General Comments:
I needed so much from just wandering into this site..and I found
it....the validation that I am not ccrazy..that it is a survival
mechanism, and that the "voice written in the darkness" gives me so
much peace. I have MS and have been sober for 22 years in AA, but
still find the need to cut. Severly abused as a child, and most of my
life has been a mystery...until I see myself bleed. Amazing tool to
get back to my own reality, which is easier than the one outside.
Thanks so much....

What was your favorite part of the site? therapy abuse
General Comments:
I was abused by my therapist and it led to my eating disorder, as well
as personal problems as well as professional ones. I lost 30 lbs -
everyone tells me how beautiful I am but they dont see the hurt and
pain I feel each day. I did go to the police right away and now the
case is in the criminal courts. He, of course, denies anything. And
each time there is an upcoming hearing or anything related to him, my
eating gets worse. I have a great female therapist who is helping but
it is still soooo hard. The worst part is that he is still practicing
and could be doing this to others. Best wishes to everyone who is
struggling...my thoughts are with you

Your story has been very interesting and moving. I want to read
more of it because I identify with it on many levels. I am assuming
that by signing your guestbook I will be able to read the rest of it.
I wish I could have read the whole thing without being forced to sign
the book.

I am actually writing a paper on body image and I found this website
that when at first click it just captured my attention. I have not
struggled with actually regurgitating my food (mostly due to the
simple fact that I have the worst phobia of vomit. But I have
struggled in other areas similar to those expressed on your website. A
big question I have though is, in any way did the media, play a part
in your experience with this issue, or do you know many that say it
has. How strong of an influence? If anyone has an answer to this
please feel free to contact me at my e-mail: Pumpkin93550@yahoo.com
ALSO I just wanted to tell you that your website is amazing. Your
story is so REAl. If that makes sense and I wish everyone continued
suceess in every battle, this too shall pass. I believe that our
bodies, no matter what you believe are creations of God! How else do
you explain the complexity and uniquness. How everything works
together in a system like man cannot re-create. Your Body is the
lord's temple. How do we want to keep ot's sanctuary.

It helps me feel like I'm not a freak and I'm not alone. It is a
survival mechanism, and I would have been dead a long time ago if it
wasn't for the relief it brings me when I'm hurting. Thank you. I'm 32
and I've been doing it at least 17 years. No one noticed until 3 or 4
years ago.

I was exploring eating disorder sites on google (actually
ceahow meeting listings) and followed the links. This is a great site.
I printed out the alternatives to bingeing amd identifying feelings
pages. I hope the alter. to self-abuse help others although I know
they wouldn't have helped me when I was in that behaviour mode. I
have, thank God, found my way free of the cutting, burning, and
physically self-bashing for the last 3 1/2 years. Still working on the
coe/bingeing and low self-estemm but have come a long, long way in the
last 10-12 years after beginning to work on a childhood of incest,
neglect etc and youth of repeated rapes etc. There is hope if we don't
give up hope.

I came to this site because i realized that i needed help. I thought that i was overcoming my eating disorder, but i realized that im still just beginning. I've realized that this is a serious thing, and that nobody should just sit around and let themselves become consumed by it. this is like a disease. it IS a disease, and like an epidemic, it is spreading out faster than any virus that i have ever seen. i am the third person in my tiny school class alone to be stricken by a serious eating disorder, the second person to be hospitalized for one, and the third has yet to go. Unless im mistaken, there is no other disease of epidemic proportions in existance that strikes this hard, this fast, and this frequently.
this is just as serious as teen pregnancy, drug addiction, HIV, and even AIDS, if not worse. It can be just as serious, just as harmful to a teen's life, and it can be just as deadly as any of these dangers that are posed to us. it can strike just as quickly, and it can stay with a person for years, if not for an entire lifetime.
Aids has been blown out of the closet with a multitude of awareness activism and prevention measures. the epidemic is hopefully more under control now than it was a few years ago.
the same steps need to be taken with eating disorders. we need to strike now. i can see, even within my own hometown, how serious this is becoming.
we need to come out of the secrecy that an eating disorder entails.
we need to be able to ask for help. we need to be able to feel safe, and to feel that we can come out into society as people with a simple problem, as people who will not be discriminated against for our problems.
if anybody agrees with me, please contact me. i want to start speaking out about eating disorders, and making sure that this epidemic can dissapear as soon as possible.

General Comments:
This site is awesome. It helps me realize how much life really is
worth living. I have been suffering from eds for alomost three years.
My family has suffered, but so have I. If its not worth the pain,then
why do I keep going back and I dont know why. I would like to find a
site on chewing and spitting because I have experienced this and it is
hard to conquer, especially with little info out there about it. If
anyone has any more advice on overcoming emotional eating and just
being okay with yourself, I would seriously appreciate it. I am in
single and group therapy, but I seem to need all the help I can get.
My prayers are with all those in this world who suffer from eds and
all the silent killers out there.
