Name: Rel Title: love to talk to someone my age with anorexia

Hi, I'm38 years old and this is my 2nd time around with this disorder. I first had it when I was 17 years old. I would like to be able to share my thoughts with someone that can relate to what I am going through. Maybe I can offer some advice also, (after all I'm kind of an expert at this now). I have suffered with depression for most of my adult life and I am really trying to get a handle on all of this as it not only affects me, but my family are very distressed watching me go through this. I have four children, very loving fiance and family. My doctor tells me that I need to fix this for my family if not myself, but I find this is quite a selfish illness. The thought of having to gain weight is scarier than upsetting my family. If you are going through this you can imagine the guilt that you live with everyday. This illness teaches you to become a terrific liar to all your friends and family. Not something I'm proud of but find necessary to do so I can keep killing myself with this insane disorder. I am 6ft5" and down to 109lbs 48kg. Everyone is telling me how sick I'm starting to look, but I dont see myself like they obviously do. I weigh myself obssessively, and that number determines my food intake for the day. Hope someone can relate with me. look forward to hearing from you. ?

I wish that you could offer ME advice. I am younger than you, I'm only 15, but I have the same problem. I am actually 5'11'' and weigh 92 lbs. So, I think that is low enough to be considered anorexic...

If you could email me, I don't know if you would, but it's fire_equestrian@yahoo.com... I am really struggling right now and would love to talk, even if you AREN'T my age. I really hope you're okay with it.

I completely get what you're doing.... And it's bad, I hope you know, but I can't really be the one to rat on you. I weigh myself obsessively too, and really, we're all just spiraling downwards. Only God can help, I believe.
Will you email me?
