GIRLS THIS IS IMPORTANT

Apr 13, 2006 20:12

Recently I've been struggling to find happiness in each day. I finally confided in one of my best friends and she said she knew something wasn't right, she could see it physically and she could see it in my eyes. She told me that she wont be able to sleep peacefully at night unless I get help. The second step was telling my mom. I couldn't break ( Read more... )

Hi!I wanted just to congratulate you for your decision. Wanting to recover is certainly the first step. But, sadly it's not the last. Anna is a disease, as you say, so, why don't asking for help? If you are ill you go to the doctor so this is the same. I'm not so silly not to understand that for you, right now, it IS different but it isn't. So my recomendation, if that means something to you, is speaking with your mother and plan together your recovery. You've already tried alone and it didn't work, and that's normal so just react before it's too late.
Do i sound too alarmist? I´m sorry but once you pass certain point you never recover from anna.
Well, I wish you all the best, really

Thanks. I'm just nervous about someone diagnosing me ya know? Like I know I suffer from it but I don't want to hear someone else tell me I am. I don't know, but thanks a ton and I do need to work it out with my mom because she's my mom and shes a huge part in my life.

Hey sweetie. I´m here to talk to you about the first part of your entry- the self worth part. Your happiness is the most important thing in this world. If you´re happy at 80 pounds or happy at 200, that´s where you should ultimately be. Anorexia just pushes you towards one extreme, telling you what you "need" to be happy. But like you said, it´s a disease, and the notion that you "need" to be skin and bones to be happy IS a falacy ( ... )

aww thank you. That's hilarious though because I just worked 9-5 on my spring break, so that was funny =). But Yeah I guess I need to work myself out not just my eating habbits. Thanks again, that was a really thoughtful reply.
