i feel so lost within my own mind. i can't make sense of anything that happens anymore. i am so emotional all the time. i can't talk to anyone about my eating because they don't know. i think its getting serious as i haven't eaten in months. i don't want people to know because they will make me eat, but i need someone to talk to about it to comfort me  ?

Hi yaz, sorry you are feeeling so lost - probably part of the reason you are so confused and emotional is because you are not eating enough - when your blood sugar drops below normal those are some of the first things that happen. I know it's really hard but you should really tell someone close to you about what is going on - fi not a fmaily member than a close friend - it will lift a huge weight off your shoulders. They cannot force you to eat if you don't want to but there are ways to eat properly without gaining wieght - see a dietician that has experience with eating disorders - they aren't that expensive.
And think about it - is the way your felling now worse than you would feel if you ate a little bit? Even if it is, it's still better than ending up in the hospital. Hope this helps a little  =

Hello
like you i also feel so lost and alone
no one seems to understand me
iv been starving myself for only a week or two, but as far back as i remember iv had problems with food.
im constantly crying, and times i have eaten iv made myself sick many of times which makes me feel even worse.
iv also selfharmed a few times aswel.
i just cant take it anymore
i seriously just want to be skinny, than i feel i will be confident and so on.
how much weight have you lost?
i could do with someone to talk to.
this lonelyness is killing me =[

hey there. i know how you feel. there are times where you just sit there and you think, wow really NO ONE understands me..I can't trust ANYONE...no one is trustworthy...and the indescribible, gut wrenching, maddening feeling that you are really all alone.....this horrible feeling plagued me one night, and i remembering suddenly, because of it, that i wanted to kill myself...i couldn't bare not having anyone to talk to; and this is personally why i find pro-ana sites and forums (and no i'm not talking about anas who try to "recruit" other ppl to become anorexic, to me i think thats a common misconception) to be so important, because it allows you to connect with others that feel the same way so that one may not feel so isolated and trapped... anyway, have you like literally not eaten ANYTHING? like fasting? for months? if so that is rllllllly dangerous. or is it that like you've barely been eating anything for months?

rly, if you wanna chat, email me at breathin_thin@yahoo.com. just come and vent to me, to someone who can relate. it can be amazingly comforting. i'll be here to listen.. [=]  =
