control. I am the voice in my head. If I eat I know I'll ruin everything. I don't want any help because I know I can handle this. I know its best for me. Water and cutting is the only things that get me through the day. I know I'm sick but its better this way, its just better.

Anonymous asked: somewhere deep inside i know i'm not fat. i know my weight shouldn't be as important to me as it is. but that side is always run down by negative thoughts. i want that food... but not as much as i want to loose weight. i want to be in control of something in my life. i want to be normal. but i've forgotten how.

Anonymous asked: Help me. I bounce back and forth between purging out normal amounts of food and starving myself (about 300 calories a day). My mom had an eating disorder when she was my age and she still struggles with it. She doesn't realize how much she triggers me. I wish I could tell her. I need help. I don't want to end up like her. 47 and still struggling.
